I like it pretty cool stories,thanks for the link

I like the story and the ending is great.
Card Artistry is an all purpose ending with the right cards.

Thanks Amerigo. I forgot all about this song.

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed the story,especially the fact that there's 52 weeks in a year, & 13 weeks in a season.

One of my favorite Christian card tricks and the recent discussion was very helpful.

Tanx for that. Great magic with great story.

Thanks for posting this. As a vet myself, it definitely connected for me.

Thanks for all the links.I have been looking for this for a long time!

I'v use the "deck of Card" many times - using it to demonstrate being judgemental - then witness how I"ve been judgemental AND FORGIVEN - a great GIFT to be forgiven and to FORGIVe- as they no not what they do. I use a Large Deck with what each card stood for written behind - at first I exclame " OOOOOH a deck of Cards!!" then go into the routine about the Soldier(sp?) RALPH

A french/belgian old version exists (XVIIIe century) too.
I remember that this version was much more complete and complexe (with a symbolic lecture of all the cards)

I think it's possible to find this old version on the web (but for french reader only...)
I'll search it later if I have time
