I thought I'd stop by and say hey. I've been a member here for a little bit and just haven't introduced myself. I started out collecting playing cards about two years ago. Then, about a year ago I got into cardistry and been pretty focused on flourishing ever since.

Hey, welcome - like the rules for Irish dinner tables, "There's always room for one more!"

Tell us more about your collection and your cardistry.  Favorite deck, how many decks, what moves you like most, what moves you're working on right now - y'know, the important things in life!  :))

Thanks guys! My first deck I got my hands now was th Uspc guardians. My favorite deck is probably Cincinnati arrcos or any of the s&m series. I have around 150decks. Don, I'm currently working on Chris hestnes' papercuts a lot of good stuff in there!

Guardians are one of my "go-to" decks; nice style, identical jokers, subtle one-way marking.  In an interview, Jonathan Bayme states it was the company's first deck.

The guardians are a good deck. I use them to practice new flourishes.

I used to use just the USPC version for impromptu performances, until I realized that the T11 v2 deck was the same price...  :))  Now I use either.

Welcome to the Discourse (did you know In the first sense-usage i.e. semantics and discourse analysis, the word "discourse" is studied in corpus linguistics?) It's true....
