Title: Ask Alexander Porper Clips
Post by: Lushbob on December 31, 2011, 10:53:33 PM
This looks great for any fans of the Ask Alexander deck who are out there.
You can get Porper Clips that have been designed to emulate an Ask Alexander deck. They're a deep, crimson red colour, with the engraving in white. Looks awesome to me.
The best thing about it, if you order it from the CARC website, you can pick up an Ask Alexander Porper Clip for $39.99 (postpaid to the US), and you get 2 free Ask Alexander decks (one Cambric finish, and one Ivory finish).
Looks like a pretty nice deal, especially to big fans of the Ask Alexander deck.
Here's the link to pick up a clip from the CARC site; http://conjuringarts.org/2011/12/ask-alexander-card-clips/

Meh - seeing as how audiences see the porper clip during your performance, I wouldn't want such a weird one shown off. Who is Alexander? That's the question no audience member will know the answer to, and it just makes things seem silly. I do have to admit though, very nice choice of color!

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. But what about if you just want it so that you can keep your Ask Alexander decks in pristine condition, in a stlyish clip? If I had the money spare, I'd probably pick up one of these.
And yeah, the colour is a great choice.

If I didn't hate all aspects of the Ask Alexander deck, or if this clip was for a deck I actually liked, I'd SO pick up one.

Haha, not a fan? I'm personally definitely not a fan of the blatant one way back design, although the one main thing that I can say is that I do like the front of the box. It's quite reminiscient of the Squeezers decks (bulldog and angel back), and I just think it's got a nice, 'vintage' style look to it. But you're right, I can't say that I'm the biggest fan of any other aspects of the Ask Alexander deck.

The clip is very cool.
I got a deck, but honestly I don't like it. It's ivory finish.

I don't have this deck, but the clip looks awesome! I like the colors and the white engraving is really slick looking!! I won't be getting this but I do appreciate the aesthetics

I want to see this level of workmanship on future Porpers - it's stunningly attractive.  I'd buy this in a plain Rider Back box design!  Tally Ho would also be an awesome clip - two models for the two different backs!

I like certain aspects of the Ask Alexander, but it's not my favorite deck.

Oh, wow. That would be an amazing idea. Tally-Ho Porper clips would look brilliant. I hope at some point, they do decide to do that. I won't be holding my breath, though...

I've already seen plain stainless steel Bicycle Rider Back clips, but not with the anodizing and engraving like this clip.  It wouldn't surprise me to see such clips for Tallys and Bees.

Hm. You're right. Well then, I really do hope they do a Tally-Ho clip like this!

These don't have an M bend like other Porpers, are they still functionally the same?

yes, they still grip the cards well and keeps them straight, pick up any porper clip and they all do the same thing, and E porper only fits E decks and standard porpers hold standard decks
