It's amazing how much pleasure there is in starting to learn something new. Even for us old people.

Turner Classic Movies had Cincinnati Kid on a couple nights ago and afterwards they showed this short short "The Cincinnati Kid Plays According to Hoyle" with Jay Ose, a magician who advised on the film.

Anyway, he does a few tricks and there I am saying to my husband (having made it through all of a third of Erdnase) "ooh! I know how he did that!"

Anybody see this? It's listed on imdb but I couldn't find it on YouTube. And was this guy famous or just a movie guy?

Hi!

I'm Carolyn from PA. I recently got hooked on cards via Kickstarter - had read Name of the Wind a long time ago and liked it a lot, backed that deck and started seeing others. Then, well, there are all these other neat card designs..... and maybe even the (remote?) possibility of learning a few new skills. I had no idea what an interesting ecosystem playing cards inhabit.

I should explain my screen name, from a previous hobby - also mostly but also by no means completely a Domain of Men. Autocross is the parking lot/cones/racing thing and I did it (mostly slowly) for about ten years, during which I did a lot of driving schools. At one of these my husband and co-driver both did the school the day before me and completely wore out the tires. As a result I drove the whole day on corded tires, ie, on the bare steel. Now that was exciting.

You all have a good forum here. Looking forward to learning more.

Regards,
Carolyn
