XCM vs Magic “Warz” artwork by De’vo

De’vo released a limited edition painting about a battle between magicians and xtreme card manipulators. There are only 200 copies of it and it comes in a 36×20 format.
The whole thing reminded me of the old days when I used to play Magic The Gathering, the trading card game.
You can see Jerry Cestkowski, Ciappi, a guy with a black cloak and a dagger doing a cobra cut that seems to be De’vo and some other Superhandz/Handlordz icons there.

“For those wondering what is the “Superhandz Warz”?
- it is a period of time that we stood up against magicians to recognize XCM as it’s own art form. It spanned several years and took place on many fronts – DVDs(CTG/Cobra), magazine interviews(Genii), the internet/videos (Death Before Me anyone?lol) and even in person at conventions and magic clubs across the country. It ended a couple of years ago and paved way for flourishers/manipualtors/XCMers to do what they please without being constantly badgered by magicians… sure, there are still some old heads – old and crustys out there that will never change, but the general climate for manipulators is much nicer than it used to be! There was a time when we couldn’t do anything without being yelled at by magicians, being called jugglers and so on but that has pretty much subsided with a few exceptions. Now there are pure XCM sections of magic stores, XCM forums, XCM Competitions, a market for this kind of manipulation, XCM sections in magazines, XCM products, an XCM radio show and a ton of XCM videos and artists!”
