i think this deserves to be in the real electronic media section surely?

i was lucky/jammy/hairy enough to get simon's original homemade versions of this..and i used to use it alot for a quite a while...

well done simon for finally releasing your cinematic goodness all over our hands simon...

and hey! a quote from osterlind is a surefire way of knowing if something is workable and useable in my opinion...

Hi everyone


I picked this up last week, i think this is fantastic i have used it at a couple of my events now and it really goes down very well.

I have also taken the time to learn the year the movies were made as all he cards have the dates on, and which wasn't as difficult as i thought, this was worth doing as it def adds a bit more to the performance.

Gets 10/10 from me.

Top product Simon 10 out of 10 from me. The cards are beautiful and will last forever and I like the way they are nice and flismy yet so solid. You can also pull of a slip cut force with these card's due to nature of the card's aswell. Good work Simon.

I initially thought I might have problems with the memory bit - cos I'm a klutz - but I found that if I just turned the cards over one by one, read the titles out loud and went though the deck a few times in succession it eventually stayed in memory. I need to refresh from time to time using the same method and it works well - for me, anyway!
