As far as I'm concern, yes. What about you, what do you think about that kind of deck?

AMcD! I'd love to start a war! But... I have to admit even I am not sure about our french sometimes... But thanks for the other words, I do appreciate them!

Cag, When I said hi-lo for Blackjack, I was only saying that Steve cut/strip them so all aces and value 10 were on top. If I suggested it was used for Blackjack, my apologies, it was not my intention. I don't really see how you could use it for BlcakJack. Maybe for a demo, not in a real situation. Even for a banker and broker game, you would rely on belly strippers, not this deck (although it could work...). This deck does not withstand a wash shuffle, like a wedge stripper, because that is what it is. It's not made the same way but it has the same use.

Also, When I talked about cutting the deck, I meant he makes the strip look like a cut at the end of a riffle sequence. I did not know you would take the time to look it up. Anyway, that was the idea of this deck, to make the stripping action feel more like a cut at the end of a riffle sequence. I am not the one that created it, but was asked to make one based on this video and on little information that the person had after playing with this very deck. I am convinced it already existed before ( before me or Steve, or Erdnase or Maskelyne!). I have been making some for the last year and a half for people who were always asking for the Forte stripper or Forte deck, so I guess the name stuck.

Not a deck for gamblers, just for magicians. There a lot of other things for gamblers...

Mr. Bones, thank you very much for the appreciation of my work. Thank you also happy003.

Cheers,

Steph

p.s. I was a little stunned that this deck started a post in the gambling spot, not that I mind at all. As for my adds, I like them to sound like the old gambling catalogs of a time gone by.

Slim does great work, and is a very nice guy, which is strange for a French speaking person ;-)

I can see that being French Canadian, and a "French speaking person" has its challenges on this forum. Smile
