Dan and Dave – Preqel Tutorial + Contest!

TheCuso — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 17:02:35 +0000

Preqel (yes, that’s the correct spelling) is the precursor to our Pandora flourish taught on The Trilogy DVD set. Both of them performed together make a remarkable piece of visual art.

Preqel, by itself, opens the doors to many applications and acts as a great foundation to create your own card flourish routines. Expect to see some neat alternate endings posted in the coming months. Finally, special thanks to Kevin Ho for creating several of the cardanical movements used throughout.

We offer this tutorial + contest to our fans as a way to say thanks for all your support. For more tutorials on Card Magic and Flourishes visit us at Dan and Dave.

////////////////// CONTEST DETAILS///////////////////////////

1. Best performance of Preqel® = Signed Copy of The Trilogy Box set.

2. Best performance of Preqel® + Pandora = complete set of Smoke & Mirrors, v1 – v4 (7 Decks total).

3. Best 90 second flourish video* = A signed set of Jerry’s Nugget Playing Cards. (Red & Blue) + a signed copy of our new DVD available in limited supply and not yet released online.

*Make a video using all the card flourishes you know. Skill, however, is not the only thing you need for this one. We want to see creative demonstrations in editing, graphics, and music. The video must be exactly 90 seconds or it will be disqualified.

→ ALL entries must be new creations, meaning you can’t submit an existing video.
→ All entries must be sent via a “video response” to this video and are due no later than July 16th.

The winning videos will be posted to the homepage of .thecuso – a premiere source for all things Card Flourishes & Cardistry.

Cheers & Good Luck,

Dan and Dave

Michael Herp – Raw: The Return of the Black Jerry’s Nuggets

TheCuso — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:05:15 +0000

“Today in cardistry, you are looked down upon as a ‘noob’ for using a ‘custom’ deck. Liking Vipers or Black Tigers is out of the question and people nowadays are labeled by what kind of deck they use rather than by their skill. I am here to break that idea. Black Jerry’s have returned.”

Jerry’s Nugget Playing Cards Secret

TheCuso — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:08:15 +0000

A couple of months ago Lee Asher told me he had some “underground” projects going on and he told me I was going to be part of them. Today he has released exclusively through TheCuso.info this little teaser revealing a great secret about the Jerry’s Nugget cards. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come so stay tuned for more info from Asher here, at TheCuso.info.

Originally printed in Cincinnati, Ohio, by the US Playing Card Company, these playing cards were made for the Jerry’s Nugget casino gaming tables. No one really knows when they were printed. UNTIL NOW!

The box is the hidden key that unlocks the secret to when the decks were actually printed.

In 2008, sophisticated counterfeiters super-saturated Ebay and the world market with fake Jerry’s Nugget playing cards. Even they had NO IDEA about this secret.

If it wasn’t for Lee Asher, the exact year of when Jerry’s Nugget cards were printed would have gone unknown.

Prepare. Authentic Jerry’s Nugget Playing cards are coming to LeeAsher.com very soon. Be there.

How to REALLY get Jerry’s Nuggets for one dollar a deck.

TheCuso — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:42:38 +0000

Along these years into cardistry I have discovered that most magicians and card guys have a little flaw in their brains that make them fall for any kind of HOAX specially if it’s seasoned with some “hype” powder.

If you are one of those forum addicts that spend more time trash-talking or tweeting about random stuff then you have probably heard about the “One Dollar Jerry’s Nugget’s” Dan and Dave Buck have put up in their store.

I got emails and private messages of people asking if I knew anything about it and all I did was to laugh at them, out loud.

Guys, the only place you will ever be able to get close to a deal like that is at eBay, but you have to be clever, i got myself a sealed deck for no more than 50 bucks a while ago and now I’m going to show you how…

If you are an average eBay user and lets say you want to buy a deck of Jerry’s Nuggets you would go to eBay and search for Jerry’s Nugget Cards or even Jerry’s Nugget Playing Cards.

If you were a more experienced user you would just type in Jerry’s Nugget or rather Jerry Nugget giving you more chances to find your desired auction.

But here is what professional eBay users do to find the real deals: Look for typos.

The next time that you go to eBay try the following:

Jerrys Nugget
Jerrys Nuggets
Jerrys Nugets
Jerrys Nuget
Jerry Nuget

Most of the times you won’t find any listed item with those keywords but trust me when I say it worked for me. All you need is time, patience and some hope for stupid people to sign up at eBay to sell their playing cards.

It will help if you check the “Worldwide” option, this way your chances to stumble upon these typos will increase dramatically, and remember that this works for any kind of product so be creative and never give up.

If you are not the kind of guy that likes to take risks then you might be interested in Lee Asher‘s next big thing. He is going to sell authentic Jerry’s Nugget decks in his online store. Of course they won’t be $1 but it surely be the safest way on Earth to get the right ones. Stay tuned for more info from Asher coming soon to TheCuso’s.

Authentic Jerry’s Nugget cards for sale at Lee Asher’s

TheCuso — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 17:29:26 +0000

Eugene, Oregon. December 31, 2008
Lee Asher yesterday officially announced that in the coming year (2009) he will be selling a limited number of vintage Jerry’s Nugget decks. In conjunction with the owner of the world’s largest Jerry’s Nugget playing card reserve, a deal has been struck which will guarantee LeeAsher.com is the only place in the world you can purchase authentic Jerry’s Nugget decks. Once the limited amount of rare decks sell out, there will be no more for sale. While no final date has been released, Asher states he is finalizing a few ‘amenities’ that will accompany the cards before announcing an actual date, price, or total number of decks for sale.

Originally printed in Cincinnati, Ohio, by the US Playing Card Company, these playing cards were custom-made in 1970 for the North Las Vegas casino – Jerry’s Nugget. The now highly-prized playing card eventually sold out in the early summer of 1999. Jerry’s Nugget Casino does not have any plans to reprint the cards, nor could they recreate the process to make them again.

In mid-2008, sophisticated counterfeiters super-saturated Ebay and the world market with fake Jerry’s Nugget playing cards. Random videos starting appearing on youtube from upset buyers. Purchasing genuine decks proved to be a difficult task. While the illegal versions look remarkably genuine, most playing card experts can easily tell the difference because the fake decks are made from cheap cardboard.

Within recent times, the XCM and flourishing community have taken a liking to these pasteboards as well.

For more information about these cards and when they will be available to the public, please visit http://www.leeasher.com

White Centurions or a brick of Jerry’s Nuggets?

TheCuso — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:41:09 +0000

Andrei Jikh contacted me to remind that the auction for his personal White Centurions deck is ending within today so dont miss the chance to get a piece of history signed by the man that is revolutionizing the cardistry scene.

This is what he told me:

“In addition, I will provide one Las Vegas Club Special or one Brown Wynn Deck upon request, both of which are extremely limited and rare. Decks will also be signed upon request, contact me at jikhvladimir@yahoo.com”.

Right now they’re pretty affordable at $26 the lot. Here is the link to the auction: WHITE CENTURIONS BY ANDREI JIKH

PTV, a well known eBay seller has listed an unsold brick of Jerry’s Nugget decks, the last he has in stock. You don’t usually get the chance to see so many Jerry’s Nuggets listed at the same time so take advantage of it while you can, the higher supply the lower prices.

Bidding starts at $1000 which makes the decks $83 each, SEALED!. A bargain, isn’t it?
Here is the link to the auction: UNSOLD BRICK Of 12 DECKS JERRY NUGGETS CARDS

Where will you spend your saved bucks before the summer ends?

You can check out our PlayingCardCollectors.com forum for more good deals.
