The Life of Cards

I'm brand new to cardistry so I'm pretty rough on cards. I know I'm using too much pressure on springs and pressure fans because the cards get bent. I'm sure I'll develop a lighter touch in time but for now I'm really beating them up. So, given that the cards are getting a workout, what would you es...

Casino Decks

Today my wife, or as I call her "the enabler", bought me a bunch of casino decks at the local dollar store. I'm new to collecting so I thought I'd ask you experts a few questions. Do many folks collect these? What should one look for in a casino deck? I'm familiar with Jerry's Nugget, of c...

Re: Virts spring/summer 15

Thanks, Firthetic. That makes sense. For a local event, just notify the locals. Still, I wouldn't have minded knowing about the party so I could share in the excitement. Can't wait for the general release.

Re: Spectrum 52 & Spectrum EDGE Playing Cards U.S.P.C.C.

Cosmo, I like ALL the solid colors! To tell the truth, the multi-color backs were never a big selling point for me. The Edge back design is so elegant and flowing that it alone was enough for me to back the deck. If anything, the multi-colors take away from the back design. I hope you do produce one...

MagikFingerz, I want to pick up your Edge EB but I've already pledged $9 for the Edge. How do I add a second $8 Edge reward?

What's the Deal with Tuck Boxes?

Dear friends, I am very new to collecting cards. I've noticed here on UC that there is a lot of discussion about tuck boxes. For me, in my current ignorant state, a tuck box is just container to keep the cards from being lost. While some are nice looking, I'm more interested in the cards themselves....

Greetings from Northern California

Hello all. I've been a Cardist for all of two months now. I used to do magic when I was in high school (even worked professionally a couple of summers) but probably haven't even touched a deck of cards in thirty-five years. This summer I watched some of the Penn and Teller shows that seemed to be ev...
