Tip of the day from Ollie Mealing (& I stole his pic off FB; sorry Ollie: please forgive!)

Use the Advertising (etc) cards for a quick Mercury card fold practice session.

Vintage

Best cards of all time?

Pretty much any version of the Bike's vintage reprints. Ex:
playingcards.wikidot.com/bicycle:vintage-design

(*Open thanks to Zach Lambert for turning me onto these wonderful cards)

I'll prolly stick to regular ole red backed bikes (cause they're always available & + I love/use N Pudar's marking system) but if I knew I could get these vintage packs forever (@2.99;) I'd use these bad boys.

Next time ya feel like buying a vanity deck, if ya haven't tried these... Do so (& if ya can; buy from Zach... He's a good guy)

*Honorable mention goes to the "House of Playing Cards" & their NOC decks. http://houseofplayingcards.com/playing-cards/noc-deck.html
Simple as pie design and they handle smooth as silk. Their "Crown" decks are also nice.

Aight, been a lil quiet lately (busy with the holidays... And lawyers...) Thought I'd take a few seconds and spend some time blabbering bout one of my all time fave things. And now thats done

2 cents spent,
Conn

N.O.W.

Nick Einhorns "Nest Of Wallets" looks to be a(nother) winner. If My Xmas wish list wasn't full, this is one I'd be adding to it:

From the card trick dept:
I just realized the "Growing Card" (an effect from the Paul Harris AOA DVD set) will work in conjunction with Don Englands Plastic Lady
This makes me very happy ;)

You can see the effect here:

Yo: shout out to the "Magic on The Side" guys (Eric & Suess @magicontheside (.com))
Their always awesome podcast lead me to the above link. So, big time thanks to everyone mentioned in this paragraph

Aight. Nuff for now, I gotta go practice ;)

Glance

Looks like "Vanishing Inc" hits another home run w/ "Glance"

http://www.vanishingincmagic.com/magic/mentalism/glance/

(Wow, and just I'd found the mother load with Nathan Kranzo's new release of Grants "True Test")

Wondering; Do I have someone I haven't asked for an Xmas gift?
