The explanation for the deck's relation to SIMULATION was not described in the article, though I specifically sent it for that reason, but we all make mistakes. I chose the name because we as magicians spend our career presenting one thing as something else entirely. While you may not see this in th...

Hey there guys! In about two weeks or so I will be launching a KickStarter campaign for my new "Fifth Deception" playing cards, which have already been briefly featured on TuckCase,com! If you'd like to get updates (info, images and more) before ANYBODY ELSE, please click on this link: htt...

Thank you so much for your thoughts.

Hey guys! I am first and foremost a magician. I'm NOT into Cardistry, nor do I perform fancy flourishes. HOWEVER, I decided to give it a go just for the heck of it, so here is my attempt at a mock trailer for my new flourish, the "Cafe Cut", which, besides looking flashy and pretty, retain...

Hey guys!

I was recently invited to Obie O'Brien's 4F's convention, and I was wondering:

HOW DO I PREPARE?????

Thanks!

What is the deck to the right of the Ritual Playing Cards?

FLASH is a revamped version of the classic color-changing knives, but with flash or USB drives. What I like about it is how simple it is to perform, and the kicker at the end is SO unexpected. I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks very much! I knew that all of these resources existed, but I was talking more around the lines of certain moves that I can practice while I wait for my money to grow enough to purchase one or more of these aforementioned DVD's. However, you DID give me a great selection, so thank you!

Hey guys! I've been in magic for 10 years, but only just started liking the idea of actually learning cardistry. however, I need help as I do not know where I should start. Have any ideas? Thanks!

-Eric

I was lucky enough to get ahold of the Phoenix deck, but I haven't opened it because I thought I might be able to find another to actually use. No such luck...

I'm not into Cardistry, but I feel like I should start in order to increase the devastating dexterity of my devious digits. What do you think?

Don't go Walrus! We haven't even walked the beach with you yet! Besides, they're just having non-card-related fun; we all need a break sometimes. Also, does anyone have the new ORNATE decks yet? I'd like to know what you think before I purchase one or two...

Same idea, yes, but much more geometric in design. You get the idea, though. And what kind of sea mammal? Walrus?

First of all. that's AWESOME. What the hell is that?!

Second of all, no, that's not what I mean. I meant all the cards have the same rainbow design on them, as opposed to what that deck displays, or the Spectrum deck, for that matter. It's hard to explain without showing you an example...

No, Magic_Orthodoxy; we're actually talking about these: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e0BG39ctq4A/S52hyTdO-7I/AAAAAAAAAKY/zc7TUNYKHRs/s1600-h/cb43_1.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I totally understand what you guys are saying. As a collector myself I am very aware of the v...

Here's a random thought: Would any flourishers be interested in a deck of cards with a full rainbow back design? And I don't mean the DECK is rainbow; I mean each CARD has a rainbow design on it, plus some designs in the corners as an extra addition.

I had a VERY serious question to ask y'all. If it were approved by the casino, how many of you might be interested in a reprint of the blue Jerry's Nugget playing cards, reproduced as faithfully and as closely as possible to the originals? Keep in mind that the originals had a finish that is no long...

*sigh* You know what, fine. Let's just call it clip-art and be done with it. I didn't post my art so that we could create petty arguments. I wanted constructive criticism and THAT'S ALL. Does that sound okay to you?

The font is called "Cornucopia of Ornaments", and you press "W".

Wow...I didn't realize they were clip-art somewhere else. I found them as a font, and adjusted them as needed. Thanks for the info; I really appreciate your diligence.

First of all, I appreciate your thoughts, and I understand. Second of all, that's NOT clip-art, and third, I'm doing all of my designs in Microsoft Paint because that's all I have; this isn't going to turn out perfect.

I'm not sure what you mean by "line weights". And yes, the wavyness is to SIMULATE SILVER FOIL ONLY. It is NOT part of the design.

Thanks for the input. I finished the back design and adjusted the line on the left side of the deck; apparently I cannot have both the distributor and the USPCC on the same deck. The first link is with the title in the normal place; the second has the "on the bottom" idea, and the third is...

I wasn't totally sure how I wanted them, though AARCO faces may match the style the best. HOWEVER, I know that people (magicians especially) get sick of the standard faces, even the AARCO ones, so I'm not sure what the preference might be.

Hey guys! I wanted to be a little ambitious with my next project, so here's the result of that mind-push. I call them the "EMPEROR" Playing Cards, and I think the tuck looks really nice. The back design is not finished yet, and I plan on putting a subtle pattern behind the main designs. I ...

I have all of the templates direct from USPCC (I emailed them; they are extremely nice). I received the templates for Ace through King in Bicycle AND Aarco faces. In Bicycle however, the court cards are slightly incomplete; I assume this is so you can customize them if you wish. Here is their email:...

Hey there! Today my prototypes arrived for my "Penny Back" design (for those of you wondering where the name comes from, the type of bicycle featured on the back design was called a "penny-farthing"). What do you think? Would YOU buy this deck? Link: http://s1307.beta.photobucket...

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know that I will be releasing my new effect, the "Toboggan Control", on Theory11's "The Wire" online marketplace. The link to the official trailer is below, so please watch it, tell me what you think, and kindly buy the download once it is avail...

Thanks for the support! Technically I'm a semi-pro, as I cannot find enough magical work where I live to support myself, but I sort of like it that way. My debut release on the Wire will be something I call the "Toboggan Control". It was submitted today, so expect a release within the next...

Hey guys! I was just wondering whether or not you might like to check out my YouTube channel and give me some feedback on these effects I've posted. They are a mix of "covers" and original effects, some of which will be featured on Theory11's "The Wire" (plug, plug). Thanks! Link...
