My theory is that playing cards work like a thermostat, as the cards get warm they warp because one side of the card expands while the other side remains rigid. Humidity makes this even worse. I have decks that I have used for years that still look pretty new and handle pretty well. Lyle and I...

I'd love to see what you have :)

Dang, this is gold!

I use fingernail clippers for the corners. If I need a short corner of course. I haven't found any good way to shave the edge of a deck.

Check out Theo Anneman, his books are great. Jay Sankey has Hemispheres and 22 Blows to the head, both are great. They are full of good mental magic.

The wait is the most painful part! the quickest turn around I have had has been for magic that was rejected. They say 72 hours but this is rarely accurate in my experience. It takes a long time, they are really trying to go for quality products and that takes time. The explanation usually is...

Best place to practice for me while I was learning was the foot of the bed.

It's MUCH more difficult to have a company publish your idea in place of self publishing but in my experience it is much more lucrative. I have self published on the Marketplace and Penguin and have made hundreds of dollars, maybe even over a thousand in the 5ish years these avenues have been...

It's all good man :)

I found some Monarchs at Barnes and Noble. It might have something to do with exposure. Generally regular decks don't come with gaffs like that. Some magicians might not be happy that you could get gaffs at Barnes and Noble.

Alan Rorrison has a handful of ideas on his Murphy's lecture. He has a card to wallet as well as a sandwich trick.

I'm pretty sure it is called: "AMERICAN FLAG SILK BLENDO USA Stage Magic Trick Bag EZ Clown Production Magician"

No, the marketplace is an alternative way to self publish. Theory11 still accepts submissions for the main site. You go down to the bottom of any page on the site and click "Submit a Trick". Follow the instructions and put your best foot forward. Good luck!

Great job Pete!

You can make your own for personal use here. There are some limits to how much you can do for small batches...

That was way funny I need to do that with my dog :)

I think it's a reflection on the love of the classics :)
