Not too sure what you meant by that. In fact, if you take a deck of tigers (with the jokers) out of a well fit card clip and try to replace it with a deck of Centurions or Guardians, chances are you'll experience a bit of difficulty making it fit. I still have to take out the jokers to make...

Not exactly sure. But I know of at least one variation. I would look into the Hamman count! JP;)

I would like to share with everyone here something which has proved extremely useful to me in these situations. i.e.- when someone asks where YOU learned magic from. First of all, in most cases they are merely being patronizing, and the question is completely rhetorical! But hey, just in...

Money doesn't grow on trees! Hey Gambit! I completely understand the concern you have with Prophet, but it is completely safe to use hundred dollar bills if you want. YES, you can spend them later on... but when you realize the reactions that this effect gets you probably won't want to. It...

YES, the Magic Makers Gaff deck really is impressive for the value. Not to mention it is perfect for those card workers who like to stick with the common bikes. The "Skinners's Monte" packets alone will make people go absolutely crazy and are worth picking up this deck!

FISM & CAA in Beijing I guess I wasn't aware of the conflict of interests between the artist and hosts of this years' FISM. Upon doing some research, however, I am still a bit confused. The CAA you mention... Is this the China Acrobat Association or is it Creative Artist Agency? Then again...

What is this in reference to? Is there a place where I can learn about the phenomenon in question? Curious now.

Uh-Oh. Damn. Sorry, didn't know about the Stackview site, and wastrying to PM earlier. haha. Thank you Benjamind.

Here's an idea I had ... Arrange the "spread" pattern of cards in a complete circle by name to easier see the symmetry of the stack (best done by simply writing the names of them down). Each quadrant of the circle will have thirteen cards. I hope this makes sense. By the way, did you get the...

Math & Stacks Do you have the program StackView? It might be helpful. There was a thread here before with a link you could use to get the free download of the program. It's fun to tinker with. I have simulated your stack by the method you suggested and am messing with it a bit. Check out...

OOh, yeah!! I like the oil & water idea. That used to be one of my favorites. Although with someone else shuffling, there's no guarantee of a "perfect" reshuffle on your part. (Have you ever had someone turn half the deck when they shuffle for example?!! Ouch! Talk about needing to leave...

The thing to consider here is how much use you are trying to get out of the cards before they are "sacrificed" for the sake of the burning, tearing, or folding effects. Some performers can take a deck or two to a show with the intention of getting every last bit of mileage from them before they...

Is lighting a matchstick enough? Without such blatant betrayal to the purpose of your introduction, you might follow a greeting and small bit of pleasant chat with the "lit match production" found in the Practical Encyclopedia of Magic, by Nicholas Einhorn. If this does happen to be the reason...

Bon Anniversaire!
