The Conversation Parlor / I joined a contest. Help me win please?
« on: January 12, 2013, 09:05:26 PM »


Okay guys! I was invited to join a contest on Facebook. Unfortunately its not a cardistry contest or anything like that. Its more of a model search thing. I was only invited to join last night and Its kinda hard to rack up 200 votes over night. Which is why I'm turning to all of you for help.

Its fairly simple

Just click on this link here:   

https://toptabapp.com/e/tda?p=oq

And vote for me. Sharing counts as votes too. so I Really really need your help in these my awesome Aetherians. :)
This is just the first round of voting. There will be 2 other rounds later this month and next month and on march. So now I'm just trying to get into the preliminary round :) Thank you again so much!!!!

Love you all!

Feedback + Support / Just a Suggestion - Back to Top button
« on: January 06, 2013, 09:50:05 PM »
Just a suggestion.

I don't know if its just me, but I think we should have one of those floating buttons at the side near the scroll bar that allow the page to jump "BACK TO TOP" without having to scroll up. You know kind of like the tumblr "Jump to top" button. Of course that's just one person's suggestion. What do you guys think?

Sorry about this guys! It took me forever.
Anyway this is the codes I used to change my Ultimate Profile Look and Feel.

I'm not very good with codes or tutorials about it as well I was just clicking and playing around and this is what i got.

If you want to know where to put these codes.

At the top of the Site. Click on Profile. That will take you to your profile page. Then below the "YOU ARE HERE" hover the mouse pointer to the MODIFY PROFILE option and then select ULTIMATE PROFILE.
Then scroll to the very end and enter the code inside the customization box. :)

Introduce Yourself / READ THIS FIRST: How to Introduce Yourself
« on: January 05, 2013, 11:41:07 PM »




Hi Everyone! Lara here! I'm here to give you some ideas on what to put on your introduction post to make things more interesting and so we can know a little bit more about you than just your member name.

  • Name or your nickname or Stage name. Which ever you would like us to address you as.
  • Where you are from. Because members of the forums come from all over so we would love to know if we have fellow countrymen/women in the house!
  • Are you a Cardist? Magician? Collector? a combination of the 3?
  • What got you into the arts?
  • How you found out about the forums. We are always secretly curious

ex. Hi everyone! I'm Lara and I hail from the Philippines (REPRESENT YO!). I like to collect cards and try my hand at Caristry/flourishing but I do have a hard time with it at times because of my smaller than average hands. I used to do magic but not anymore. I would much rather keep magic tricks a mystery and magical. I got into the whole card and magical world a few years ago when I dated a magician. But I got into collecting on my own and also with my current boyfriend (sorry fellas I'm taken). I love collecting cards because they are portable art and easy to store art (except for those uncut sheets).
I found out about the forums through my boyfriend Kensei777. etc.......(you can add whatever at this point)

So this is a great way to introduce yourself right? Its much better than:

ex. Hi guys! I like cards and I'm new here. Nice to meet you.


So this is just a little template to help out those who are stumped in how to introduce themselves here.

xoxo

Feedback + Support / Discourse Member's (Ultimate Profile)
« on: September 13, 2012, 02:37:15 PM »


Hey guys!
hows it going?

Anyway. I know we are all loving our sleek Discourse forum theme. It loads faster and what not.
So many features and all that glam.

But I'm here to ask you guys if you've taken a gander at you or others' Member profile page.  And if you didn't notice, we have something called, "Ultimate Profiles" Its where you can put other info about yourself like your bio, likes/interests, media, and there is this one "Customization".

I was so intrigued that I played around with it. I have almost zero to nothing knowledge in whatever its called (html? css??) but anyway. Check out what I was able to do  ^-^

http://aethercards.com/discourse/profile/krystlelane/

Anyhu, has anyone customized their Discourse member profile? If so I'd love to see it.  ;D
And also I want to know what you guys think about it as well.

xoxo

Playing Card Plethora / Zombie Pack Playing Cards
« on: May 19, 2012, 07:59:12 PM »
I was posting some stuff on my blog when this post popped out of my related contents. I did a search on the forums if anyone has posted this, but found none. This guy is into Graphic Communication and what not. I Don't know much but I thought I'd share it with you.

POSTED ON APRIL 22 2012

Well I’ve received my playing cards from the printer, and overall I’m quite pleased with how they’ve come out. I’m now selling them on this site, so if you click the Store page on the right, you can see a few more photos and purchase a pack (via PayPal). If they are popular, and I don’t end up having to use them as beer mats or napkins, then it might encourage me to produce more, and other themed sets… we’ll see how it goes.


