Then I noticed that B&N Press put my book up for sale - Pre-Order at $7.44!! This is their default for books - PreOrder at $7.44. There can be some hiccups, sure, but history shows there is little to worry about regarding USPCC changing drastically.So I ordered my Proof, which is still in the delivery process. I find that in general they are very positive. I've been part of a couple of mergers and/or acquisitions in my career. Meanwhile, the company would itself be acquired several times during its history: starting with Diamond International in 1969, Jessup & Lamont in 1982, Frontenac in 1989, and then a return to self-ownership in 1994 before finally becoming a subsidiary of Jarden which was in turn acquired by Newell. USPCC has been bought out several times in recent years. The important thing is that just because USPCC has been acquired, it doesn't mean that anything necessarily will change. It is still expected to be complete by the end of the year. Yes, the agreement to purchase USPCC "in principle" still requires regulatory approval and that take a while. all my trick decks are red bikes, so to stay consistent I never change it up They were second printings that didn't include the gaff cards, but instead had extra add cards.īut for performing magic? I Never ever use custom cards. They don't have to know that you can still put "work" into their cards to enable you to do certain things.Īs far as I know Cartamundi has not taken control of USPCC yet - the deal was supposed to close at the end of the yearīranded Theory 11 cards have been in retail stores for at least a year, places like target and barnes and noble, but I can remember 3 or 4 years ago seeing unbranded T11 decks at my local grocery store. The only "surefire" way to combat it is to do like Harry and only use borrowed decks. Not that they even know what "trick" cards are! I agree that sophisticated spectators will always suspect that a magician is using or might be using trick cards. It's interesting and will reduce the heat, I think. I intend to use the Jerry Nuggets story when I use that deck. Sometimes the card backs can make interesting patter. I guess the popularity of Holdem changed that. I can recall arguments that poker size cards were immediately questionable, as the cards the layman used were always bridge size. Once they built bunches of stores and put them in grocery stores, nobody cared and they BK'd (of course, cooking the books didn't help).Ī magicians deck of cards is always suspect - period. While they were somewhat hard to get, they were very special. So to anyone that might still wonder what is going to happen now that Cartamundi owns USPCC, I don't think you have much to worry about. Not only Theory11, but all sorts of "specialty" Bicycle cards. Then yesterday I was in Walgreen's and noticed this:
13 STEPS TO MENTALISM BARNES AND NOBLE FULL
I think all of them were $9.95 or something like that, same as full retail on .Īround that same time I noticed the same thing going on at Barnes & Noble Books. Then about a year ago I was in Target and saw a display box with a variety of cards from Theory11. Same for Walmart, but Walmart never seemed to have much that interested me. I would make it a point to stop and look in the toy section when I was in a Target. So some time ago I noticed that Target had begun to occasionally have some "specialty" Bicycle cards for sale.
