Re: ERDNASE

I backed the movie via kickstarter and it dropped in the post this week.

Had a first watch and enjoyed it. Very slick and production values very high.

Nothing new to followers of this thread but did make some characters come alive .

Very enjoyable.

Re: Announcement regarding new Steve Forte book

The value of this book to the “magic” world considering Steve Forte is a gambling sleight of hand expert cannot be overstated.

I hope he reprints... he deserves to... I’ve asked for my copy signed. This is a book that will be forever in my collection.

I cannot wait.

If you have a Genii sub, head over to the archives and read The Erdnase Letters (from the 80s and 90s).

Those are the ones I have. The first one is no longer available, I think. Yes I have those too. I know Penguin have the Elite cards now which are a little softer than the Turner deck but are also traditional cut?

Re: Wanted - Richard Turner's Bee Playing Cards

He mentioned he was down to the last few hundred thousand decks and that would be the last printing? He wasn’t selling Bee backs at all as Quentin says. I wonder if he is holding the Bees back as he uses them himself?