Quote
Zombie Pack Playing Cards – £5.40 (plus £2.00 p&p)
54 individually illustrated zombie-themed playing cards (inc. the 2 Jokers), standard poker sized at 2.5″ x 3.5″. Each card has a unique front and a repeat pattern on the back so you can still play games with them, perfect for whiling away the hours in the attic hiding from the real-life zombies.
Each pack comes cellophane wrapped inside a clear plastic case.

Playing Card Plethora / Novelty Decks I bought today.
« on: May 18, 2012, 08:51:04 AM »


So I went out today to go deck hunting. I set out to find olympic cards and Liu Chen's Spar and what nots. To no avail. But instead I found these cuties. :D
I dunno if I should place separate threads for them but they're all just novelty decks so yeah.
I was expecting them to be really crappy but they are not bad at all. Fans nicely for now...  but its really cheap.

only 10 Chinese RMB

The Conversation Parlor / Taking a peek inside the minds of....
« on: May 16, 2012, 01:55:28 AM »
Hey Guys,

I just wanted to bother you all for a moment. You see I have been thinking about my personal blog lately and I have always contemplated on posting stuff about decks and what not but as I searched online I saw that there are already TONS of those types of blogs. So I sat and stared at my header image for hours at a time trying to figure out how to go about it. As I was chanting "Behind Krystle Lane, Take a peek in my mind" over and over and thinking, it finally hit me that I wanted to write about the new and upcoming deck designers who are popping up left and right these days. I don't want to just post photos of their work/designs/decks of cards/what-nots and write about what I think of 'em or review them, criticize them. NOPE. I want to take a peek inside the minds of the genius people who made them. (make sense?)

Because I think, more often than not, a person's design is a reflection of one's self/mind.
We have been seeing a lot of decks out there from designers from all walks of life and I for sure would like to know why they drew what they drew. Saw what they saw and all those other words for dramatic effect that I'm just going to skip to spare you all off the cheesiness of this post. Hahahhaah!!

But you guys get my drift right?

So what do you think? Any inputs?

oh and if there is already a site/blog that is similar to what I had in mind. Then oh well. :( I'm still going to do it anyway. ;D  Its worth a shot. =^-^=

The Conversation Parlor / The Avengers 2012
« on: May 08, 2012, 09:09:04 AM »


THE AVENGERS



Okay so over the weekend I watched The Avengers! And it was really awesome! Has anyone watched it? I think it was really well made and I loved every bit of it. It was such eye candy for me of course (being a female).
I'm not that much of a die hard Fan of Marvel (but I still am a BIG FAN) and I'm not so disappointed with the movie at all.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the movie. Which were your favourite parts and which parts were like MEH to you.
 





Warning: MEGA SPOILERS here for those who haven't watched it yet. :P

The Conversation Parlor / Rants on Stuff
« on: March 23, 2012, 01:36:17 AM »


Hey guys,

I know I haven't been online lately so yeah I apologize.
Its just that loading The Discourse has been getting slower and slower as each time passes by.
I don't know if its my internet connection or the computer, or something else.
But anyway, I really do apologize. I really want to be online more here. But the slow loading time is preventing me to do so. Since I have a ton of other things to do as well. so yeah. BLEH.

So if I reply to a post and then you responded asking me a question or what-not and I don't reple (or unable to) feel free to just email me okay?

love you all!

cheers

The Conversation Parlor / Pinterest? Pinspire? WeHEARTit?
« on: March 15, 2012, 08:51:46 AM »
Okay so there's this ongoing new/old fan called online pinning or whatever.

I want to know who has accounts on any of these sites

http://pinterest.com
http://pinspire.com
http://weheartit.com

I'm a little confused with this whole pinning thing but I do find a whole bunch of interesting things there.
I have an account in pinspire.com because pinterest is a by invite only.

I'd like to know if there are any of you Aetherians who are in this sort of thing. Id like to hear your opinion on these kinds of sites, and what nots.

^_^

The Conversation Parlor / Any Suggestions: Bored to Death
« on: February 27, 2012, 08:32:49 AM »


Yes I am bored.  :(
For some reason time in China runs really slowly and I get to finish everything I have to do really early and I still have tons of time to spare. So I try to do other things. Like read books, practice flourishing, doodle on some designs, talk to friends or whatever. Thing is I'm such a pro at multi tasking that I tend to finish those other things quickly as well.  :D

So right now I'm left with nothing to do. :'(

I know I can Aether here, or something. But I don't reply on topics I don't relate to much or reply to topics I'm not really interested in.  I want to do something else online or not. (note: its winter here and I have not adjusted to the cold yet, so I always get sick when I'm out)  ???

