Hello everyone.

My name is Mitchell Obatake.

I am an advertising Creative Director in Los Angeles. (I write ads like Darren Stevens did in Bewitched, but without the benefit of a magic wife.)

I am also a member of the Academy of Magical Arts at the World Famous Magic Castle.

I love card decks of all kinds. My passion started when I was 7 years old playing Hanafuda with my grandmother in Hawaii. 

After two years and a lot of help from Jason England and Jack Carpenter videos, I have a passable bottom deal.

I just read part one of the Hochman encyclopedia digital edition (technology is awesome).

I love gambling demonstrations, card-cheating stories and I think that there's nothing more beautiful than intricately detailed late-1800 to early-1900 Dougherty and USPC aces.

Thanks for reading and I look forward meeting more of you in this forum.

Hello Mitchell welcome to the forum! Look forward to seeing your opinions as you join the conversation.  :)
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)
