  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
Did you know...

Meir Yedid Magic http://mymagic.com

also operates

Gambling Incorporated? http://gamblingincorporated.com

I noticed the selection of playing cards was similar, including some hard-to-find oddities like the Harry Anderson decks, and that Meir Yedid's "dimple" marking device is pictured marking one of those Cheetah cards you can only get at GI.  Also spotted that the odd-looking red asterisk was the same logo used at the start of the web address for both sites (I was doing price comparisons).  When ordering a few legit and marked decks from GI, the giveaway was that the billing address for PayPal is meir@gamblingincorporated.com...

Design-wise, the sites are worlds apart from each other.  I wouldn't have guessed but for stumbling on the clues.

I would guess so as I emailed GI once and the person who replied signed off as Meir Yedid
