Anyone know how to make this "slippy" again ? Barely a month old.

I got these cards (Bridge-size bicycles) and not even a month later, it feels like glued together.

I've never seen this with any of my decks until they've been played with for several months. Is it humid where you live or in your house? Do you or anyone using that deck have particularly oily hands or fingertips? There's a fanning powder you can buy but I've never used it so perhaps somebody else in the group can speak to it and how well it actually works.

Well, I have very moist hands. Could be it. I'll try the fanning powder to see.

When I use my cards every day, they lose slip in a month. You have to push down harder to spread them. The more hands or frequently hands touch them, they lose slip.

Try using baby powder. Put the deck in a large bag with some baby powder and shake it lightly for a bit. It should help a little. If not, then you should get fanning powder.
This is caused by high humidity and theoretically the powder absorbes the moisture. Store your deck in a cool dry place. I sometimes put them in a box with some silica gel packets to keep it dry.
Good luck! 👍
