I got started in Card Magic about a year ago and have experimented with many decks:
Bikes (Red,Blue,Ghost,Black Tigers, Masters, 1800's)
Tally's (Red,Blue,Vipers)
I've also dabbled with Rio Casino Decks (Obviously some limitations)
I practise and perform solely with Red/Blue Tally's. For some reason, they just break-in more quickly, and I'm more comfortable with them. They also wear out alot faster... But they are cheap when you order them in bulk:

On another note, I Love the look and feel of the Black Tiger/Tally Viper/Ghost deck. But like I hate it when someone says "Are those Magic Cards", or "Hey, Cool Cards". Immediately they think something is up, which may or may not be what you are trying to achieve.
