    Quick Cardistry/Flourishing Purchase Question

    Buy some Wynns if you want, but save them. If you are brand new, later on you will be dissapointed you wasted such great decks. PRactice with Bikes or Tally-Ho's and save the nice cards for when you don't kill a deck in a few days by dropping them everywhere. Just some friendly advice, do as you...

    I lost my deck of cards...

    Buy a brick from 808cards.com. It's $29.99 USD including postage, works out to around $2.50 USD a deck, or around $3 AUD. They arrive in around a week if not less.

    Help: I have a chunky LePaul spread!

    Takes time to work out the timing, you need to move your left thumb down at the perfect time not to interrupt the flow but to grab the cards to support them, it's tricky, but once you get it, it's like riding a bike.

    Who on earth would WANT to be a Magician?

    I kind of agree with Derren Brown that there is generally a correlation between people that choose to do magic and people that feel that there isn't really anything special about them. Everyone looks for something to be good at, and magic is not only something that you can impress people with...

    I lost my deck of cards...

    Bicycles are only $2.50 for me, and I live in Australia and have to pay shipping, losing a deck of those is nothing :P Heck even Wynn's are only $3.50, Brown ones are more like $7, but regardless, a pack of cards is nothing really :P iPhone on the other hand, is like $600 :P

    Help: I have a chunky LePaul spread!

    I'm not a big fan of powder, I find that if you leave a deck of bicycles horizontal in a cool place, even the most disgusting sticky bent deck will come out looking old but rather managable. They get disgusting again quickly, that's why I have lots of dead decks :P

    Wynn's Today

    I've got 84 Red and Blue Wynns en route, if I like them I might get another 144 from Kardwell. The extra $100 is realy painful since it's $109 for shipping to Australia anway, but they are still the cheapest place around. 350 is nuts though, that's like 12 years worth of cards. I just really...

    Wynn Decks Review and Comparison

    No one is actually buying them at that price though, most go for less than $20 like this I've been watching them for over two weeks to see if it's worth selling mine and haven't seen more than a couple go for over $20.

    Wynn Deck Release Time Unfair?

    No matter when they release it, it will be unfair for someone. I'm lucky though, it's like 3pm here :P

    Help: I have a chunky LePaul spread!

    More practice = More even, don't ask me why, but the more times you do it, the better it gets. Try practicing with an old deck of Bicycles you haven't used in a while, they are generally soft because they are thouroughly broken in but not all sticky because they've been left alone a while. Plus...

    Brown Wynns not good for XCM?

    I love LePaul Spreads, one downside to Wynn's is they are so stiff I'm still building the hand strength to do it smoothly with them. Can't do Under Pressure either, damn thier thickness :P I tried going back to Bicycles, but they just seem so squishy in comparison.

    I guess he wants Brown ones.

    Wynn Decks Review and Comparison

    I'm kinda worried with how purple the Blue Wynns are, are they a nice purple, or are they a really embarassing kind of purple?

    Wynn Decks : Next Release Window

    I'd probably buy more if the Red and Blue hadn't become available. With every release their value decreases, so even buying them to resell is useless :P At the moment there is only like 3 of them on eBay, watch 3 days from now the place will be full again :P

    Red & Blue Wynn's Everywhere

    On New Years I saw a few go for $5-$5.50, I'm assuming cause most people were out partying instead of sniping auctions :P

    Red & Blue Wynn's Everywhere

    I have hardly seen any Brown Wynns sell for $30 let alone more on eBay, I have been watching. Most go for around $15-$17, though you get the occasional $20+ one. They might have sold for $30 at one time, but no time recently. I even saw a couple go for less than $10.
