Design & Development / Re: The Slick Deck (...again)- WIP custom deck 2

I see blue prints also when I look it.  I like the art, I like the name slicks also but it doesn't match the deck, it's confusing and turns me off as a consumer.

Sounds good to me.  I actually live in Mansfield.  Talking shop is always a good time. Also I'm not sure if you subscribe to Jamie grant on YouTube but he posted a video today, first in a long time. It's a pod cast... It's freaking awesome.

Introduce Yourself / Hi!

Hey all! My name is Joey I live in Dallas tx. I'll start by saying how awesome it is to meet such a large group of like minded people.  I started my love of cards with the love of magic. I'm 33yo and when I was 9 or 10 like a lot of young kids I recieved my first magic kit with assorted tricks.  I used that trick to win the talent show that year at my elementary school (the kicker was pouring liquid in a newspaper then tossing it on the spectators and confetti gets them instead of the liquid). Once my dad saw how intested I was he got me the linking rings. I didn't practice much magic after that though, unfortunately I didn't have any guidance and no clue all of the greatest secrets to magic were in a BOOK! So if your reading this and your curious on how <magicians name> did it, you can find it in a book.  So about 7 months ago i started doing magic again and buying decks of cards and videos and every book I could afford and get my hands on. I'm a Dallas police officer and I work a lot of extra jobs to pay the bills.  One of those jobs is a hospital.  The shifts are 6 hours long and there's a desk which I can sit at which was perfect to practice at. One day I was working and a little boy came in with his mom and he wasn't feeling good (I work the er desk) and he was just having a crappy day by the look on his face. He saw me practicing a color change right at the end when the card changed (erdnase change). I looked up and saw that his eyes were full of how did you do that.  I asked him if he wanted to see another trick and he said sure. I did the jumping gimini and he was in aw! He asked me to show him how I did it. I said how about I show you an easy one that you can do right now. I showed him how to use a key card and he understood quickly. I then let him show me the trick and he was great. I was smiling so big that I was able to teach him and make his day a little better.  I decided to give him my deck so he could practice.  At the time it was my favorite I think it was a deck of DM rounders.  After that I decided what an opportunity to bring smiles with magic. The next shift I worked I walked around the hospital doing random tricks and giving away a deck a cards to the kid and showing him a basic card trick. Long story short giving free decks of cards and books to kids isn't cheap and I don't get todo it as much as I would like to. If you have made it this far in reading my intro and have a bunch of used decks laying around I would love to take them off your hands. I also just started a gofundme if you want to donate a couple bucks so I can buy them. Thanks for reading. I'm sure there's a ton of grammatical and spelling errors and I'm sorry.  Here's the link if your interested. https://www.gofundme.com/gs4uy8kz?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=campaign_link_t&utm_campaign=welcome
