hi

i saw a topic on E's forum where they say fanning powder doesn't works on any bikes..(even ghost, vipers and tiger?)

is it true?

by the way where can i get the cheapest fanning powder around?

sorry...it was on Penguin's forum not E's

here it is

is it true?? :huh:

That's totally BS.

I used FP on my bikes a lot and it works for me! :)

Try it out urself and see.

Fanning powder works best with cards that have air cushion cos the powder would stick to those little dents.

Doesnt work very well with Alladins or Aviators.

Fanning power is a zinc compound known as zinc sterate. Zinc stearate actually coats the cards and leave them with a soapy-like finish feeling. If fanning power doesnt work on bikes or like you mention ghosts, vipers and tigers. Then fanning power is basically useless! But you may want take note when you use fanning power on vipers and tigers because they are black in colour while fanning power is white in colour.
Get you supplies from dealers in this forum.

THanks A lot guys!

really enlighten me thought..

so who's selling fanning powder??

anybody wanna MO together??? :!!: :!!: :!!:

MO? what's that? :huh:

mass order?

haha..where is the cheapest fanning powder??

A bottle of fanning powder can be used for.. Months. 50 Decks, 100 Decks, shouldnt be a problem.

Mass order? You use fanning powder to powder your armpits arh? Hahaha. :P

HAHAHA.. powder armpits.. LOL :lol:

how much is one bottle?

haha what he ment by mass order is that if you want order, order together with him haha not to keep spares to power his armpits!!! hahaaha :g: :!!:

Around $7 - $8.

The next question would be: Where can I get it?

Ans: Golden Landmark.

Wahahaha.... golden landmark costs 6.50 only... I'm getting Cadbury to buy for me :D Hahas....Go Golden Landmark Buy ba.

yup.... btw anyone knows where to get a good mahjong table and set? wanna compare with the golden landmark shop

haha...powder armpit..

armpit later smoother than the cards how?

anyway thanks guys...will take a look at Golden Landmark :D

i once heard that we could use baby powder as a substitute, if you can't find fanning powder..

at 1st my cards kinda went stiff, but now i guess their back to normal. haha. and can still be fanned. but i wouldn't really recommend it...

i better go find fanning powder :D

:blink: what brand of baby powder u used? what was the initial effect of it ?

the fanning powder got instruction claiming user must wash hand after use.

is it got toxin ? then if we do the card to mouth, how ?

Ah, if u eat too much, ya it is not good for you.

haha, one deck for flourshing and another clean deck for card to mouth :)
better be safe then never

hmm.. wolf, i kinda just grabbed the powder from the bathroom..

but anyway, it's johnson and johnson's baby powder.. i used it becos i kinda got desperate, since my deck was getting really stiff.

at first, the deck is kinda powdery, and maybe stiff becoz it already is.., ya?

later on the deck kinda gets a different texture (slightly smooth), but whether it's as good as fanning powder, i dunno, since i never used it...

you could call my deck "seasoned" :lol:

:lol: :lol: seasoned deck.

actually i prefer my deck to be a bit season and sticky. because i have very dry hands..(yeah so dry and "friction-less" that i can't even do a classic color change)

slippery cards? hmm...my handling is that good with them.

LOL :lol:
"Seasoned" as in 'adding salt and pepper' to your deck? lmao

Anyways, just curious about this Fanning Powder...
I've never used it so I was just wondering if it's fine or course and how it helps in fanning...
Can anyone describe it to me please? :)

Hi..

I am not too sure. But i recall my teacher telling me once that normal powder contains a bit of starch.

Hence at first, using normal powder will make it smooth. But, once the powder absorbs water from humidity in air or hands, it will become sticky (causing the deck to become like one block of wood.. ) and spoil your cards.

Not too sure if it applies to baby powder too. So, i think its probably safer to invest in a bottle of fanning powder (which doesn't cost too much and last for very long)..

Cheerios. A. :g:

Fanning powder is very fine powder.
It helps in fanning because it keeps the cards 'stick' to each other, yet allowes the cards to slide over each other.
Here's how I think it work(notice it's think): The powder itself is slightly sticky, hence it keeps the cards together. Since there is a layer of powder between each card, the cards can slightly over each other easily.
This is what I thought, it may(most probably) not be true.

Thanx TayYH89!
I think I get the idea of the Fanning Powder now. :D
I'm definitely gonna get a bottle for myself! ;)

Yeah. The deck feels sticky but can fan really well. It helps in your fanning/ or other flourishes a lot. Yeah. I bought also. Golden Landmark sells them for $6.50
:g: got mine from there.

Fanning powder can improve more than just fans. It makes your spread and springs, more even. It makes armspread closes easier too.

I think it really is time to get one as my deck is getting a little too stiff and sticky now.. Not the kind of deck you wanna do a fan with right? :D
