So, What do you guys want for Christmas/Holidays? Card/Magic related or not.

Others have been sort of talking about their lists in other threads so we might as well start one. If you have cards on your list, say which ones, and maybe why, not simply just saying cards and/or magic tricks

My list is pretty small, like it usually is, but here are a couple thing I want.

1. HD HERO2 GoPro videocamera
http://gopro.com/hd-hero2-cameras/

I really would like to have it for this winter to make snowboarding videos with my friends and other random videos I may make.

2. Winter Jacket

The Reason is kind of self explanatory, to stay warm, but I have not picked out which one yet, or even a colour I would like it to be. I is just my old winter jacket is pretty worn out and I would like a new one for this season at Big White ( my local ski resort )

I would actually prefer you did, and I am sure other would enjoy knowing a bit more detail about what you want. Maybe just pick out the tops things on your list if there are too many items and say why those are the top things on your wishlist, put a little effort into it mate.

Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

Well, the 2012 rebalance patch is coming in December so it'll play quite differently to how it does now; basically, it'll be new.  You play any of the other SF games?


As for my Christmas list... phew, I have no idea.  If I combine Christmas, birthday and some gig money, I might get a new gaming PC rig but we'll see.

That sounds like an awesome show! I have seen Sperry live and he was unreal, but man, with Kevin James and everyone else there it will be one heck of a show.

I play vanilla Street Fighter 4 and I do play super arcade edition at my friend's house. I also play 2 turbo hd remix and 3 3rd strike OE on ps3. SF is as awsome as playing cards!

I wish I knew what I want.  I just bought a deck of white lions today and a propaganda deck.  I really want videos/books that will help improve my performance.  I don't think I want any more tricks.  I'm happy with the uncomfortably large number I already have that I cannot perform well enough to show off.

Any suggestions for performance materials?  Crowd control, charisma boosting, patter ideas, stuff like that.

Dan & Dave have an awesome collection of literature, some of which specifically targeted at improving performance.  I hear Tamariz's "The Five Points of Magic" is supposed to be good for this - I can't vouch for it personally.




My wish list, in order:
more new decks (and some old ones, too)

classic card lit like both Card College series
The Paper Engine
Daniel Garcia Project, complete
Ninja 1 & 2
Card Illusionist, NYC Area
