hello

i was just wondering if anyone know if there is a site selling the ellusionist uncut one sheet in the uk?

thanks

I doubt it, and if they did they'd probably over charge you more than Ellusionist will do!
If I wanted one of those sheets I would just get one of these
http://www.ellusionist.com/order/playing-card-prints-9909.html

So they are not ' Ellusionist Limited Edition ' , who cares?!

You can hardly tell the difference in looks and they are a hell of a lot cheaper!

I know they were for sale in the UK at http://cards4magic.co.uk/ but I can't see them for sale there anymore. I think I saw them for sale in another UK website but can't remember for the life of me which!

I've probably missed the point here but as those unmounted prints cost almost $17 plus shipping, why not just get a normal deck for £2.00 or so and stick them on cardboard in your chosen frame? I doubt anyone would notice if they were cut or uncut once they're behind glass .

yeah its the prints that i am looking for.

i know what u mean about this other site. been searching for it but just cant find it anymore. i remember the site having a black background!

Yeah, just get the poster, I mean you're going to frame it anyway so no one will know.

what's the difference between those (in the link - the "printed sheets") and the ones they're selling for $250 a pop?

...and yes... nice idea Mandrake.

(I mean for $19.99 I might not go throught the trouble, but for $250??????)

the only chance in the UK may be http://www.cards4magic.co.uk who are/were stocking the normal sheets.

I choked when I saw the $200+ price tag for the new sheets. Just think how much magic you could buy for just one of these, never mind the price of the set!

The Masters ones are selling for $100 i think, but if you want to be able to display from back and front, just buy the front and back poster! Thats what im doing with the Black Tiger posters!

i dont get it, ellusionist special eddition ones for 250$ and normal ones for 17$ ... what is the diffference again? they are the same cards right? is that E very expensive to print?

The difference is the uncut sheets are an uncut sheet of the actual cards - not a print. Still, they're incredibly overpriced.

As Mandrake has said - a do-it-yourself job looks just fine. I've already done it with 2 decks of vipers.

As an added bit of fun, I reversed one of the cards in the frame, so if someone comes over I can do a nice little "frame revelation" trick, where their selection is the only face-down card in the frame.

The prints are supposed to be of very high quality - so they're worth it if you don't want to do it yourself. The 1800's aren't available in poster format, though. I'll be making a few of those, too I guess.

There is nothing that is dramatically different about the sheets, well apart from the price! I think they look nice but I wouldn't put them up because I don't want people thinking all I do is magic. It is, but I don't want everyone to think it is!

I was speaking to some guy on MySpace - he was from the UK - and he said that he bought all of the Ellusionist Limited Edition Sheets because someone in his familly left him a lot of money. He kept on telling me how much they would be worth in 5 years. To be honest I wasn't so sure!
