Sex Sells Yo: This is a flourish that looks somewhat like shooting a YoYo up in the air and catching it as it comes back down(Chinese yo-yo) For a card visual, imagine a one handed, upside down spring flourish. Method and teaching: This is a knacky move. Admittedly I have not spent much...

Lee Asher Six for $50.00 Booklet deal. Price $50.00 Available here: Lee Asher | my store | books & manuals | Le Asher | Special Booklet Offer Admittedly I’m a big Lee Asher fan. (Anyone who has purchased from his site will likely know why) With that in mind I will still try to give an...

I wish...for my own sake...I could answer that. I only had the opportunity to get the second editions. That said my educated guess is that they are simply a second printing that was made due to the popularity of the first. So if the look and handling characteristics are all you are after the 2nd...

You guys who are liking losing control should check out his Pulp Friction booklet. It uses a similar core principle for a bottom card control.

Erdnase Deck (final update) Well bummer. A bit more humidity just rolled in and put these guys to bed. Fortunately I was able to make it to the 9th hour of practice in the second week and I feel I was able to get a pretty good sense of the longevity of this deck. Without the humidity I don't...

Bee Erdnase Edition 1 Week Update Overall thoughts: As I suspected this stock and finish performs much better in drier climate. I was just shy of tossing the Stingers into the street after a week of rain but these have held their own quite nicely. Handling: There was a sleight...

Handling: Pretty much what follows is a cut and paste from the Stinger review as I couldn’t really tell the difference between the two in the OOB performance. Overall great fans and dribble but a little sketchy on the sleights. Fanning: 10 Okay I have done my best to avoid handing out 10s...

Bee 2nd Edition Erdnase Playing Cards Here is the video suppliment for the Erdnase review. Not much for performance actually. This time I cover some thoughts on the ACR and I teach a move out of Erdnase. These are kind of becomming my card vlog :D Might be of interest to some of you...

Anglo Poker Edition : 1 Week Update What is the difference between and Anglo Rug and an Anglo Poker edition? Anglo Poker Edition Video Suppliment on Vimeo Much like it's older brother, the Anglo Rug Back, this card fanning is the first to go on this deck. What you sacrifice in the fan is...

Smoke&Mirrors v.4(final update) Bummer they died about mid way through the 3rd week. I was thinking for a while that they might make it to the end of three weeks but then we got a spate of humid weather and that did them in. Important note for those in humid climates…these react more to...

David Penn's 21st Century Toppit can be used with the same kind of shirt as a TKO. I have had a lot of success with it. It is quite a bit cheaper than TKO but the installation is a bit more "Labor Intensive". One way or the other it is pretty handy walking around with a toppit on at all times...

Smoke&Mirrors v.4(2 Week Update) Well I am about to break my own rule yet again. (as I did with the Anglo) I usually terminate a review once one or more of the categories drops to a five or below. The v.4s have softened up a tad, bringing them dangerously close to a 5, and the crimp hold and...

Here is a vid I shot for the v.4 review. http://www.vimeo.com/11777763 **warning** includes some foul language. Sorry it just slipped out:eek:

Anglo Poker Edition Decks (AKA Standard index Decks) Where to buy: $6.00 / deck (price varies depending on exchange rate) http://www.el-duco.se/start.asp?languag ... +the+World Also here: http://www.gycklaren.com/ And here: http://www.bmpokerworld.com/ Information about my reviewing...

No problem. The folks at El Duco/Gycklaren were real easy to work with. I had trouble getting my card to work(I guess Visa Europe has some new security features that a lot of North American cards are not up to speed with) but I wrote them and they were able to arrainge to have me pay via paypal...

Just noticed this and thought it needed a direct response. I mentioned this in my template under methodology but it is easy to miss.... One of the weaknesses in my methodology is the single card glide. I think giving it a rating is important, so that is why I do it, but I also think that this...
