Unless he is being dishonest with his video, he is using Tally-Ho cards. Nothing real special about them, except that they are perhaps a bit more durable than Bicycles. My poker-buddies and I always used Bicycles because they were durable enough for a single session at the table, and we could often find them in multi-packs at discount prices.Sorry! said:To do some of the tricks he's doing you need a specially made deck.
It doesn't necessarily have to be static, it could just be the vacuum between the cards. I do something similar with my old Magic the Gathering cards. They're old, so there's definitely no static between them. If I press them together slightly, I can toss an entire deck across the room to my friend and it stays together.With a fresh deck between a bit of bending and some static the cards can stick together like that fairly well.

The fact that some people think he's using a special deck of cards shows just how good he is.
It's like when I play an online game and people think I'm using a hack. It's a compliment, since I know I'm not, I must be pretty good if other people think I must be cheating to accomplish what I did.
There could be several reasons for this warning. It is possible that this person has a history of cheating or manipulating the cards while dealing. It could also be because this person is not well-versed in the rules of the game and may make mistakes while dealing, leading to an unfair game.
If this person is known for cheating, it could result in losing money or the integrity of the game. If the person is inexperienced, it could lead to confusion and unfair gameplay, causing frustration for all players.
Some red flags to look out for include excessive shuffling or handling of the cards, hiding cards under the table, and dealing from the bottom of the deck. If you are suspicious, you can also ask for a different dealer or switch to a different game.
While it is not always the case, it is generally safer to have an experienced dealer who knows the rules and techniques of dealing. This reduces the chances of mistakes or unfair play. However, if the person is willing to learn and follow the rules, they can still be trusted to deal fairly.
If you suspect someone of cheating, it is best to bring it up with the group or the host of the game. It is important to address the issue calmly and without accusing anyone directly. If necessary, you can also stop playing and leave the game to avoid any further conflict.
