Have any of you Cardists experimented with a product called Science Friction. It is good for various magic tricks ie double and triple lifts to name a few but I wonder if it has any Cardistry applications.

Although I love the color Orange , I just find orange colored decks harder to fan compared to white based decks

You are comparing two different decks obviously. The color has nothing to do with it.

Like Russell says, the difference is in the decks themselves, not the colors. The finish is applied on top of the ink, so it is this (along with stock) that determines their handling.

Sidenote: If you were to compare orange Bikes with red Bikes, the orange ones are actually more likely to handle better due to them being printed in less quantities with subsequently higher quality control (assuming they are from the same factory, of course).