 >:( I don't like to place facebook games
 >:( I don't like to watch TV/MOVIES/DVDS (at the moment)
 >:( I don't want to play computer games
 >:( I don't want to go at any kind of 9gag site.
 >:( I don't want to browse at shopping sites (at the moment)

So can anyone suggest anything interesting I can do on the web without having to use the VPN? :o
**take note of the list of blocked sites in China** ???
Or any interesting Apps for the iPad.

I feel so picky BLAH! hahahahaha!  ::) :-[

So any suggestions?  :-\

« on: February 16, 2012, 07:12:46 AM »
Hey everyone. I just want to know which are your top 3 favourite cards in the deck and I'd like to know why they are your favourite. I have heard pretty cool stories and significance from other people who have told me their favourite card. So I'd love to know which ones are yours and why you like/favor them ^_^

I apologize for the super LOOOOONG poll.

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / Magical Reactions
« on: February 16, 2012, 01:11:35 AM »
I've been wanting to post this for some time now but I just kept forgetting ^_^

For those of you who do magic or perform magic, what was your most interesting, funny, out of this world reaction from your audience that you've heard or encountered?

There was one time when a friend of mine did a transposition (i think) effect and then one of the laymen was a heckler and he said the most bizarre thing ever.

"Pshhh... I know how thats done! The explanation is so simple... that guys has telekinetic powers. THATS HOW HE DID IT!"

He said it in such a matter-of-fact tone that made it too funny!

There was another time when Kensei and another magician performed a coin trick to my grandmother (who was very very religious) during dinner time and my grandma said,

"You pray over your coins to perform magic?"

I was like O_o...... >.< NO! LoLs!

So I'm pretty sure that some of you might have had hilarious experiences with your laypeople's reaction to magic. Do share it here so we can all laugh about it ^_^

cheers!

Playing Card Plethora / Silent Hill Playing cards
« on: February 16, 2012, 12:58:41 AM »

What about you guys?
I know there are some here who loves Silent Hill.

Design & Development / Cards: History, Meanings, and More
« on: February 01, 2012, 07:15:42 PM »
Hey guys! okay since we are all very excited about our little project http://aethercards.com/discourse/index.php?topic=1595.0
I was so politely asked by @Moon.exe to write down the description/meanings and personality for each card. I used to dabble in tarot cards (not anymore though scared the bejeezuz outta me), but I think it would be a very useful thing for us to know specially in designing our decks and what-nots.

-update-

I've added the Table of contents for easy navigation! So just click away! I Love you all!




-- NOTE: I'm finally Done! So knock yourself out!! --

Playing Card Plethora / Gold and Silver 2008 Beijing Olympic Cards
« on: January 31, 2012, 11:59:03 PM »
These are my favourite decks from my little collection. Its from the 2008 Beijing olympics. Since I lived in Beijing it was very easy for m to get these. I don't have them anymore because stupid me left it in my 'ex's house. I only have the sliver bridge size now. Really sad. I want to know what you guys think about it. I don't know much about details and specifics of cards. All i know is that I really love my (R.I.P) Gold and Silver cards.

Introduce Yourself / Krystle Here!
« on: January 28, 2012, 09:20:24 AM »
Hello there! I'm Krystle (lara), I'm 22 (or was it 23) years old. I'm from the Philippines but I will be based in Beijing, China (again) this Feb 17/18 onward. Truth be told I only found out about cards (magic) back in 2008 via "ex boyfriend <-- dont want to talk about it)". 

Anyway I was not much of a magician because I didn't like the idea of talking while performing. I co-founded a small magic group/club and became its webmaster/manager/video editor blah blah blah and the likes. Hanging out with the group, of course, I eventually learned a few things here and there. What I really liked the most was Card Manipulation. It fascinated me, I've never seen 52 pieces of paper being handled that way. IT WAS AMAZING!!!



Anyhu, because of my fascination on this art form, it came with a want and a need to have the right ammunition. CARDS.... Lots and LOTS of CARDS ( and bragging rights that came along when you get a hold of that rare deck). So yeah. I don't have much right now because when I broke up with the "dude" I left most of mine at his place and I really dont want to get it back.

So I'm starting fresh.
Together with Kensei777 (<---- <3 <3 <3), I'm in the process of collecting cards. :)
I saw him browsing around this forums and it caught my interest so i decided to join in as well and learn from the masters. :P


So here I am. Please be kind. :(

I do apologise for the extremely girlish post though.
