I just purchased a set of gimmicked cards from ebay to learn the ultimate three card monte. Iam not sure if the spectators will notice it, but the cards are not genuine bicycles, they have a very glossy texture. I want to perform with ungimmicked cards, then I want to switch to the gimmick. Does anyone know where I can buy a genuine bicycle set with the original
mat texture? or to be similar like this?

If you purchased from EBay, you may well have gotten knockoff cards. If you buy thru a reputable dealer you will get genuine Bicycle stock. I don't know about Greece, but there are several online dealers in EMEA; World Magic Shop, Alakazam, Propdog, etc. Card-Shark has Phoenix stock and has this in "Parlor" size.

I couldn't find in any reputable dealer red , they had only blue cards. So I ordered from ebay...Thank you Scott
