I think I did something like this once. Then I returned to lurking forever.
So I'm Stephanie and I operate from southern California. I started as a cardist when I was in high school and evolved to parlor tricks along the way. I stopped for a while for various reasons and then when I took it up again in college, I proceeded to sprain both my thumbs consecutively (huehuehue). Magic's always been in the back of my mind ever since I started though, so I decided to try for it again now that my academic workload seems like it's not trying to kill me. I'm trying to be a magician with some cardistry skills and I have a fondness for collecting playing cards and other paraphernalia of the vices.
I found this place while I was hunting for information on some decks and found that not only do card collectors have their own little hole, this place has an entire category dedicated to designing decks which I am totally going to stalk. I also wanted to see the pictures in the threads. They're very nice pictures.
Did I cover everything?
