<p>The Silver Acorn deck is the same exceptional quality of the regular edition.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://conjuringarts.org/store/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3770" title="Montage of Black and Silver" src="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Montage-of-Black-and-Silver.jpg" alt="" width="588" height="343" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We are very proud to introduce the latest deck in our Erdnase 1902 line of playing cards. It may likely be the last release of this excellent series, and it is a wonderful and fitting finale. Similar to the exquisite Red and Gold Acorn deck, which sold out almost instantaneously upon release last year, this new deck features Guy Hollingworth&#8217;s wonderful Acorn back design with a black back and metallic silver details. It is a beautiful deck!</p>
<p><a href="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/Mnemonica-Fan.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3809" title="Mnemonica Fan" src="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/Mnemonica-Fan-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>As usual, we have spared no expense and the quality of these cards is amazing. They are on the best card stock and made to handle superbly. We have also had them fashioned in both Ivory (Smooth) and Cambric (Embossed) finishes to suit your personal card handling preferences as well as to provide numerous opportunities for exceptionally subtle deception! Additionally, for those that use Juan Tamariz&#8217;s Mnemonica, the deck comes ready to go into stack with nothing more than a simple cut! We have had the cards printed in Mnemonica order and cut so the Ace of Spades is in the front. Accordingly, when you remove the deck, everything seems to be in order, when in reality, you are only one cut away from one of the most potent and versatile subterfuges magic has to offer.</p>
<p>These new cards are made in very limited quantities and will not be reprinted.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Reverse-Black-and-Silver-Acorn-Back.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3767" title="Reverse Black and Silver Acorn Back" src="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Reverse-Black-and-Silver-Acorn-Back-218x300.jpg" alt="" width="122" height="168" /></a></strong></p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">FREE BONUS</span></h2>
<h2>Exclusive and Rare SILVER Acorns!!</h2>
<p>As a thank you to our loyal customers we produced a very special Silver Acorn deck (cambric only)! This amazing deck cannot be purchased but you will get one deck <span style="color: #ff0000;">FREE!</span> with every dozen Black Acorns you buy! We only have a few hundred Silver Acorns so this offer is only good while supplies last (Although in the same tuck case as the Black Acorns, these will be identifiable by a small sticker/mark on the cellophane). We promise to never sell Silver Acorns at any price so if you want some you have to get them now (and for FREE)!</p>
<p>Factor in the free decks along with our excellent pricing structure (as low as $2.99 postpaid!), and you have quite a deal! Please see the pricing information below.</p>
<p>Currently we will only be offering these cards to members of the Conjuring Arts Research Center. We thank you very much for your support of our efforts and hope you are finding great value in our resources!

<h2>The finest Bicycles ever printed and for only $2.99/deck!</h2>
<p>Conjuring Arts proudly introduces our new exclusive <strong>Professional Bicycle® Playing Cards</strong> to the magic community. These new Professional Bicycles® may look familiar, but they have been custom designed for discerning card handlers. They feature an unprecedented level of quality along with a handful of clever surprises.</p>
<h3>Details:</h3>
<p>These cards are printed on the highest quality casino stock with USPCC’s finest coating. This makes for a deck that not only feels as good as cards from 10 years ago, but even better. These cards will make many common sleights easier, and certain sleights and flourishes wouldn’t be possible with any other deck.</p>
<p>These decks are arranged similarly to the Spanish, or Fournier, order. It is a natural Stay-Stack or mirror stack and will allow those of you who use Mnemonica to get into stack more quickly than with regular Bicycles.</p>

<td valign="TOP">As with our other cards, users can decide whether they prefer the feel of an <strong>Air Cushion</strong> or <strong>Ivory </strong>finish. Clever magicians will create “sorts” by mixing the two finishes together in one deck. A very powerful secret weapon!</td>

<td valign="TOP"><strong>Three Built-In Revelations</strong>– We have designed <a href="#tips">12 different card boxes.</a> Although they will look the same to your audience, in actuality each reveals three commonly named cards in an unexpected manner. This is a new innovation from Conjuring Arts. One card is revealed on the inside of the box and another is revealed when your spectator calls the number under the bar code. Best of all, your spectators can watch the bar code itself transform into the name of a selected card!</td>

