A design thought - make it so you can simply drop in a traditional 12"x18" pad, then when it wears out or gets ruined, you replace it with an off-the-shelf model. Even better, if you can get a good magician's kit bag with pockets, one of which would be large enough to hold your pad, that would be stellar. Could be as simple as a nice messenger bag or a haversack (it's a shoulder bag that's sized between a map case and a large purse, usually oriented to be taller rather than wider).I'm not quite sure what you mean with the bag stuff, sounds interesting and all, but if you could clarify...Its a tv tray with felt on the inside.With all respect, not even close. But yes, I'm sure I could go lower, I haven't checked the prices on wood and all that yet
EDIT: I almost forgot, what do you guys feel is a good size for a pad like that? I don't perform magic, so I wouldn't really know...
Umm I kinda like the wallet thing. Am I the only one? Also if they make these new fultons in ivory I'd get a few.
EDIT: scratch that just saw the 150 price tag on that.
If there's one thing I've learned about the playing card business and community, it's that if someone tells you to keep a secret, you KEEP THE SECRET. Once you become known as the guy who can't keep a secret, you also become the guy no one trusts with secrets anymore... Hell, I'm sittin' on a doozy right now!
But I was a bit disappointed with how the last decks handled. The design was marvelous...but the deck clumped in my hands. I have OCD so I wash my hands all the time...and I don't think it's my sweat because my other decks don't clump. Might be the finish or ink used...
Come to think about it, the only decks that have clumped for me are the ones produced since the USPCC moved to Kentucky. Hmmmmmm...
Yours could be an isolated case - it happens. USPC did have a period of about a year and a half running from late 2009 through 2010 where the decks were coming out a bit rough. We refer to it these days as the shakedown period. It was a matter of the print staff getting the kinks out of the new machines at the newly-opened Erlanger, KY plant. Nowadays, their quality on all but off-the-shelf Rider Backs is noticeably higher than the last of the Cincinnati, OH plant's output. Combine that with Magic Finish and the new decks rarely have issues.
I thought the virts was nice but could not afford it at the time. Now I am not buying any new decks, broke it for the sherlock holmes decks, I mean pass on that guys art - no way.
I've done alright actually. I've done around 8 spins I think.
Only elite points but they have been okay.
Couple of 500's here and there
Some 250's
few 50 pointers.
1 no reward.
That's it really...
I've seen some guys on Instagram get White Monarchs and the actual grand prize. Couldn't believe it.
So far me :
50 pts / 100 pts / 50 pts
Friend 1 - no reward / 50 pts
Friend 2 - 1 000 pts / no reward
Friend 3 - 50 pts / 50 pts
I assume there is no way more than 1 person to log in into 1 account , so 1 acc to have 4-5 dif ip for 4-5 spin/day? :/
What about 1 person changing his ip and creating multi acc... yeah i know answer... probably should not..
I want to see people with friends in skype on video calls and everybody watching and commenting and cursing/laughing then upload to youtube and then someone to make compilation lool should be funny
I've been waiting for someone to finally do this... and it looks like it's going to be Bill Collins (Bicycle Voyager)
All 3 at once... Bicycle, Bee, Tally-Ho...
I do wish the tucks had more color to them
and I think this may be one of the backs...

WOW their minimum pledge goal will have to be astronomical. Buyer Beware.
SECOND GUESS: Dec 28th
I all honesty I kinda do mind, because if he sells the quicksilver to make money to ship them he is selling whats he is suppose to ship. I really hope it would work out or he would atleast state thats what he is doing.
I don't know if this helps the anger at all John, but the Quicksilver deck that he is selling on his website are not quite the kickstarter version. Or at least that's what I've been hearing. If memory serves me right, I think only the kickstarter version got the foil on the tuck,
I will say I don't know Russell personally. Never met or even spoke to the guy. He's made a lot of mistakes, but I was one of the lucky backers who got their decks and dice soon after he received them so I don't have the same frustrations toward him that others (rightfully) do. His lack of money management/business skills hurt him and yeah his lack of communication and lack of transparency on this project has been ridiculous and quite insulting. But admitting he needed to have a sale to get shipping money? I can get behind that. It's honest and hopefully its a small step in the right direction. All would not be forgiven, but hopefully he can take that money, finish his shipping quickly and everyone can move on.
BTW, I grabbed a brick of Hornets during his fire sale and like Don, I have no idea why these haven't sold out yet - great cards. I'm hoping/expecting that money I sent him goes straight toward paying for backer shipping.
I'm crossing my finger's and wishing that first and foremost, every backer gets what they pledged for. Also wishing Russell finds a way back into the good graces of playing card collectors. It won't be easy, but he designs very nice decks and I think he'd be a big asset to the community if he could get it together.
My second spin was 100 Elite Points. Now I'm wondering HOW or IF those points being WON are actually being added to my total. I'm also going to keep track of my total Elite Points each day I spin, just in-case there's a glitch (wink wink). This is too good to be true.
12/6 - 50 Elite Points
12/7 - 100 Elite Points (2367) 6,103 / 10k Lifetime Points
