I was playing around with my 'vintage 1800 bicycle' from ellusionist. Wich i have for a long time now.
Has anybody noticed that these bueatifull cards are marked ? I don't mean marked in the way that you know wich card is wich from the back. But more like the way the carnivals are marked. I just noticed it. I don't know if i have to consider this a good or a bad thing.

They are as well! Out comes the magnifying glass, and 10 minutes to waste, and they are actually marked. Amazing, I never noticed until now.

Finaly somebody says something ON topic. simply put you can see wich way is up, and wich way is down.

I still dont understand this trend of buying novelty looking decks... surely they bring unnecessary suspision to what you do?

I can see you point, and agree with it in this case. I once bought 2 decks of Ghost cards; took one to a gig one evening, performed one trick with it, then went and returned it to my bag (incase you care, the trick went wrong because someone picked the 7 of Hearts but saw the 7 of Spades, nothing you can't recover but it was enough for me to never use them again). The deck was then only used for practise and the 2nd deck has still not been opened 3 or 4 years later!

Pack of blue bikes please!

I just dont understand it at all! Ive decided to run a theme with my props now so everything I use is slowly turning green - Green sponge balls, green poker chips, green bikes - but I dont know why you would want reverse printed things, or decks made to look old or glow in the dark.... the mind boggles!!

It was a CUPS moment... and Ellusionists advertising methods. (poor excuse)

Like I said... I originally had it as a unique give away from Tagged where they get to keep the card.

I also had this nice patter around it

--Infy

I have the Karnival deck as well... that was a halloween CUPS moment.

I think those decks are really cool. I don't do alot of magic with them i just find them cool. They look nice.

Nothing worse then buyinig a cool car,

AND LET THIS BE CLEAR, i didn't make this topic for people to wine about how they wont buy those cards, i made the topic for other people who own the 1800's to ask if they noticed the mark !!!! So people who don't agrea with us having these deck, go find another topic to complain

I think as much as your right that the original discussion is about the markings, I believe that I am valid to voice my opinion and I shouldnt have to open a new thread to say I dont like them, which will just clutter up the forum.


I will NOT be told to go away either
