    How much will you be selling your Smoke and Mirrors?

    The Wynn decks still haven't topped $50 and those were a while back...2 years I think? S&M v.5 have just hit the secondary market and I think the standard markup at this time is $2.00. So v.5s are currently worth $7.50-$8.00. They will be worth $50.00 some day but that might be anywhere from...

    Deck of the Decade

    I liked the idea of the deck of the year and realized that we are also coming to the end of the decade. I think the decade has seen a revolution in experimenting with deck designs, stocks, and finishes. We have also seen decks that were produced to cater specifically to collectors and the new...

    Creating a magic routine

    I feel your pain. I to am a card magician at heart but over the years I have branched out to add variety to my routines. Here is what I would suggest for walkaround/close up guys....at least this is what I did. Think about what you have on you at all times, pens, keys, coins, rings....stuff like...

    Smoke & Mirrors Sold Out! Are they getting reprinted?

    And sales on the secondary market has just begun! You can still get v.5s at Brooke Michaels poker world but they have already jumped $2.00. http://www.shop.bmpokerworld.com/product.sc?productId=585&categoryId=26 Good luck to those that missed the first rush.

    My Ambitious Card Routine

    I would recommend working on a no shuffle, no cut ACR for starters. It will force you to trim down your moves. Once you get a 3-5 phase, no shuffle, ACR, then you can start getting creative. Add some shuffle and cut work, play around with new moves, play around with your patter. What you have...

    Studying Erdnase

    Most people hit RRTCM pretty early off, if not their first book, thus they should go through it step by step. If you are one of those rare birds that is starting off with Erdnase, then go through chapter by chapter, move by move, attaining at least a rudimentary understanding of a move before...

    Topit

    I never read the Cafe....even more political than most forums IMO...but Ammar's toppit is likely the best evolution of the toppit to date. I'm still waiting for him to rerelease his topiting DVD because he certainly is the athority on them. Off the top of my head, design wise, there is one key...

    Topit

    It will last as long as a shirt will. If you decide to go with it let me know. I have a companion booklet I wrote that discusses converting it for use with a button up shirt. Be happy to pass it on if your interested.

    Topit

    I'll second that. Also He teaches some really killer routines on the DVD. Infact, most of the effects from his lecture DVD are on the Toppiting DVD. Search for "21st Century Toppit" and you should find a few sellers.

    Value of rare decks?

    I'd like to add a new question to this thread if I can... Many of the 1st edition T-11 and E decks fetch a high price but how can you tell which one is a first edition? For instance, one that I know about is the original Black Tigers from E. They were printed on standard 808 stock and said...

    Texan '45 Palmetto Back Deck Review

    I had thought about mentioning the Busby book but it slipped my mind during the write-up. Thanks for that. Also, I know that they are still making a Texan '45 but it is not the Palmetto back. They may still make a Palmetto if the need arises but many online sellers are claiming that it is out of...

    Bulldog Squeezers Deck Review

    **special note: Faro Shuffles: I rarely include more than a passing mention to faro shuffles in my reviews. Partially because it is a technique that I have only been using a lot over the last year and thus am by no means a real expert, and partly because I usually find that cards that rate high...

    Carta-Mundi: Casino Deck

    Carta-Mundi Casino Deck (Final Update)Well the fan finally got about as bad as what I experienced with Anglo rugs though the CM lasted about a week and a half longer before this happened. The spring finally softened up to where I could practice some bottom deals but by then the shuffles were...
