Feedback + Support / Word count per post badge/fame idea
« on: April 17, 2012, 01:05:14 AM »
I have noticed that very oppinionated posters often get downfamed. I was thinking maybe it would be possible for there to be a badge that you would get if you have more than a certain amount of words per post on average. This badge could give some fame, and it would reward the biggest posters. Just an idea.
On a side not, I still can't view my PMs, Fame notifications or new replies to my topics in the bar up top. Please help me.

Playing Card Plethora / Details on Wynn playing cards and other Casino decks
« on: April 16, 2012, 04:29:07 PM »
This summer with my family I am going to the Las Vegas Wynn Hotel and Casino. I am interested in getting Wynn decks as I don't own any. I have heard there are 7 different types, and even more if we were to count the Jumbo Index and Standard Index as two different decks.
This is the hotel I will be going to:
http://www.wynnlasvegas.com/#
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wynn_Las_Vegas

I was wondering which decks I would be able to pick up there, if any.
Also, which casino decks would I be able to pick up in Las Vegas?

Thx,
Nathan

The Conversation Parlor / What are your political views? Keep it classy.
« on: March 30, 2012, 08:22:07 PM »
So, what are you political views? No insulting, lets keep it calm. Maybe we could organize a hangout and discuss our beliefs without having to spend hours writing it all out.

The Pasteboard Bazaar - Sales, Trades & In Search Of (STISO) / [TRADE] Magic Tricks and Playing Cards
« on: March 29, 2012, 02:08:30 PM »
Hey,
I have countless magic tricks. Being short on money right now I would be interested in trading them for Ellusionist Playing Cards as I don't currently own any  :o (shock, I know).
I will not list all the tricks I own because there would be too many to list, but I own most non-gimmicked releases by:
  • Theory11
  • Dan and Dave
  • Ellusionist
Just comment below with an offer, and I will PM you with details (we can haggle) :P

Ok. I have, among others...
  • Foundations v1 and v2 by Jason England (every single one of the tricks in Foundations v1 and v2).
  • Genesis v1 and v2 by Andrei Jikh
  • The Trilogy and the System by D&D
  • Highrise by Rick Lax
  • The Whole Thing, The Hole Thing, and Fade by Chris Mayhew
  • Mirage by Alex Geiser
  • Lennart Green's Masterfile Volumes 1-4
  • Ref4rm, Fusion, Window Pain, and High End by Blake Vogt
  • Twitch by Eric Simmatis
  • Mirage et Trois, Entrapment, Twizted, Metal 1-3, Eclipse by Eric Jones
  • Linking Cigarettes by Akira Fujii
  • Alchemy by Ben Seidman
  • Dresscode & Transit by Calen Morelli
  • Daniel Garcia project volumes 1-6
  • ...and so much more.
Those are some of my Theory11 tricks I have. I have much more, but the list is just too long. I have about every single T11 trick except for 10-15.

I will add more when I have time.
I can figure out all details by PM. You don't need to make me an offer. You can just ask me which tricks you think you might be interested in.

Warning. I left my DVDs in France but have a digital copy of them on my hard drive. If we decide on the trade I would send you that file however you would like, by uploading it as a private video, by sending it via email, but sending it using Dropbox or any other system you know of.

Thx,
Nathan

Playing Card Plethora / List of ALL USPCC and Branded Decks
« on: March 28, 2012, 11:29:06 AM »
For collection purposes, many would like to know which decks are missing in their collection. So I've decided it might be a good idea to make a public google document spreadsheet where we all add decks we know of and/or own.
The spreadsheet is divided in the following four categories: name, date first released, some info, and brand.
Anyone with the link can and with a google account can just sign in, view it and edit it. Here is the link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiqcLOvlmMJvdFEwNjJmVmVoTFI0ZzdmTzBXVDB4ZVE
I will start on it by adding the decks in my collection.
My plan is to have them in order by Brand and subdivided by Date.
Thx,
Nathan

Playing Card Plethora / Your Top 10 and Worse 10 Decks
« on: March 28, 2012, 11:20:14 AM »
I'm sorry if this topic already exists. I searched and couldn't find anything similar.
This is for USPCC and other branded decks (i.e. Fournier, Archduke etc)
First post your 10 favorite decks (with pictures if possible) and explain why briefly (1 sentence is fine).
Then post your 10 worse decks (with pictures if possible) and explain why briefly.

Playing Card Plethora / Your Mystery Custom Brick
« on: March 26, 2012, 10:37:57 AM »
Pick 12 different decks. Put them width wise in a brick box, or, if they don't all fit or if you don't own a brick box, put them side by side so we can only see one of their sides. Don't show the bottom, face, top, or back of the box. Just one side. Take a picture and upload it here, and make sure to stay up to date with this thread so you can see if we are guessing right.
Good luck!

If you had to pick 12 decks to live with for your whole life, what would they be and why. It can be based on their value moneywise, how much they mean to you etc.

The Pasteboard Bazaar - Sales, Trades & In Search Of (STISO) / [EBAY] Decks at prices cheaper than retail!!!!
« on: March 17, 2012, 06:19:18 PM »
Hi guys,
I have a couple items listed for sale. Here they are:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/ocanadas/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3686
Please PM me on ebay or comment below if you have any interest!
For those wondering why these are for sale, here is the reason. I spent a lot lately. And so I decided to sell a quarter of my collection. So, these are the decks.
EDIT: I am sold out of all 12 Massas, all 12 Smoke and Mirror v6s and all 12 sets of RARE Bicycle Big Gun decks. 3 sets of Old Style Studs remain.
All are sealed and in great condition.
Thx,
Nathan

The Conversation Parlor / Rewind, Series by Ellusionist
« on: March 15, 2012, 05:53:06 PM »
To start off, I would like to say three things. First of all, I don't know if this is in the right thread. I'm unsure about which one it belongs in. Secondly, I searched "Rewind" and "Episode" and didn't find any thread talking about this. I'm sorry if I am mistaken for any of the above.
Feel free to talk bout your thoughts on the series Rewind by ellusionist.
I just saw Episode 4 and completely disagree. Feel free to watch it before reading the following.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwOJqKYMiFg&feature=youtu.be
I think that we can call Flourishing however we would like. Cardistry may fall into the domain of flourishing, but I still think we can call it cardistry.
He says that cardistry doesn't belong in magic. I think he is completely mistaken and he isn't adapting to today's trends.
What are your opinions?

Playing Card Plethora / Ask Alexander Ivory Finish Mistake in Printing
« on: March 11, 2012, 07:34:10 PM »
I was just opening my first deck of Ask Alexander playing cards and after having cracked open the seal I wasn't able to open up the flap. I realised one card was stuck between the flap and the box, glued to the seal. What should I do about this? What would you do in my place?

Feedback + Support / Badge Completion Idea
« on: February 28, 2012, 09:10:33 PM »
I thought that maybe on our badges, if they are incomplete, if we move our mouse over one of them, say the 50 posts in 24 hrs badge, it would be cool to see our progress (i.e. 85% complete, or 23 posts left, or 244% complete).
