Not a bad idea. As for Kalix's question, I believe Rick addresses that and he basically says it's never been an issue for him.
One of the pieces does not exactly look "kosher", but I'm not sure a lay person would notice. Robert |

My order for this is in...I've watched the tutorial and it looks like a winner, I love effects that leave you plenty of time to concentrate on your performance, which for me is fantastic because I don't have the showmanship and confidence that's needed to be a top magician, so if I have the chance to do something that I really love to do with props that are easy to handle but still amaze your spectators then that's a bonus....I wish I could learn to be a showman and have loads of confidence but eventhough I am now 47 years old and have been into magic since I was 8 years old it feels like I will never be able to achive the things I want in the field of this beautiful art.

Refills are now available at Penguin. A 3 pack with each deck containing 56 cards enough for 28 performances cost $29.95.

I really like the effect, method and "working". The clean up at the ending is wonderful. I think the only drawback is the back design. I prefer taking (fo****g) them out of the deck to strengthen the impression of random cards. So I will purchase some maidens.
Some had problems to justify the tear up. Some ideas for patter: "Mates (neighbours / friends) are connected beyond their life....What happens at the end of a card life? They are shreded...still their mate in mind ...and hand" |

Kevin. Are you adding on postage, international and also customs, post office charges?

One deck, un-boxed and flat packed would perhaps be better for international customers.

These are just two pieces of card that have transposed, no more impossible than a signed card. Also, I love how Penguin shows discounts from list prices on its own products... |

They will keep those pieces and tell the story over and over to their friends about the time the magician made a card change in their hands, like they tell their friends "I opened my hands and there were like a hundred little bunnies that came out" I love penguin too |

Penguin offers many ways to get free or discounted shipping options and are exploring more all the time. If we could eliminate import duties we would, but that's not in our control.
