lol. First you give terrible advice. Then you mention learning from YouTube (i.e. exposure). Add finally, you recommend something you don't even have?! That's terrible! J.T. - Congrats on taking the first step into magic. Royal Road is perhaps the best, or one of, starting places for card magic...

The deadline hasn't been reached...

It's highly unlikely (read: almost certainly not going to happen) that T11 will sell the Wynns again here. Sorry.

Conclusion from this thread: most "magicians" here don't perform except to their webcam.

That is indeed, to the best of our knowledge, the case.

Silver - YES, that's exactly it! Thanks for that, nice thoughts! :) Bottom line: A deck can complement your magic. Anything that complements your magic reinforces your image and believability, with the ultimate result of a stronger effect, ideally.

Actually, I have a theory regarding this. I have a history of disagreeing, like you, with the whole suspicion thing, since I have never found it a problem myself using custom decks, but I've recently thought of something else which is very closely related to this topic, and which provides a...

You needed a poll to prove that? :P Check out the picking up girls thread over in the general forum. Absolutely hilarious stuff.

See what I mean? This thread is hilarious!

Sure. I manipulate business cards a lot out of habit. Also coins. Count coins on your hand to a cashier in front of them, drop them in his/her hand, and retain a high value coin, they don't notice. (I'm kidding)

lol! Touché. By the way guys, check this out, from a jam video I took part in more than a year ago. Just to make sure: This is NOT a submission. It is NOT a real effect (obviously). I'm only posting this for laughs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QisBn9SBszc From 2:55 onwards. "Is it...

Brilliant advice. Looks at performing in the long run. Rather than continually trying to engage in the short run. I also have a hard time believing that he can ruin every single one of your tricks. No offense intended here, but it might be time to practice some more so he can't figure anything...

Magic history? Try Jim Steinmeyer books. Hiding the Elephant. Art and Artifice. The Magic of Alan Wakeling. The Glorious Deception.

Yeah, you know what, I've given up on very many people understanding this thread. Anyone who's basically listed their favourite deck, like above, has missed the point entirely. Draven's post in the middle of this thread was probably the most concise summing up of the thread.

lol Danny! This thread is hilarious. Makes me laugh everytime. Cheers guys.

Amen to that. Only so much the missus will take :P

lol, I was wondering about the formatting. That's cool - yeah, I see some people have definitely missed the point. At well.

Definitely. That's exactly what a deck should be. I apologise if this was the message that came out. Let me clarify something here: This is not to say that a deck should be a substitute for anything. No amount of thinking about choice of deck will be a substitute for presentation. There are...

No-one is dumb enough to employ me in a real job.

Nicolas, whilst I'm not aware of any place you can get market statistics, it probably wouldn't hurt to PM the staff for help. But I will say that you've probably missed a few online shops. There are still a couple of big ones out there...
