    Bicycle seems to be the main brand used but you should go to a magic shop and check out the decks they sell, they have been let’s say modified for some tricks you can’t do with a regular deck.

    Bicycle is the way to go. Many of the gimmicked decks out there can be purchased in Bicycle style so they look like Bicycle.

    Good Luck

    Bicycle is the best for many reasons; it is extremely easy to slide, double-lift, and as somebody else said, many gimmicked decks are made to look like bicycle. You also know that they are popular, and have many different versions of them, such as…

    Traditional-Classic cards that you are used to, found at

    Ghost-My favorite inverted looking deck found at

    Black Tiger-Similar to the ghost, but with slightly different colors found at

    Plastic-Just plain cool and weird found at

    So if you haven’t figured it out yet, go with bicycle.
