Ok, got it figured out. The gimmick has no 'give' so in advance you have to go commando (unbox), do a full Sharon Stone then close up to artificially create 'give' (which info is carefully worded such that I don't think it's overly, er, revealing). After that your basic instinct will guide you...

Has anyone used this deck? It comes without instructions, seems difficult to insert selected cards into it in such a way that the gimmick will be 'loaded' and ready to do its thing with the inserted cards; I cannot even get the deck to close after inserting them. They insert only halfway. I have...

This can be done with just four decks: a one-way force to get the faces; use their original backs on two (e.g. red), split two backs off of two cards from e.g. a blue 808 already on hand; then buy only two decks, e.g. one black, one gold, and split a couple backs off (e.g. use the double backers...

Thanks again; you're always very helpful. :cool:

Cool, thanks as always!

Damn, no edit function again. The edit time limit is REALLY much too short. I decided as an afterthought to remove a bit of the info from the above posts, even though by not naming any trick names or deck names I figured the content was within what's allowed, but am not allowed the chance to. It...

I finally found Krylon Matte 1311, the only brand among the recommended ones that I have been able to locate in Taiwan. I'm making a set of 26 paired with 26, my first R&S DIY. (I realize it's more work, but think of how beautifully certain decks' effects would look when each choice produces a...

Awesome! The gears, the butterfly, the background around the tree... One starts to get the impression that Robert-Houdin himself would have liked these cards.

Thanks! Five minutes ago, I found they have what I think means 'extra matte'. It's another killer: Now I have to decide between 'Matt' and 'Very dumb'.

Ｈere in Taiwan I'm unable to buy the brands others suggest above, as aerosol paints don't ship well. I'm going to be trying a couple local brands, but just HAD to share a pic of this one with you. They have a range from satin (I think) and matte to semi-gloss and gloss [left to right] as far as...

I can finally put in my vote, now that I have now collected a number, and I’d like to bring to attention a top contender, one some might not have even heard of: Taiwan’s very own, superb quality Empire Keeper! (Keep reading, if interested.) I’ve collected Cohort Ghost, Bicycle Ultimate Marked...

Thanks, WitchDocIsIn; this (Bicycle Series 1800) is definitely the 3rd version, but after a magnified scan I suspect it is a photographed then reprinted Chinese rip-off copy, because (1) at high magnification there's photo-style pixellation rather than clean printing, and (2) this is beyond a...

Sure, and a hundred bucks -- ouch!!!

On another forum I've seen complaints about the old Ellusionist 1800 deck markings, which were FAR too hard to read even if you knew what to look for, and comments that they later replaced them with more readable ones in a different location. I’m being intentionally vague so as not to reveal...

Thanks, I'll check those out!

I got the Neo roughing stick and am wondering whether perhaps I received an old, dried out stick or whether this is what it's really supposed to be like. It is hard as a rock (well, much harder than any candle and as hard or harder than hard-milled soap). It takes great force to get any to apply...

Excellent help as always, thanks! Does anyone else have any favorite videos to recommend that teach basic to low intermediate material which would be hard to learn just from printed materials? Purchasable ones is fine; I've decided to budget for it. I

Hi, I'm in my 2nd month of magic as a hobbyist and having a real blast learning it with my sons. We've already bought some good books (Fulves, Scarne, Wilson, Hugard, and Card College Light, Lighter, Lightest) and are devouring them. I've also bought and am greatly benefiting from Blake Vogt's...
