Looks cool and looks indeed a more protective design than the typical card guard. I hope this is not inappropriate to mention here, but I have been thinking about a 'better card guard' for several years. I wrote about this in my newsletter. My own solution goes into a very different direction than your vault and the traditional card guard. My main problem with the standard card guard, and I am afraid your vault doesn't change that, is that it only works for a standard deck. It doesn't protect a deck that is short of cards and it also does not protect a deck that is loaded with additional cards. So unless you have your standard deck you are pretty much out of luck. My solution to this problem are the Shuber Plates. They give up a bit in protection but gain a huge amount in flexibility. One can protect anything from a single card up to two decks, plus a load of other possibilities and uses. More on the Shuber Plates can be found here http://www.lybrary.com/shuber-plates-p-132659.html How to make your own pocket card press with it you can see here http://www.lybrary.com/the-many-uses-of-......-17.html Totally inappropriate post. Terribly crass actually, very low brow. Posting here, as you have makes you appear to be lacking in some extremely fundamental social (and internet) graces.

It will certainly add to the wonder and bewilderment left on a spectator as they frustrate over what they just experienced with IR. Cool stuff, Jamie! Chris- swing and miss with that post. Not winning.

Jamie D. Grant V.I.P. as seen in Ripley's Believe It or Not! Twice! 2415 Posts	Posted: Jan 18, 2012 04:51 pm 0 Here's some updates! I received some brass so we've got a final material prototype. Now I just have to carry it in my pocket for a month and see how it wears. In the meantime, we're working on metalworking the die (this is the expensive part) to make sure the dimensions are exact for each one. And then there's the finish (which is a surprise but will look awesome!!!) Front It's starting to look like a Vault now that it's in brass! I love the IR cutouts (even for just a regular deck!) Back Just enough space, via the thumb/index finger slot, to know which deck is on there, lol! The Stand Working on a table? It's fairly easy to stand up a prediction card! I'll check back in a couple of weeks and see how it's wearing down (the material, not the deck. The deck test can't be done until the die is made).

magicuncle Regular user Elgin, IL 126 Posts	Posted: Jan 19, 2012 10:36 pm 0 I got the IR from you at Live and love it. I will definitely be placing an order for a vault. My mind has already began to process some routines for standard decks too. This has possibilities! Thanks againd Jamie for another fine product. - Brian

I don't mind waiting for something this awesome. Thanks for the update though! Most appreciated! My B-day is next week actually on the 25th so no matter day it comes, I'm gonna celebrate the rest of the month once my IR arrives!
Jamie D. Grant V.I.P. as seen in Ripley's Believe It or Not! Twice! 2415 Posts	Posted: Feb 8, 2012 08:15 pm 0 Quick update! I'm happy with how the Vault is protecting the box! I'm not too sure how much it's keeping them flat (I know that's a priority for some) but it's doing the job I made it for rather well (stabilizing the box and looking cool!). Next step is to see if I can make the image on the brass look good (still a surprise as to what it's going to be). Thanks for letting me show you guys this stuff! It's fun to be able to let people in on the process! ~jamie TRICK OF THE YEAR: Industrial Revelation, BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Approach, The AIP Bottle, and my new book Scenic 52, can all be found over here: SendWonder.com Kindness takes practice.

eSamuels Inner circle 3081 Posts	Posted: Feb 8, 2012 08:41 pm 0 Saw the prototype this week.....this thing is bulletproof - literally, it can stop a bullet! *QUALIFIER TO THIS POST* Please note that firing a weapon at a deck of cards is not a good idea and should never be done, unless under the direct supervision of a camera crew, catering/food services, and at least a half-dozen magic consultants (oh, and only in Vegas). In other words, I got in a lot of trouble for testing my theory Mentalist/Speaker http://www.MentalismTools.com/

Sammy J. Inner circle Castle Rock, Colorado 1785 Posts	Posted: Feb 8, 2012 10:57 pm 0 Very cool looking, but if it is used to house an IR deck isn't it just adding more weight to an already "hefty" prop? Sammy Sammy J. Teague

Sammy Didn't get to edit this post because Jeff posted behind it immediately. My comment was just regarding using it to house an IR deck. If not used for that, I see applications for it's use.

Jamie D. Grant V.I.P. as seen in Ripley's Believe It or Not! Twice! 2415 Posts	Posted: Feb 9, 2012 09:58 pm 0 Hiya Sammy! I originally designed it for those who have an IR and toss it in their bag (where it can bounce around a bit). Just as something cool to help protect the box, with the option of performing IR while it's still in the Vault. I love it so much, though, that I've been using it for my regular deck as well! I need to make some more prototypes, lol. And our test to see if the paisley print would work on a brass plate came out so well today (this was our secret design)!! We did half brown/half black to see which one we like better before we try it on the prototype. Which one do you guys like better? Black is on the left/brown is on the right. So excited, jamie TRICK OF THE YEAR: Industrial Revelation, BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Approach, The AIP Bottle, and my new book Scenic 52, can all be found over here: SendWonder.com Kindness takes practice.
