Superhandz Warz... not just against magicians
De’vo loves to go on about how the wars were important for identifying the art as being separate from magic, for not being belittled by magicians, for paving the way for so many new manipulators. Now keep in mind, my introduction to this art was actually through De’vo and so I’m very grateful to him for that. But what he conveniently fails to mention is that these wars were not...
Playing games... is research!
I’m getting a bunch of demos in the Xbox 360 Marketplace… under the pretense of research for my game :) Of course I also realize my game’s never going to come to the amazing graphical/audio/everything standards these multi-million dollar productions have, but it’s still fun.

Pretty neat and unexpected. My nearly two year old video “ONE“ was posted on the front page of iTricks, a long-standing magic blog. Thanks!

Still getting back into it
While in airports over the last 2 weeks I had a lot of time to do nothing but either read or mess around with the cards. I’ve come up with a few new things finally again… one or two of which you may have already seen even though you didn’t quite realize it. Soon I’ll have a lot more time to keep getting back into it. I’ve been playing most recently with variations and...
Need to make a friends/link list
Save for whatever/whoever I talk about in a given post, there’s no good way to see a list of other sites you should visit related to cardistry, which I think is pretty important thing that’s missing from here. Not to mention, there’s even no link to the Cardistry FAQ on the front page! Also, I’m starting to feel like redoing/updating the design again, which is funny because...
