There is plenty of reasons but the main reason being for me is that I learnt my card work from different sources e.g expert at the card table, royal road among a few others but the point is that it would be a valuble resource dvd to go back to, also it gives you the moves from a different persons angle/perspective (we are not all robots people explain it differently with different subleties and so on) Also that's what makes cardmen an expert by studying different sources of the same move to adapt and apply the different subtletys explained by different people to make the move truly your own as oppossed to if you only study one persons work you only have there view on the subject/sleight or whatever it may be. Another reason for me is I don't have any of OZ work and I missed is lecture last year due to being away and would really like to see his work, so I think that is more than enough reason for any beginer, skilled hobbyist or expert card handler to enter.

However, i shall enter, so i may snap the disc and hear the cry of an amateur echo throughout the universe.

I'll have whatever card the next person gives me. Thank you.


Nice gift replicant,however i am not into cards so think it wrong to enter just for the sake of it. So i choose 9 Diamonds for Duplicity :wink:

The cards seem to be running out pretty quickly...

The 7 of Clubs is still there though and (as this is what I'm going to choose) it's an obvious winner!