<td valign="TOP"><strong>Classic Tuck Case</strong> &#8211; We have based our card box on the old “Classic” design rather than the current “Standard” box. This design looks more sophisticated and allows magicians to take advantage of the full-size card back printed on the box.</td>

<p>Most importantly, the price. <span style="color: #ff0000;">We have priced these decks to be cheaper than what’s available at the average drug store!</span> Now you can get recognizable playing cards, of the finest quality, with built in secrets, at the best price!</p>

<h3>What magicians are saying:</h3>
<p><em>You have created a new card that is as good as (or better than) some of my favorite old cards.</em> - <strong>Michael Weber<br />
</strong></p>
<p><em>I love these cards and so will you! After three weeks of constant shuffling they still handle great. To date these are the finest quality card on the market.</em> - <strong>Bill Malone<br />
</strong></p>
<p><em>Available in nearly every convenience store across the nation, the Bicycle® brand is recognized as the standard among playing cards. Unfortunately the quality of this deck has diminished to an almost unbearable standard for magicians and it&#8217;s because of this that we are forced to use alternative cards that might seem a bit odd to the viewing audience. The Professional Bicycle® packages everything the Conjuring Arts knows about printing cards, combined with innovative features, inside a classic Bicycle® box. We couldn&#8217;t be more pleased with a deck of playing cards.</em> -<strong> Dan and Dave</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Ask-Alexander-Uncut-Sheet-Banner.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3653" title="Ask Alexander Uncut Sheet Banner" src="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Ask-Alexander-Uncut-Sheet-Banner.jpg" alt="" width="588" height="340" /></a>Our fabulously diabolical Ask Alexander playing cards now available in uncut sheets! These are great for collectors, as they are very limited, or use them as decoration or a conversation piece. Further, the uncut sheets can be used for numerous magic related purposes as the individual cards can be cut to suit a variety of needs.</p>
<p>For example, Guyot in the first book to describe the classic pass, mentions the wide card as being one of the indispensable tools to the conjurer. At that point in time, the quality of playing cards was such that nearly every pack was so poorly cut that you could immediately locate one card whose size was suitably larger than the rest in the deck. However, current cards are pretty uniform (although the superlative Derek DelGaudio&#8217;s sensitive fingers seem to prove otherwise!) and the wide card has fallen into disuse. You can make your own with one of our uncut sheets and breathe fresh life into this extraordinary bit of chicanery. Enjoy!</p>
<p>They are $29.99 postpaid domestically. Shipping elsewhere is $11 for first class mail. Contact Alexis (<a href="mailto:librarian@conjuringarts.org">librarian@conjuringarts.org</a>) for other options.</p>

<p>As a special treat for Halloween, we are releasing uncut sheets of a number of our decks for sale for a limited time! These are what the cards look like before they are cut and work great as display pieces or for other purposes. We had the Erdnaseum sheets, for example, at the Erdnaseum convention and there were a number of people getting them signed by all of the attendees, so a good idea might be to have a sheet signed by your favorite practitioners of Erdnase!</p>
<p>We have had a limited number of the sheets printed, and have already given away a lot of our stock of the Erdnaseum sheets to attendees of the convention, so act quickly. They will not be reprinted. Additionally we still have a very limited number of our previously released uncut sheets and Ask Alexander playing card decks so feel free to add to your order!</p>
<p>The Erdnaseum uncut sheets are available in Cambric. However, the Ask Alexander uncut sheets are available in both Cambric and Ivory finishes. Please <a href="mailto:librarian@conjuringarts.org">contact Alexis</a> if you have any questions or have trouble ordering through the website.</p>

