Playing Card Plethora / Re: Seasons Playing Cards

Alright thanks people! But does anyone know what the website will be called? After all, it will be quite problematic to find it without knowing its name.

Does anyone know where these cards will be sold? I've heard that they will be sold on Ebay through Fullboatdealer and some other Ebay dealer, but on their facebook page they in replying on one of the comments said that they would like to sell them "through the website". Which website do they mean? I've tried searching for a "Seasons playing cards website" or something similar and found nothing. Can someone help me? Since these cards are rather limited, and there's certainly a lot of people wanting them, I wouldn't want to be late when the release happens.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Autographed White Lions Double Deal?
« on: December 23, 2011, 08:34:22 AM »
Yeah, but the original white lions sold out in like 3 hours, whereas these are still available. Why? Isn't anyone buying them or what? This offer has been there since the release of the white lions, which is about 3 months ago.

Playing Card Plethora / Autographed White Lions Double Deal?
« on: December 22, 2011, 12:29:45 PM »
Hey guys, I've been looking at this product at the David Blaine website since the first White Lions were released:


http://shop.davidblaine.com/collections/cards/products/white-lions-series-a-playing-cards-deal


I've been quite skeptic about buying these, since the white lions sold out in like 3 hours, but these are still available. Why people aren't buying these? I mean, they seem to be the same white lions, just without the cellophane. Is the absence of the cellophane wrap enough to make people ignore this? I've heard the white lions are some pretty amazing cards, and if you want to be able to use them and have them for your collection, this would be better that nothing. Or am I missing something?

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Kickstarter - a place I will never use again.

Wohoo, my card has been charged. And just out of curiosity, not that I'm rushing you or anything, when do you estimate we will have our decks?

blank faces are perfect cards to use for color changes


But don't spectators usually figure out that you had a special card? Isn't it more of a gag than a trick?

Hey guys, thanks for your replies! You really have some interesting ideas, looking forward to try some of them out. KPopFever605, you said that blank faced cards "are a whole different story", did you mean that they are useful? If yes, would you share some of your thoughts with us? The only use for blank faced cards that I know of is to make a reverse fan showing that all cards are apparently blank and then do a color change or something with the blank face to sort of "print" the cards.

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / What on earth do you do with double backers?
« on: December 07, 2011, 10:30:56 AM »
It seems like pretty much all of the new decks have a double backer included, and considering that when printing large numbers of cards printing an extra double backer will cost you quite a bit, I started to wonder that maybe they aren't putting it there just for the lolz.


So my question is, what is the use of double backers? Do you know any tricks that use a double backer (only the ones that only use one double backer and no other gaffs count)? Perhaps a double backer is needed for useful utility moves? Or are they putting it in there because the sheet of paper on which the cards are printed is just enough for 54 cards so that you pretty much have to put two (or more) extra cards or you would be paying for nothing? If yes, then why do they still do double backers? Might have come up with something more useful and creative in all these years.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Faro in both directions?

But if the cards are shuffled then they are turned in diferent directions so it shouldn't matter which way you faro them if they aren't taken straight from the box right?

Thank you very much, it was really important for me to know that.

I am making a website that teaches magic for beginners. The aim of the website is not to reveal tricks for laymen, but to help beginners get started with magic by learning some basic terms, sleights and of course tricks, perhaps even get them so interested that they would go to sites like ellusionist and theory11 and purchase tricks off of their sites thus bringing more money to the magic industry. The site would contain information about tricks with cards, coins and other little objects such as matches and rubber bands. The tricks would not be any kind of new releases, but classics by people like Dai Vernon or Larry Jennings. I will probably put a little advertising on the site just to pay for the cost of maintaining it.

But now that the site is nearing its completion, I realised that there might be a legal issue associated with this. So what I would like to know is that can you copyright a trick? Can I get into trouble by making such a website? Of course, if the creator of a trick that I've published on my website would ask me to remove it I would do so, but can there be other problems? I really need to know, because if it's illegal, then I won't waste my time on it.

Playing Card Plethora / Faro in both directions?
« on: October 23, 2011, 04:33:20 AM »
Often I hear that there are cards that faro both ways and cards that fan only one way. Card manufacturers even use it in their advertising when they say that the cards are traditionally cut which allows for faro shuffles in both directions. But I don't get it, I've tried faro shuffling my cards in all kinds of ways and they either always faro or don't faro at all. What is this "direction" in which the cards faro?
