Save them and make your own Rainbow Deck. Also, with all of those cards you could do Nick Trost's Rainbow Miracle or Lennart Green's "variant" Stolen Cards.

Thanks again Guys!!!

Vlad, I must admit that I'm very impressed about your knowledge in magic. I read many threads here in the Magic Café since the last years and you always have something very interesting to tell or add to a thread. I really appreciate all the insights and references that you gave us. But may I ask you a question ? How many magic books do you own or have read in your life ? And you probably have a very good memory to retain everthing you've read...

Regards,

Mike

Mike,

Wow thank you so very much for the kind words! I have learned so much from so many here that I just try to give back when/if I can. I am a musician also but magic is my true passion. As far as books, I've never counted the number I own. I love studying the classics most and I am really enamored with magic periodicals. There are real treasures there. Also, I have had the privilege of working for three magic shops and as a demonstrator, I had to learn as much as I could every day. I think that is where the memory thing comes in. Smile That said, there are people here that just blow me away with their encyclopedic knowledge of magic. Etienne is one such example Mike. His posts are legendary and have repeatedly caused me to go back and find treasures in my own library.

You are a mere 8 posts away from accessing Secret Sessions on The Café, Mike. Once you get access, check out some amazing threads there including Etienne's series on false counts, Hideo Kato's "Today's Finding," a thread called Howdy Diddits, and thanks to many here, two threads I started, one called Book Gems and the other named Classic Periodicals. Not tooting my own horn here but the participation in these two threads has been out of the universe - sorry Mr. Lorayne but I had to borrow that! There are so many great threads in Secret Sessions that the problem will be where to begin! But oh what a nice problem to have. Smile

Again thank you so very much for those kind words! I might also suggest you read posts from folks like Magicfish, Fonda57, Dr. JK, Pepka, Doomo, Kent Gunn, Steven Keyl, Bill Palmer, Turk, Barry Fernelius, Motown, MB217, Tim Feher, and Glenn Morphew. This isn't an all-inclusive list, but V.I.P.s aside, these guys blow me out of the water in terms of knowledge. Also, avail yourself of Vinny Marini's posts. His magic is really unique and Vinny is generous to a fault.

See you in Secret Sessions and I hope soon Mike!

Best,
Vlad

Your equation is MY favorite one. This equation is full of magic; every element of this equation is fondamental in our math universe.

I agree. I am a newbie in the café, but it seems there is a number of mathematically-inclined people here.

Ever think of doing a wall tapestry with your cards ?
The existence of tricks does not imply the absence of magic.
