In all fairness, Wayne, you're probably biased because you work for two companies that sell custom decks. However, I'm glad you wrote what you did. I disagreed loudly with Sankey's rant about custom cards. There are many more cards out there than Bicycle Riders. Heck, Bicycle is marketing...

I lean toward Ghosts. But they are both incredible decks. The Ghost wins, in my opinion, because it fans longer, the joker reveal is subtle but more identifiable and the cards are white. My biggest gripe with the Shadow Masters is that the ink on the outer edges of the faces and backs wears...

Hey T11: The only pics of Centurions posted are of the box, backs and joker. Can we see more? In color? Please?

Hi. I'm Joe. I'm not a card addict. I can quit whenever I want to! And I just don't want to! OK, I'm still in the denial phase. I stay up way too late practicing and playing with cards. I have a pathological need to have a deck on me wherever I go. Thank God my fiancee understands why I...

My first question: Did Ponsin credit the effect's creator before teaching it? Second question: Did the creator authorize the instruction and/or receive compensation for it? Ponsin seems to have compatriots in E, T11 and any other magic teaching company that teaches an effect while giving credit...

The Prestige, while a great movie and even better book, never featured a magician compelled to tell the truth in a court of law under oath. To the best of my research (albeit limited), that has never happened in the American judicial system.

Here's the scenario: You are called to testify in a murder trial. The method of performing a certain illusion is critical to the case, and one of the lawyers asks you to reveal the method. The judge has allowed cameras in the courtroom and denied your request to not answer the question. So, what...

Books have paragraphs. And indentations. Try them. (Edit: Dangit! CDarklock beat me on that point.) Katie: I thought you were hotter doing a hot-shot cut in a hoodie than you were in lingerie holding red Guardians. But I hope that cardistry is NOT the future of magic. Cardistry is definitely a...

I already said as much over on the E forums, but I'm stoked about the show. It will help to mainstream magic, and bring new interest from people to watch it. It's also going to drive me to work at my art more. If Kim Wyatt does a faro shuffle better than me, I'm gonna be demoralized. :) Also...

I think I'm the kind of guy that wants to leave my audience asking, "How did he do that?" Not "WHY did he do that?" But that's just me. Floss on, brother man.

Any printing differences? Any other ways to tell if a deck of Guardians is first or second edition? Anything printed on the outside? And when's Katie going to release her crimson ones already? :) ~mojoe

T11's Guardians and E's Masters and 1800s have duplicate jokers. That makes a certain David Blaine trick easier to perform with just one deck. But I really dig the jokers with the reveals on them, especially when using color changes.

I got a deck and found them to handle just like the E Vintage 1800s, except that they didn't fan at all. They are clumpy, sticky and make double lifts particularly nerve-racking. I got my 1800s to fan for the first couple of weeks, at least. The Tragic deck is not so good for XCM, obviously, but...

How do they warp: Are they concaved with the back on the bubble? Do the opposite corners start going in different directions? I've experienced the former warp on about every Bike/Bee/Bike PokerPeek I've bought. Occasionally my Ghosts will warp like the latter, but not as often. I have one or two...
