Texan No. 45 Palmetto Red

From the book: ”Jeff Busby’s Secret of the Palmettos” As a playing card alone – even without the “Secret of the Palmettos” – the Texan is a superior card. Aside from the appeal of the elegant back design, it is equal to the standard Bee diamond Back, or the old Bee Worm Back, for visual deception with a false deal. The finish is well-known air-cushion finish which allows the card to literally “float” over each other. They are highly flexible, so steals and palms work beautifully. Moreover, they have a “slip”, “snap”, and a thin feel to them that makes turning over a double, feel like handling a feather. The cutting process is superb. (Jeff Busby, 1998)
