And we might also mention that the wonderful Twinbox idea was pinched from a set of decks done by Aristocrat many many years ago. We got this from Tom and Judy Dawson!
Thanks Tom and Judy!

I bought a brick of them and I can't wait to get them! I'm usually very happy with Conjuring Arts and EPCC but I just don't know about this double tuckbox. .. Crying babies like me would probably complain about the lack of practicality I can appreciate the fact that it's different but what are your thoughts on this, Bill?

Hey all,
Thought I'd share pics of the cabinet I gave myself as an early Christmas gift It's a 70's library Card Catalog. 30 drawers and 40 decks per drawer... Got it for cheap; had to sand and varnish it. I'm really happy with it!

That looks fantastic!  Bill Kalush did the same thing in his office at Conjuring Arts!  Finding one today, though, is like looking for stars in the night sky above New York - exceptionally difficult, nearly impossible!

Yeah Card guys are definitely going for those old cabinets. They're pretty hard to find. Or if you find them, they're usually super expensive.  I got lucky with mine; it was pretty cheap.

Lee Asher's deck is actually 605, not 606

Indeed, you are correct.  Thanks!  I'm surprised that I forgot that...

Happens to the best of us Hard to keep up sometimes!

Don do these come in some stack or just premixed?

I just received mine and I like 'em a lot. They come in Mnemonica stack. Nice, thick stock.

Oh cool!
I'm from Montreal; where is your mom from?

Mom was born in Montreal, but her family lived in Quebec where her dad worked as a cabbie.  Eventually they moved to New York and her dad got a better job as a resident manager of a luxury apartment building.  She got left back two grades in high school because she was unable to speak English, but by the time she graduated post-high school classes at a secretarial school, her first employer sent her back because her English had too much of a Brooklyn accent!

She's lived in a few different places around the country and presently is just outside of the Piedmont Triad in North Carolina.

Nice story She moved around quite a lot

Oh geez Here we go... First of all; responsibility and not responsability.. Sorry but j'aimerais te voir écrire une phrase en français, Don

Pardonnez-moi, monsieur!  Ma mère est Québécoise, mais je n'ai jamais appris le français.  Cela vient à vous avec l'aimable autorisation de Google Translate.

I don't know why my opinion would be biased; I'm usually satisfied with the Crown.

Ok let's go out in the sun

Sounds like a plan - I'm done talking about this!

Lol Deal! And Google translator did a pretty good job for once

I don't know why my opinion would be biased; I'm usually satisfied with the Crown.

With 1500 decks in the collection, I know what a good deck, an OK deck and a mediocre deck is. I never complain about decks but this one is total crap even though BC said it wasn't really meant to sustain long time usage. Like someone said, I was expecting a Pinto and I got a used bicycle with no wheels. Until you have one in your hands, you can't understand. The deck is literally Dollar Store material. I don't know why Don is making such a big deal about my... opinion.

Ok let's go out in the sun

I bought 2 of those and they suck. I understand this is not meant to be a "real" deck but this is completely useless. 50$ down the drain. Cheap cardboard cards. Dollar Store quality. Really disappointed.

Hey, look at it this way. It was nice of you to help pay for Alex's trip to California this week. Lol He will be thinking of all the little people who helped him financially get him where he is today! Lol That was a very nice thing you did and for your donation, you got a deck of cards. Feel better?

All joking aside. Where's the love? Where's the passion and pride of owning a company? Is this what Alex wants TBC brand to be known for? Is the TBC nothing more then novelty or souvenir shop? When was the last time a respectable magician did a video produced by TBC? When you look at products from other companies like them or not, you see the effort, the time, the work, the thought process. I don't see any of that from Alex in his products anymore.

Lol yeah I heard he's eating caviar on a stripper's ass tonight with my money.

Just a detail really but it's Bee Erdnaseum, not Erdnasm...

If anyone's interested, here's my updated collection

The reason why I dont have more Seasons and why I didnt buy the latest cards is simply because Im trying to be reasonable and dont spend so much money in cards

Very nice, a lot of nice cards in there. And if you ever come to Montreal and you wanna eat some tasty burgers at Mr Steer, lemme know!

First of all, awesome collection! Also let me welcome you to the forums. I hope you'll enjoy it here. Finally, it seems like some of those crown decks are 1st editions... nice! BTW do you speak french? How long have you been collecting?

@Kpop - I believe very few people in these forums have as much cards. I know Don, Alex, and TigerKnee do, and I own almost 400 without counting duplicates.

Yes Nathan, I speak french, I'm from Montreal.. I looove the Crowns. They handle beautifully
