Hi,
My name is Alessandro and I am an Italian card magician, and I love collecting vintage decks and gambling equipment. I am a classical guy, no flourishes or fancy stuff for me, some of you may be like me, some of you don't. My dear friend Digipunk suggested I registered here, and he is right, this decision was perfect!
Anyway, that's all.
Thank you,
Alessandro

Welcome to the discourse! :)
what is your favorite vintage deck you have?
-
Welcome to the Discourse
Finally another vintage collector! Give it the forum a search and locate my thread on vintage collection to post and show us some of your collections! I can't wait to see 'em!
-
I will SX! Aaron, it is a very tough decision for me, as a back design the Racer Back#2 and the 727s are my favourites, together with the Oak Leaf Back (not listed in Robinson's though) and Nautic Back are the ones that come to me off the top of my head. But my favourite vintage decks are the ones that Dai Vernon handled (one of which was made for his birthday) and another which Marlo used.
-
Ah Oak Leaf. Are you talking about the one which no one's really seen of, but only in guides, or the Leaf Back?
In addition to your favourites, I also really like the Lantern back designs.
I mainly do Bicycle-branded. But clearly you've got other ones. What are your ranges for collecting?
-
Oak Leaf Back yes, the same model as the ones used by Dai Vernon in "Triumph" in Star's of Magic. Which are the really rare ones. I am a simple collector, I collect Bicycle, Tally Ho, Bee, Arrco and Aristocrats. The main vintage decks I have are made up by those. Sx, I can't find your topic, can you please link it?
-
Sure thing!

Ah here goes one of the few girls on the forum. Get use to her purple texts and the tone. She always seem to be on something. (Kidding!) :D
-
Hey! Welcome to the discourse! :D I personally don't collect any vintage decks, but I admire you for you passion!
-

You has a problem with I? LoL!!!! Yeah I'm on something.... I on a horse. Just kidding too. I just always feel giddy and happy... but you'll see/notice it if I'm not in the mood or if I'm being extra serious... that means there is something VERY VERY wrong. ^_^
But yeah. GET USED TO THE PURPLE

Nah, just had to get you back for my board ID. :P
-
Thank you very much! I met Digi for the first time on the UC forum. I am really enjoying this forum, very lively people and interesting posts. Brown Baggs, thank you, I try to get as much information as possible to expand my knowledge. By the way, who is in that image?
-
. By the way, who is in that image?
Danny Devito! (if I even spelled it right) he is an actor/comedian
-

Actually it's jmrock brought me here (because he couldn't log on UC :P ).

Yup she's right! The man himself. Why do you ask?
-

I think Alex meant thank YOU for bringing Alessandro here.

I know, and I meant he should thank jmrock ;)
-
Lol right. Indirect referencing there.
-
Besides, don't believe what AlessandroPangia said about he enjoys here much, he's lying. I told him this forum more than 1 month ago, and he hadn't been here until yesterday...
-
Lol maybe that just means he's got a better life out there in the real world then a few of us who spends absolutely too much time on the forum here. >.<
-
That's true, but since it snowed for almost a month in a row here, I could access internet sparingly, and to be fair I like the forum anyway. And I really enjoy talking to other magicians and/or collectors, why should I lie about that?
-
Welcome on board, Alessandro.
I'm telling you, we get more and more UC defectors by the day, practically. I've never done more and a few lurks around there - has it really gotten that bad or something?
-
Welcome to the Discourse man .. hope we can all get together well
-
Welcome Alessandro! We're glad you're enjoying yourself here :)
-
Welcome to the discourse Alessandro! tell me, are UC people 'defecting' here because of the way the forums are back there? :-\ I'm interested to know... 8)
-
Looks like he's enjoying his life out there. Been waiting for his picture on the vintage decks for a while. :S
@K,
Were you a member in UC? You'd probably know if you were. It's falling apart because no mods are taking charge and actually taking care of the forum. It's closed down, hopefully temporarily, to "exchange servers" as it says on the site right now.

That message has been up for several days now. Either they're really slow at "exchanging servers", or there are bigger issues keeping the board down. They could have built a new server from scratch in the time it's taking them to "exchange".
