And you facebook rant, "Facebook is for knobs to tell knobs they are knobs IMHO." And yes, I do see you have had your own "back and forth" run ins with PRINCE, i.e. "I have just asked a couple of magicians Prince one who is a newbie and one who is not both said impossible a gimmick must be in play . Anyone with a grain of interest in magic with a brain realises this except you it would seem . So did exactly what you asked and that was their responses , which everyone bar you it would seem would have known anyway . And this, "Sorry if I mis advised you all oops easy isn't it , my bad . They said that a gimmicked card must be in play , thought Prince was going to spot that robd and was trying to reel Prince in ( you spoil sport ) yes you are right though not worth keeping on as Prince wants everyone to agree with him and many won't . I never will so has got the wrong person with me , anyway best leave it as is feeding his delusional ego and agree with others it's immature . " So I see you must have finally taken your own advice to me about PRINCE.

Your response gave me an idea about how to find out about your identity, Cinderello: All I have to do is to show the factory blank cards to every magician I see. The only one who will not be able to see the card values must be you! Did not expect that a deck of cards would turn into a crystal shoe...

It's a moot point anyway, since Christian isn't a dealer but a producer, and as such, he is supposed to take pride in his work, just as I take pride in my work as a performer. And had this been about someone's opinions, it would have been a different thing completely. But the case here is that some people are stating that their subjective opinions are to be considered more factual than the actual facts. No one would have objected to a statement like "the effects with this prop are really bad", or "I don't like the handling"... People are entitled to their subjective opinions. But when completely misrepresenting something by making up untrue things and present them as "facts", well, then it is not only prudent but almost required that those with the most knowledge on the matter make corrections. Christian have been travelling. It is not a trivial thing to make greasemonkey scripts run on mobile units. If your german is better than Christian's english, then maybe you would have a point commenting on the language. |

No treaties. Just common courtesy. Widely regarded in my country anyway.
And in other news... Oh no, not the whole 'DEALER VS PRODUCER' argument again. Card Shark is an online shop that sells MAGIC PRODUCTS to customers...some products that have been PRODUCED and made by other people... that makes them a DEALER. Card Shark isn't special. Answer this question then... If CARD SHARK isn't a DEALER, Why is it listed on the DEALERS LIST FOR BLACKPOOL CONVENTION THEN HUH? Why has it got a table in the DEALER HALL? LOL. KA BOOM.

Why is Card Shark registered as a Dealer at Blackpool if they are not a Dealer?

Last year you might remember that I was booked as a lecturer and also performed in the close up show. This year I am exhibiting in the dealer room.
If you would not be so childish, you would be able to figure out the "dilemma" yourself. Look at Mark Mason, Chris Smith of Magic Smith, Losander, Vanishing Inc, Alakazam, Paul Richards, Joker and Astor, just to name a few. These are all creators and producers who come to these conventions. Enjoy it when you are there. Because you have the chance to talk to the guys who thought up their products. Ask them questions why they did what they did. If you doubt the working of a trick, THIS is the chance to talk with them face to face. INTRODUCE yourself and get out of your anonymity. We are a community, and only a few are sharing what they create. (The rest of magicians are "consuming" what others created, think about it the next time you try to be unique when performing.) If you believe that I am making money with what I am doing: true. I hope you also have a job to make a living. If it is magic related then I am sure you are paid as well when you work. (Probably you are using effects or items others created. Even a deck of cards someone needed to produce for you, so that you can shine.) Dealers buy stuff someone made with a dealer discount and sell it for retail price. The difference is their profit (certainly after all expenses of traveling, dealer table, registration etc.). If you are not aware of the difference between a producer and a dealer, then educate yourself by reading some books about economy. Definitely worth it. If the organizers of the conventions continue calling it a dealer room instead of - say - a showroom, then I have no influence on that. But you can ask many people I deal with that I am talking to convention organizers around this world to get their awareness that this should change. Because more and more the producers are going to the conventions. Once again; use the opportunity when you go to the showroom, these guys are more clever than you in most cases. Learn from them... See you guys in Blackpool, happy to show you the working of the Factory Blanks there, say hello, give me a face to your name, what Poofdaddy did at MagiFest, and what Tom and I do here with using our real photos.

I bought and love your changeling but that is very similar to Miickael Chatelains Bill flash effect that was even originally called something else before that when I bought it . There is nothing wrong in that . Magicians sell effects and routines which magicians then add their own personality and uniqueness to them and that's cool too . Unfortunately Christian started acting up to his potential customers when that's not good business sense and then didn't like the inevitable pelters he got back . It then becomes laughable when he starts comparing himself as a performer and a dealer to the very very best in the business . |

Again we sold out at a convention, sorry that I did not meet Tarik in person.
Regarding using Factory Blanks for Close Up: someone sent me a great idea that really works: Show the deck as blank cards, also hand out the double blank card for examination. Keep the deck in New Deck Order. As blank cards could represent any card, "picking" a card would not really make sense. If they would have the choice, which card would they select? Let them name a card. Ask for their phone (Iphone cameras seem to work better than Samsung cameras) and while they are searching for it, cut to their named card. Take back the double blank card - Top Change - make a photo with THEIR phone while they are holding that card into the camera. Make sure to turn off the flash, otherwise it will not work. Hand them their phone and take back the card - topchange - placing down the double blank. Let them zoom into the white card and a ghostly image of their named selection should appear right there. Experiment with your own phone to get a feeling for the right distance and make sure to tap on the card for focus so that the image on the phone will appear sharp. They will blame you that you manipulated their phone, but so far nobody thought the secret would have been in the cards. I am torn with the "double blank cards" in grey or white. I am willing to produce the grey double blank cards but it will take a while. I am still sure that plain double blank cards would do the same job. The only "problem" would be that there is no white card case that would have the words "Factory Blanks" written on it. And to keep the white reference to the cards, this card case should match the color of the cards inside. Just imagine you would put white cards into the greyish card case of the Factory Blanks, this would be obvious. But if you switch the greyish cards in the greyish box for white cards in a white box this would easily work and stay unnoticed.

Hi Christian I endeavoured to find your stand as I was only there on the Friday but spoke to Roger in The Ruskin on the Friday night and he said you were not there until the Saturday and your stand wasn't open on the Fruday as trust me I was looking out for you especially but at as you never bothered setting up on the Friday like all the other dealers I couldn't do a lot about it . Funny how you never mentioned it before the convention lol its cheap to talk after the event you could have pmed me and told me your movements if you wanted to big it up . I know where you normally are somewhere near card collection area but you wasn't there as was looking forward to meeting you . Maybe I will see you at the international convention unless you over here before Tarik

I certainly was there, the stand is - for nearly ten years - between Gyklaren and Joker, with a BIG sign of me, and has never moved.
We have to set up our stands - always - on the Thursdays and open up our stands on Friday at 11:00. What we certainly did. Not sure with which Roger you spoke...
