"Hail Christmas."

You've got me thinking with my deck.

Magicians and card collectors can take their cards very seriously. I can find you essays that compare the handling of different brands of cards for fanning, special shuffles, etc. People discuss the way the finish or cut of cards has changed. It's really only of interest, though, if you are doing very demanding sleight of hand.

If you watch something like this, you can see why some people are very concerned with the minutiae of how cards look and handle:

Better hand them out for Thanksgiving...before DOOMSDAY !

I'd get them for Christmas presents but what's the point?

Some conflicting information, no?

Who wants to see Woot make these cards disappear?

You can pretty much tell the price of these going up throughout the year, then crashing down on Dec 21st.

Heh... the best way to enjoy a magician is to smile and agree to be lied to.

Got my order in!...Harold Camping would have been proud.

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

Yes, but are they waterproof, so I can wash the apocalypse blood off of them?

Can I just have one of the jokers?

I have a pack (paid more for them). 3 for $12 is a good deal. THey are high quality Bicycle cards with extra cards for magicians - a double back card and a blank card. It's got the nice bicycle finish on them too. The faces are standard bicycle faces.

How's the finish on this? is it plain old air flow or something else?

I kind of like the fact that they come with gaffs, I just need tricks with them( I hardly use gaffs in my performances)

Like those Y2K Survival Kits they sold on TV? Guaranteed for 3 months, they stopped selling them before the end of September 1999.
