Icon10 16570 Ft. Ellusionist

Thought I'd share this cool shot I took a while back...

One of my hobbies is sleight of hand card magic & general cardistry. Anyone else?

I have dabbled in card magic and enjoyed learning, but just didn't have enough opportunities to practice on a live audience. A deck of cards is quite amazing really.

Great picture btw and good luck with the magic!

Another cardist... awesome! I took a few photos with my Seadweller and a Madison Kings deck from E. Would love to post here but my photos always say too big. I learnt the sybil but some of the stuff I have seen from the virts guys is just insanely beautiful. Much like the watches on here.

Great photo. I can't shuffle a deck of cards without them winding up on the floor.

It's a pretty fun and rewarding hobby...plus, it's much cheaper than watches. Try to practice in front of a mirror, that works wonders.

That's awesome man! Try resizing the pictures using the "tools" option on preview. It would be great to see some shots of that- Love the Madison decks!! I took some classes in San Antonio, Texas with Rolando Medina and Kostya Kimlat, that started my love for magic-they're incredibly talented...

I can even take your socks off without removing your shoes.

Most people can't, so don't worry.

Judging by that signature, it looks like they've mastered the art of making your money disappear into thin air.
