the weirdest thing happened to me just now. i was showing a simple assembly trick to a friend, which involved the 16 royals. i picked them up, gave them a shuffle and put them back down in order. and all i had was 15 cards! ...i looked everywhere in my room, and i couldnt find the Ace of diamonds. and i woulda noticed if i dropped the card or something. creepy huh?

haha lol.... now that's real magic my friend :).

During my walk in magic i also lost cards along the way and i dunno where they disappear to. they just do at times. lol

Hahaha.......... Ed Marlo also the same case as you all which when he performed the rising card effect.

The card shooted up and lost which he never noticed and when he perform the effect, strangely enough, the card has never rise from the deck. ^_^

Andrew

heya andrew ur from the magic place at berjaya times square right? i'm thinking of going there in the afternoon today. just to look at some stuff. i need to make a price listing. :)

Hey, you guys know that the humble playing cards all originated from the minor arcana of the Tarot deck right? ^_^ I used to read the Tarot for people for quite awhile before I ventured into magic...

Baalan, what happened to you sure was creepy!!!!

haha tell me about it. and then there was the earthquake, which made everything a whole lot creepier.

anyway, went to the magic ring in times sq today. bought a new deck and had this dude do blaines 2CM for me. he was good, he showed a few flourishes and color changes. i wish i was as good as him. sigh.

ning, u should try using your tarot deck for magic.


imagine colour change with tarot cards.

i think it'll look awesome.

baalan, whats tht dude's name? and what deck of card they selling now? any new one ?

i was too segan to ask the guy anything, hehe. i just bought a normal bicycle pack. i didnt really look at the different decks. sorry afoi.

i once lost the queen of spades for a whole month. I checked it every day and recounted it everyday in case i miscounted. I even categorizd them into their respective suits. I asked three of my friends to help me recalculate the amount of cards. Still, the queen of spades was never found.

After one month, the queen of spades returned into the deck...

ps: hey ning, I used to do tarot too...what deck did you use?

Hi folks,

Tarot deck!!!!! :huh: - Yeah right! An interesting topic.

I have been using Universal Tarot Deck and I don't know what things I have to comment about this deck.

This deck is really D*** intuitive and provide accurate reading. Never disappoint me before!

I asked about studies, career, business, etc and it predicted the outcome as well as the general happenings were accurate!

How about you folks that experienced using Tarot deck before???? Would love to hear more from you folks! ^_^

Andrew

wow... mindfreak... ur story is really freaky... but believable.... it happened to me as well quite a while ago. just dunno how the card they can just reappear. but i think we are able to disappear more cards than we can make them reappear lol...

hmmm.... everyone here seem to be on tarot deck eh? can do magic with them? i never want my future to be read by cards and all... i just think its hmmm.. dunno how to say.. scary (if come true?). anyway, just interesting that some of u are into it. do explain more abt them yeah? Are there like different types of tarot cards?

Cheers,
MagicB

For your info guys, the Queen of Spades also known as a 'witch' card. :ph43r:

In reading of prediction in the art of divination, Queen of Spades shown up it's not a good sign!

Andrew

i dont wanna know my fortune so i dont mess with tarots.
I'd like to think that my destiny is mine to forge, not predetermined.

but i do admit tarots would look damn cool if u do magic with em.
spooky.

imagine

picking a bad card, and then saying you can change someone's destiny, and do a colour change ( erdsnay) and a good card appears.

anyone got any routines involving tarot they'd like to post ?

Yeah! I believe this is an ancient art and there are POWERFUL and can't explain them how there work.

If this art is not powerful or accurate, the art will not exist until today.

Andrew

hehe.... last night, while jamming with andrew, he thought he lost his king of spades... hehe... we were like searching for it on the floor , table etc... and nearly gave up... and suddenly andrew shouted "oh there is it..... hahaha. (laughing)... in the card box.... lol"... we were like "phew". hehe...

I still cant imagine how andrew kept his cards in so good condition for 5 year! it looks newer than by 1.5 month old deck... lol...

Cheers,
MagicB

Hi MagicB,

To tell you the truth, the King of Spades played and tricked me quite many times already.

As you can see, each time when I am going back to my home, I will count the cards as to make sure there are 52 cards before I go home.

So, each time when I keep my deck, sure ONE card will missing out of 6 times whether at home or outside, the KING OF SPADES. :ph43r:

Sometimes, it hides in my book, under my mat, my pocket and sometimes on my hand (I am not aware sometimes). :wacko:

Funny, isn't it???? :huh:

Andrew

andrew

tell the king of spades if he does that again, you'll fire him and replace him with another from another deck. ;)

Hi Rainking,

Yeah! Like the Apprentice show, Donald Trump fire those people not competitive in the game.

Me not only fire the KS but also will tell him end up will be using him to perform some T&R card effect. :P

Andrew

haha... nvm andrew... u just tell KS that u will tear him up for a moment and then will restore him back. Just as long as he does not mind having some wrinkles (criss) eheehe...

Well try this: for some reason, I always miss ONE card from my bike bridge size deck. So the deck only has 51 cards (i lost the jokers and the two promo cards). I lost an ace, and when I found it, I counted through the whole deck and it was still 51 just for me to discover that I lost the five of diamonds. Some weeks later, I found the 5 of diamonds but then I lost 3 of spades, and this has been happening 2 more times after that!

I have no clue what's up with the number 51... but I'm now pretty sure it means something. The age I die? The number of wives I'm going to have?

You'll never know!

u want 51 wives? i cant even handle 1 girlfriend hahaha.

haha.... u guys funny la... lol...

im sure every magician/flourisher will tend to loose their card once in a while. i used to get so frustrated when i loose even one card out of the deck but im so used to it now that ill just go nevermind la... heehe. i mean not all card magic needs the whole 52 cards in a deck.

Besides, if u loose even 2 or more cards, u can still do ya flourishes and can still do ya springs and flips. lol...
