A while ago, I created a free guide to help you keep your cards in top condition. While it's primarily written for 605 owners, the majority of the info applies to other decks as well.

Lee, if I recall, they can access for more than just CTD on Ask Alexander - there's a number of magazine/newsletter titles they can access at the 52+J level!
Yes, you can access the Chicago Playing Card Collector's Club newsletters as well as the International Playing Card Society's Newsletters. Plus, the CARC throws in some magic texts for 30 days. It's pretty sweet!

By the way, if you're a 52 Plus Joker member who did not attend this convention, you'll get the opportunity to purchase the Club deck after the convention finishes. Please stay tuned.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Can anyone tell me about these stamps?
« on: September 08, 2014, 08:21:49 AM »While I've never seen the stamp before, I do know that this back design has been counterfeited by other printers. I've seen it selling at a local "dollar store" for 99ยข.
I can assure you these are not counterfeits.
So if no one has ever seen this seal before? ... then we have a bonafide mystery!

« on: September 07, 2014, 12:29:26 PM »
Hey everyone,
A few weeks ago, I picked up two decks that had this seal (see below). I'd never see it before, and couldn't find any information about it. Have you seen it before?
Photo 1
Photo 2
While the deck pictured has no cello, the other one does. We can deduce from the seal being under the cello, that it was applied at the factory. If anyone could shed some light on this seal, that would be great.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Asher
ps. My best guess is that these seals were from some special event held at USPC, but I could be wrong!

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / Re: My Current Work On Thunderbird
« on: September 03, 2014, 10:17:08 AM »Hello everyone,
I've got Lee Asher's super incredible Thunderbird PDF, and I thought I'd share my current progress on it. Mastering my right hand angles have been tricky, but I'd love your feedback on how I can improve it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzxbKowULQI&feature=youtu.be
Cheers,
@WildWildCat - Great! It's clear your hard work & efforts are paying off.
The only suggestions I have are:
- Start performing for groups of people, instead of the camera. It helps you learn real-world angles.
- Slow down, and milk each ace so you get the most out of the routine.The slower, the better.
- What's said when performing this routine? Maybe start thinking about your patter/ script?
Hope that helps. Again, good work. You've made my day!
Lee
ps. I love that you don't move your fourth finger on the final production! Perfect!

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / Origins Gaff Card
« on: April 24, 2014, 10:17:06 AM »
Hey everybody,
For those of you who funded or purchased Origins cards recently know that they come with a special gaff card. With a little creative thinking, you should be able to discover some very interesting ways to use it.
Imagine taking the King of Spades and making it vanish from the deck, only to have it magically travel across the room, through a stack of cards into the Origins tuckbox.
Sound cool? Want to learn it?
Take a moment & download the Origins Gaff Instructions PDF for free - right now.
Enjoy!

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Phil Ivy being sued for "cheating" w/ defective cards
« on: April 16, 2014, 05:08:11 PM »...(Flip them a certain way, we'll come back but only if you use the exact same decks, and don't shuffle them overnight, et cetera) and they didn't think that something was up. It's an odd case.
It's not uncommon for high-rollers to request different terms than what regular players abide by. When you have a big bank roll - anything goes! In the end, it's the casino prerogative to abide.
I'm no lawyer, but I believe the real question we should be asking is ... Did the dealer knowingly collude with Mr. Ivey? Taking advantage of the house due to a flaw is one thing, but colluding with an employee is another.
