Lennart Green is awesome. Some love him for his incredible technique, but in my mind he´s is hilarious and one of the funniest performer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_oa8m5Oq00 at 30:08 Queen with misdirection. I can´t stop laughing :D

I´ve heard that the new Mandolin cards are also traditionally cut. Hopefully they will not be in the same price range than the RT decks. But I doubt it.

@Manny I just want to make clear (my english sucks sorry) that I didn´t disagree with you. That was just an universal statement and not connected to your essay ;) Sorry if that was your impression. Regarding ACR. I think there´s no better routine to learn improvisation, which is called...

The most powerful impromptu routines for me are the ones that make use of a memorized stack. It´s like a gimmick without a gimmick ;) You can open a brand new (borrowed) deck and go right into memorized stack order. And at the end of your routines/effects/presentation, you´re left with a...
