I have seen them in larger quantities, that was the first one I have come across.
I have never disagreed with Jon Raiker about them being rarer than Red or Blue Wynns, I was simply saying that T11 is not the only source of them.
The link above was to prove that they are available, as some...
You are correct, those are not the ones sold by T11 I didn't actually check those very closely.
I believe these are the real Wynns http://cgi.ebay.com/13-Bee-Wynn-Casino-Brown-Violet-Red-Playing-Cards-Sets_W0QQitemZ200217233516QQihZ010QQcategoryZ1438QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
I thought the previous reply would answer the question.

There are several Ebay dealers who sell Wynn's of all colours in significant...
I guess we have different opinions of what 'rare' means, I do not doubt you when you say Brown Wynn's are far rarer than the Red's and Blue's. However, there are sellers on Ebay selling Wynn's of all colours for equal prices in very large quantities, these have been consistently sold for quite...
I have to disagree with the Brown Wynns being rare, they are available in large quantities at exactly the same price as Blue and Red Wynns. It's very likely they will become rare at some point, possibly in the near future but they are currently easily obtained.
It doesn't really bother me as...
It is pure sleight of hand, although in my opinion it isn't one of the better examples of a haunted deck routine and is one of the weaker effects on the DVD.
It uses a lot of cover and is nowhere near as impressive as gimmicked haunted deck routines (or other impromptu ones).
If you bought...
I recently bought Simply Sydney by Syd Segal, i've been playing round with the effects on it. Here's my thoughts on it.
A Logical Lesson - You show the audience 2 Four of kinds, the 3's and the 7's.
You ask the audience what is 3+7, they say 10. You then deal out the cards and show that...
If i'm standing then Biddle trick, 2 Card monte, Ambitious Card (with Card to mouth) or 2 Card transposition if I have a duplicate.
If i'm at a table then I do Collectors, Thank you Lepaul, Hoffzy Osbourne, Reset or Triumph.

This was the first result when I googled mnemonica stack.
There's other equally useful links also on the first page of google.
I'm always surprised to hear about people saying 'i'll look it up on Youtube'. I've never had a single person mention Youtube, the thought of looking up a trick on Youtube doesn't seem to enter their mind at all.
How old was the guy you were performing for? Going home and looking up a trick...
Thats because the blue Split Spades deck comes in a mnemonica stack, it hasn't 'already been shuffled'.

I agree that you should not have repeated this.
When you start doing magic more and people hear about it they will keep asking to see tricks and may request the same effect over and over.
You must make it clear to them that you perform on your terms, not theirs.
Don't become their trained...
I agree that the Double lift needs work, it's looks a bit weird. I suggest looking into the Strike double lift (my personal favourite) or the Push off double lift.
Having the cards signed adds very little to this effect, it's powerful enough as it is. They've just seen the card in your hand...
I've seen Lee Asher do a couple of very flashy cuts, not advanced flourising but not basic either.
The One handed revolution is not something you should expect to do immediately, it takes a while for your fingers to get used to stretching to the position needed to do the cut.
You have a good point here, magic can be perceived as nerdy/geeky, I guess this varies depending on where you live. I think it's our job to show the audience it doesn't have to be like this.
When I perform i'm not cocky but I wouldn't make a joke out of me being a magician either. I try and...
I don't often use Guardians or Distortion but it makes sense to have a Guardian Distortion gimmick. I always thought it was weird that you couldn't do T11 effects with a T11 deck.
