I was watching Revelations 35. Daniel Madison announced Revelations would end @ 52. 52 cards in a standard deck, 52 weeks in a year. Is Madison ending a 1 year contract with Ellusionist? Madison has been endorsing many company products as of late. Just helping friends or looking to sell his services for another company in the future? What's next for Daniel Madison?

It's entirely possible that he'll continue his association with Ellusionist for a while longer at the least - never hurts to have a company that's interested in producing and selling your products.  Many artists enjoy such connections with a particular company.  If he's making money, why wouldn't he?  Unless he really had some kind of personality conflict or was getting the raw end of the deal, there's no strong incentive for him to leave other than wanting a change of pace.

Your most likely correct. I'd like to see Madison stay with Ellusionist. Madison and McKinnon make a great team.

Well, he's jumped from Theory 11 to Ellusionist, drawing attention wherever he chose to work for. One can only hope he doesn't move to the Blue Crown next

What did he do with T11 aside from create a marked deck?  Did T11 produce any of his videos?

And there's nothing wrong with the Blue Crown!  I know the guys there, been to the Batcave, etc.

TBC's Batcave... Do they let you play with the utility belts or only let you look?

Nothing against TBC, I just don't see that happening.

Yeah Madison definitely has something good going for him at Ellusionist and will doubtfully go to any other company. I reckon he's tired of making weekly videos or running out of content. That or 52 "makes sense" as a place to stop before he gets to Revelations 378.

I wondered if Madison would get tired or bored myself. Madison has given some good material away on YouTube. The Blood PDF was priceless.

How do you think Madison's Revelations will be remembered after 52? I think it becomes a great jumping point for Madison to do his own weekly video blog.

Is Revelations name Dai Vernon inspired?

They slip me a bat-a-rang or a bat-grappling hook with bat-cord and bat-winch every now and then...

Michael, I think he'd just do something different.

Anon, how do you give away a PDF on YouTube?  :))

I believe that yes, the name "Revelations" was inspired by the Dai Vernon book and video series.  The videos were called "Revelations" as was the original printing of the book, but "Revelation" was the later, more comprehensive printing of the book.  It's an awesome tome, just so much material in it.

Somehow I didn't catch the possible reference of "Revelations" to come from Dai Vernon. :P

Lets hope the next five months or so left of Revelations reveal some (more) pretty cool stuff!

He gave the link to the PDF from his website in one of the Revelations. I believe link was also in the description of the video.

...you left out the part where I dropped a smiley in there, to indicate I was pulling your leg.  Do you want it back now?  :))
