If i have gone too far in self-promotion please delete MODS:

Kept the postage as low as i can for now. Orders £25.00 + are free. Orders under are £1.00 towards postage. Now as soon as i can get this website to upload (i have transferred the files but the new site has not shown up yet) i can get selling! Can i point out that the shop is indeed a "we". Anyone who orders may get an email from a "debbie". As i am away sometimes she will sort you all out. (no jokes flash :oops: )

Support needed. Just ordered my very first Tiger deck and a caj dack oh and some mixed fakes plus Sankey Gratest Hits DVD (3 disk set) and now I want a Viper and Ghost deck just to see them. Not that I need more decks, only got a brick of bicycles last month. :cry:

To our sister AJ82,

Your problem here is not the initial purchase of these decks in order to have a look at them; the real issue arises when you decide to compliment these decks with their respective Gaff Deck, Rising Deck, ID, Svengali Deck, Deck Shell, Porper Clip, and whatever else will be available on the market in the future (they’re are now talking about releasing Ghost and Black Tiger Card Guards :shock:). So before you know it, you will find yourself updating your stock with not just replacements and add-ons to a simple blue and red deck but to a countless array of other decks as well, and let’s not forget that these other decks are a little less gentle on our wallet (or purse in your case).

The CAJ deck is probably not as much of a problem as it will fit in with the decks you already own. You also might be aware that ellusionist.com are releasing a Red Bicycle Gaff deck but this won’t solve your problem either, as I have a sneaking suspicion that this deck will be made to suit the new upcoming Ellusionist designed Red Bicycle Deck.

So what I am saying is just beware! Buying newly designed decks can create one hell of a vicious circle for us CUPS sufferers, so choose your decks wisely! Also remember that any deck of cards can look superior if handled with skill and grace!

Thanks Costas. I understand what you are saying. Normally I just stick to blue and red but I thought I would have a look at Tigers. I try to stick to blue and red and always bicycle so my gaff decks don't look out of place. Although saying that the brick a got not so long ago was a mix of blue, red, black and green back. I am really looking forward to recieving my caj deck though.

Damn it all... there goes £65 to penguin magic!

Total CUPS but "uncontrolled" rather than "unnecessary" - and I think that's not bad for Sankey's 45 DVD, Killer Key, Ear Plugs, Revolutionary Coin Magic, Mercuring and Wenk's Misled!

When you're putting in an order, you see stuff and think "it's under a tenner, I might as well..." Certainly going to get my money's worth out of the Sankey DVDs, and have been looking forward to getting Misled for a while.

I know exactly what you're going through, Alex. I once bought a floating match on card just to see what it looked like. Problem. The "I" in IT is very well chosen :cry:

Do you really need a viper deck though. Be strong and resist.

Is that some sort of plastic surgery to the lower region?

Oh dearie me, you do have it bad! Your direct fight against your CUPS problem must have forced your CUPS into your subconscious mind, which causes the syndrome to bypass your conscious mind by ordering magic items in your sleep!

I recommend an extra dose of magic cakes just before bedtime; that should keep the CUPS away even at your most vulnerable moments!

Remember Greedoniz, your CUPS brothers (and sisters) are with you in this fight!
