    Saturday Night Contest - This House is Made of Cards

    Crap, serious? I swear that I read 12 PM EST as the deadline, not the awards... I could have had this up way earlier if I paid attention. No matter, it would be a shame now to not enter it. With my wedding now less than a week away (next Saturday morning) my fiance suggested I do a wedding...

    What percent of cards is paper?

    Not really. Vodka's are made from a rather unique cardstock. I suppose if you put it to a really bright backlight, maybe, but I have never seen any problems.

    What percent of cards is paper?

    Voila. Don't take my word for it. Again, not all cards are made the same way, but this is very much typical. L

    What percent of cards is paper?

    Doug is correct for most playing cards out there. The black layer you see in the middle when you tear a card is not paper or cardboard, it is a dark glue that serves two purposes - Holding the paper together and making the cards opaque so that the value is not visible from the other side of the...

    The classic pass. Why?

    There is a place and time for all things. The pass is great once you have practiced it to the point where you no longer need to think of it and you are experience in misdirection. It is very useful when you need to keep the order of a deck. You can cut the deck and in an instant have the entire...

    New Karnival Deck

    Every deck of Karnival cards I have ever ended up with has reminded me of how terrible some ideas can actually be. Never held a Karnival deck I liked. Ever. Expensive cards, terrible, ugly designs, and less-than-regular-bicycle quality. They feel slick and cool out of the box. For about twenty...

    ever forget to check your pockets on laundey day?

    Exactly. Do your own and be careful. I did leave a deck in a nice porper clip at a restaurant once, someone came long after we left and lifted it so I never got it back.

    Blood Question?

    Telling you what you need would be revealing of sorts, but lets just say that the tools you need are cheap and very easy to come by in the US and the UK, but I am not sure about everywhere else.

    Card Design

    I am mixed. I don't like the rhino idea, but the execution is pretty awesome. Props for that at least. Let me know if you make other attempts. L

    M By Daniel Madison

    And I would take the exact opposite viewpoint. Many of my reputation making tricks are either d's or based off of one of his tricks in part. He is one of the few people today that is putting fresh, useful ideas out there. L

    Tarantula or M5

    Or better yet, open your mind, see the effects accomplished by both devices, and come up with your own way to do them. Then, not only do you have new things in your arsenal, but you will have expanded what you thought possible in magic. L

    No more d+M?

    d is well known for pursuing his goals and ambitions without letting others get in his way. We saw him temporarily pursue Hunger until it made him terribly ill. I'm not on the inside, but I don't see this at all as fake. I would expect to see him again, but in his own time. Just because he...

    Tired of Magicians Taking No Action

    My point exactly. If you have an idea Magi, please enlighten us. If not, you are being as great of a hypocrite as has ever been on these forums. For starters, if you actually have some valuable input, why is magic dying in your opinion? Maybe by answering a question like this you might...
