We don’t normally post other people’s reviews of things here, but this DTCM product review of the Karnival Dose deck is hilarious! You can read our own review here.
Just a quickie today. If you have a spare few minutes, visit Trickshop.com and click on their ‘Specials’ page. You will have the chance to watch a wonderful video of the incomparable Fred Kaps performing ‘The Homing Card’ – a masterclass in performance. And then you can download a .pdf explaining the original handling of the effect for free. Loads of other strong card magic and mentalism also available at Trickshop.com.
We have been updating our Cheapest Bicycle Card finder and have a new situation we have never had before. Joint winners! Two different dealers come in at £2.50 for a single deck. As ever, you may be able to get better prices by buying in larger quantities.
We’re pleased to have discovered another new UK supplier of Bicycle Cards. At ThinkPink Magic, a deck is only £2 (with free p&p) – and they also offer deals for multiple decks. They also stock the lovely Erdnase Decks and Bicycle Guardians, amongst others. You can follow the link from our Cheapest Bicycle Card Finder page.
I was just updating our Cheapest Bicycle Card Finder (which deals with regular Bicycle Poker size decks) and I noticed that MA Pro Magic have got a very good price on Bicycle Raiders. At only £3.10 a deck that is about the cheapest I have seen them in the UK. The Raiders are certainly a very striking design. Check out MA Pro’s full range of Bicycle Cards.
Those folk at Merchant of Magic just can’t help themselves… They are offering another free magic goodie bag with any order – just use the code ‘goodybag‘ when you place your order.
All sorts of cool stuff is up for grabs – including White Star, Invisible Reality by Peter Eggink, Omni Deck, Vortex by Tom Stone, Inked DVD, Migration DVD, Unholy by Jay Sankey, Harmony Coins Set, DUI, How to make a close up table DVD, Ninja Coin Set, Cataclysm by Brian Caswell, WoW 2.0 Face Up, Mastermind 3Hearts (Red Bicycle), Loads of Bicycle Playing Cards, Loads of Mandolin Playing Cards, Hawk 2.0.
As regular readers will know, I continue to be a great fan of good Magic Books, and so I am delighted to point you in the direction of Martin Breese – who stocks (and publishes) some excellent stuff. As I was perusing his site earlier I noticed a ‘free trick’ by Peter Duffie (this is a regular feature on Martin’s site) – and the current one is a really neat and self-working idea which is themed on Sherlock Holmes. It strikes me this may be very topical at the moment with the BBC’s recent series. Just follow the link to ‘Free Trick’ on the Martin Breese website. Enjoy…

Just over a year ago we mentioned the availability of this most unusual of ornaments – a genuine pack of Bicycle Cards sealed in a glass bottle. At the time they were only occasionally available in the UK, but now Phil Evans has set up a new site ImpossibleBottle.co.uk where you can purchase one of these wonderful things. What could be more magical than a pack of cards in a bottle?!
