Buck have updated their myspace profile pic revealing the look of their ’ Joker (Doker?).

It’s the guy with the hat we already saw in their website but notice the subtle shape the wands form… It looks like a capital N to me.

What we are really looking forward to see are the backs and the ace of spades, but you know we’ll have to wait, in the Cardistry industry patience is a key factor, everyone knows that.

The image is just a cheap photoshop edit from a ’s picture of his Jerry’s Nuggets i made. It’s not like he’s into hand modeling or anything but maybe he should reconsider it.

What do you think?

Black “Jerry’s Nugget” Playing Cards Reprint

Loading ... Loading ...

As stated in www.PlayingCardCollectors.com.

Some people thought they would never be reprinted again but Michael claims that he somehow managed to get a small lot of them in black color from the USPCC. Isn’t this against any copyright law?

I’m not sure if the stock and finish is the same as the original but i doubt it, though they seem to fan pretty much like the original ones…

As he said they’ll be sold at in plastic boxes.

Thanks to Michael Herp for this video and for making the reprint possible.

Kevin Ho - Smooth Operations

Tools, Inventions and Applications for the Modern Card Magician.

Introducing the card and flourishes of , Smooth Operations is a 60 page book explaining an array of new material for both the curious student and seasoned pro. Over a hundred photo illustrations in full color provides an enjoyable learning experience.

Kevin is a rising young Singapore-based magician with some serious talent. As a flourisher, he’s already earned a reputation as one of the best. His style is fresh, ultra smooth, and extremely visual. And his is no different. Learn 5 effects, 4 sleights, 3 productions and 2 flourishes in 1 kick ass manual on card .

Step into a world of visual madness and experience the unexpected.

CONTENTS:

PUNK’D:
This version of Re-Set is simple, instant, and leaves you completely clean. Imagine two four-of-a-kinds, like the four Aces and four Jacks, instantly changing places with each other, and then back again moments later.

STATIC 4
:
A quick and easy four Ace production that’s perfect for getting into any of your four card routines. It’s also one of Kevin’s favorites.

INVERSE IMPULSE:
A very magical looking one-handed color change that can be continuously repeated.

LONG DIVISION:
This clever routine is fun to do and gets killer reactions.

A card is produced, equaling the value of two spectatorsí chosen . This single card is then visually ìstretchedî into a long card, which the spectators help split into their respective selections.

PEGASUS:
An insane production of any four-of-a-kind that will blow your audience away. (Includes an alternate version.)

FLORIDA COUNT + PCP:
I guess you could say it’s a rhythm count…on acid. Very flashy, very visual, very cool.

This is definitely one of our favorite effects. It’s fast, visual, direct, and allows you to showcase beautiful sleight of hand.

PCP:
Four Jacks are counted between your hands as they seem to visually change into the four Aces. (Note: If you’re tired of the remark, “Do that again”, this is not the to do.)

CHASER:
The magician offers to demonstrate different aspects of sleight of hand. What follows is a fast-paced sequence of appearing, teleporting, changing, and transposing with each other in a casual, yet highly visual manner.

RACCOON:
Imagine a card spinning atop the deck 540 degrees to infinity. This cool little flourish is so neat and original, it has to be seen.

COLLECTORS: REDUX:
In the process of finding three spectators’ selections, the four Queens (or any four-of-a-kind) are found in an insanely chaotic and visual way that only Kevin would think of.

VISA SWITCH:
This very cool switch is open for many, many applications, of which Kevin supplies two. However, I’m sure after a little experimenting, youíll have applied it to numerous ideas of your own. All around, itís a fun little move to play with.

FULLY LOADED:
In this effect, Kevin explains how a deck of can be a deadly weapon with not only the ability to shoot single out of the deck, but also to produce a four-of-a-kind (Okay, it’s a really cool ace production with some fun patter.).

CONSPIRACY OF FOUR:
An extremely visual and fun handling of a classic plot.

The magician offers to find a four-of-a-kind other than the four Aces. All goes well until the fourth and final production - it’s an Ace. However, within the blink of an eye, the other three instantly turn into the other three Aces, forming a complete four-of-a-kind after all.

BOB CHANGE
:
With a light shake, a card held in the magician’s hand instantly turns into another card.

A very clever and in-your-face take on the well-known Shapeshifter change.

REPAINTED:
A blank fan of is seen. With a quick wave, the faces of the visually appear. The method is so obvious itís hard to believe no one has ever thought of this before. An instant classic in my book.

clipshiftIt’s been official for quite a while now but for those of you that don’t read ’s newsletter (sign up if you didn’t!), is going to teach his underground sleight of hand masterpiece: the .

You saw it in the Queen’s performance inside the Trilogy (the last vanish), it’s also in the Blackpool 2008 video as a color change performed by my friend Jordan Lapping, you also saw it in “Dan at the convention” as well as in many other underground all around the scene.

And now it is going to be taught to anyone willing to pay for the dvd!

Expect hundreds of youtube vids showing it, expect not being able to fool your favourite oldschool magician in town…

Come on Chad, call it off, be a worst magician and come up with some other average stuff but keep this underground, it is too good to be shared to the public!

Here are my 2 cents. Use it as your avatar in the forums or whatever you want, we must Save the !

To all the card artists around the world… DON’T BUY !!! :P
