Playing Cards (poker)

I would personally recommend Bicycle:

You can usually get them cheap from magic shops, however the quality are amazing.

I am a magician and use these, along with other magicians too, they produce a large different range of playing cards but they are all air cushioned and high end quality. This video can show you the quality of how they can be used:

 
+1 for Bicycle cards.

I don't think I've ever played with Kem or Copag cards (maybe in a casino) but they are highly regarded. I use Bicycle cards because they are high (the same?) quality and good value. I would get too paranoid using £15+ cards for regular poker tournaments knowing that they will inevitably bend out of shape. If you decide to buy a Bicycle deck, I bought mine through a reseller on Amazon.
 
I swear KEM and Bicycles are made by the US Playing Card company or am I wrong?

Standard Bicycle cards will last a while, but Tally Ho's tend to be the better of them, I cannot say I have tried KEM's to be honest so I wouldn't know.
 
I bought a pack of normal Tally Hos and some Tally Ho Vipers, the vipers are THE sexiest cards in the world ever!

Very very smooth cards, bought them for flourishes etc but havent really done any since buying them, need to get soem tricks sorted :)