<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Now available to everybody&#8230;.in limited supply!</strong></span></p>
<p>In honor of our glorious friend, Ask Alexander, we have collaborated with M. Stutzman, artist for David Blaine&#8217;s wonderful playing cards and posters, to bring you the Ask Alexander deck. Featuring numerous diabolical properties and an elegant, cunning design, this is a deck that you will be proud to have with you in magical endeavors, as well as an excellent addition to your card collection.</p>
<p>The Ask Alexander deck is printed on the finest casino paper and to the highest standards available at the United States Playing Card Company. During the course of our efforts to make our various custom playing card decks, we have made numerous trips to the USPCC&#8217;s facilities in order to personally oversee the manufacture of our playing cards and to make any and all adjustments necessary to craft the perfect deck of cards.</p>
<p>This unique, impressive deck is manufactured in both Cambric and Ivory finishes in order to accommodate all personal and devious preferences. The cards are cut in the same fashion as our previous decks to facilitate smooth handling and effortless faro shuffles.You may notice a similarity to Bulldog Squeezers and Angel Back Squeezers. <a href="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Angel-Back-Squeezers-Red.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3380" title="Angel Back Squeezers - Red" src="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Angel-Back-Squeezers-Red-222x300.jpg" alt="" width="80" height="108" /></a><a href="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Bull-Dog-Squeezers-Red.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3386" title="Bull Dog Squeezers - Red" src="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Bull-Dog-Squeezers-Red-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="78" height="108" /></a>They were our inspiration when designing this deck. The bold one way back design of the Bulldog Squeezers combined with the elegance and nuanced features of the Angel Back Squeezer deck.</p>
<p>Available to Members with their member discount, Conjuring Arts has also made them available to non-members, at the retail price, if they do not sell out. If you would like to become a member please <a href="http://conjuringarts.org/store/memberships">click here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Card-Clip-Banner.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3245" title="Card Clip Banner" src="http://conjuringarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Card-Clip-Banner.jpg" alt="" width="588" height="340" /></a>Conjuring Arts is proud to release our new Erdnase 1902 Card Clips! These fantastically designed clips are manufactured to the exacting standards and master craftsmanship of Joe Porper and match our Smith Back No. 2 design playing cards. The cards are fantastic, wonderful, and are better protected in this elegant clip.</p>
<p>These clips start out entirely anodized in blue and are engraved to give the silver finish on the outside with a striking blue inside. Because of the engraving there is a slight texture to the outside of the clip to give you extra hold when you remove your pristine cards from within. The clip is also slightly larger than a typical clip in order to safely hold the higher-quality, thicker card stock of our premium cards (although they will work fine with a regular deck, if you leave the jokers in).</p>
<p>You will be very pleased to own one of these limited edition clips (Only 36 clips of both Ivory and Cambric will be sold). Further each clip comes complete with a deck of our Erdnase 1902 Smith Back No. 2 playing cards! As you may know, these are entirely sold out, however, our Executive Director is graciously offering decks from his private stock to fill our orders!</p>
<p>Thank you very much for looking and we hope that you enjoy this limited release!</p>

<p>Greetings from Conjuring Arts!</p>
<p>As you may have read, our last contest was answered correctly by Frank Yuen (Congratulations sir!) and, in order to give everyone more incentive to use Ask Alexander and find glorious information, another contest is in order! The prize remains the same (ten decks of our playing cards postage paid), although we will be offering an alternate prize, having to do with the contest, should the winner be so inclined&#8230;it&#8217;s kind of a big deal.</p>
<p><a href="http://conjuringarts.org/2011/07/emc-2011-and-ask-alexander-research-contest/">See our previous contest for more information and check out the question and answer to see what we are looking for.</a></p>
<p>The challenge will be to use Ask Alexander to answer the question posted below as quickly as possible. The first person submitting the correct answer(s) will win the ten decks of our playing cards (postage paid) or the alternate mystery prize! We hope that you have a good time using your complimentary Ask Alexander access and find many more things along the way!</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
<p>He had an Indetectable handling of the Erdnase Diagonal Shift-Palm in an Annemann magazine. If you look for Nelms, Fitzkee, and Tommy Wonder, you will find an incomplete trilogy of books. Find the missing book, and where he annotated it, to find out some objects that might be good to produce from an incandescent bulb.</p>
<p>E-mail your answers to: <del><a href="mailto:EMCanswer2@conjuringarts.org" target="_blank">EMCanswer2@conjuringarts.org</a></del> Contest has already concluded. Congratulations to Bill Mullins on his quick and accurate answer!</p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<p>We figure since the answer came so quickly, we should give some more time for people to try the question if they so desire without the answer being right here, so here is a link:</p>
<p><a href="http://conjuringarts.org/2008/08/emc-contest-2-answer/">EMC Contest #2 Answer</a></p>
<p>Thank you to those that took the time to try out  the contest, and we hope that you found some good things during your search!</p>
