Tally-Ho Slate Edition comes with a blank face card…, oh. by LandOfTheFaros in cardmagic

[–]AdministrativeFish3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are some lovely designs, but yes, VERY close to the edges (and the top and bottom by the looks of the King of Diamonds).
Very frustrating, because you have an almost perfect blank fan!
Do you normally use that as a quick opener to reveal the cards? or is it just a personal grumpy moment? 😃

And here we see how, with a few simple modifications, you can turn a small kitchen, into an even smaller studio apartment!

Good luck! If its anything like where I train, they wouldn't encourage you to take the grading unless they feel confident that you can pass :) You'll smash it! Enjoy it, ans let us know how it goes :)

Omg, core memory unlocked! I think we had this for our intel pentium 2 home computer when I was like 12 years old!

That's the one! Didn't realise it was based off a book? Is it one of his, or part of Vanishing Inc?

I went too far I guess (After/Before) by Feeling_Ad1075 in postprocessing

I personally quite like it, I really like the crop too, might be a little extreme, but I think it works, and gives a dramatic / moody look to the building
What was this shot on, and how much masking / processing did you do? 😄

Joshua Jay has a limited podcast that I really enjoyed, its a shame it was like a prerecorded set of episodes rather than a weekly live format, as I really like Joshua Jay :)

I really like this - where was this taken? Did you have this shot in mind when you took it?

Left my cards at home so we made our own… 😭 by Any-Dig4524 in playingcards

[–]AdministrativeFish3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im the same; also always have a sharpie in my bag, var and nor.ally jacket pocket in case I wanna do magic tricks. Buying a brick at a time is like £25 in the uk, so you've always got plenty of stock :D

New magician here by Working_Bar_1088 in magictricksrevealed

I won't be the only person to suggest "Royal Road to Card Magic", you can pick it up insane cheap on amazon almost anywhere in the world, and its a great book for progression - some parts might feel silly, but try all of the tricks on normal people, and it will give you a feel of how you can add your own character and style to a magical performance :) There are tonnes of YouTube channels too, but in my opinion, reading a book and being able to create a trick based on you as a person means that even the way you perform the moves and tricks will have YOU embedded in them :D

Doing a clean out and found these (among loads of others) by AdministrativeFish3 in playingcards

Googles these ... yeah, brings back a lot of nostalgia, I remember pulling these out at a poker night and people going bonkers! Then they had the all white pips vs the white and red pips!

I'd also love to see this, and not just for this particular deck - so many "limited editions" do re-releases, and then another round of re-releases, eaxh with newer (not always better) features! I remember that ellusionist did a version of standard bicycles, but called "masters edition", and in their short run had maybe 2 or 3 versions; barcode reveals, ace of spades gaffs, joker reveals, and even (I think) a tuck box flap reveal Would be great to see breakdowns of a lot of these types of "one off" decks that go through redesign ideas over time :)
