Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else is waiting on their decks to arrive? Looking forward to trying out a few of the effects from the routine, especially coinkidink.

Also, I see there is another kick starter project similar to the layman's use for the creative solutions deck (which is a good thing I think)

Regards,

Sea

And emailed you.

Phill

The pdf for the Creative Solutions Deck is well written, useful and discloses some fascinating approaches to mentalism. Thanks Phill.

Is there any package deal for the deck and ebook?

These cards are unbelievable.

Phill and all the contributors. Thank you so much for bringing these into existence. My brain has been going none stop:)

I am so excited to be using these...

I predict these are going to go a lot further than you may have anticipated Mr. Smiff.

GIVE THANKS

Took a trip to California for 2 weeks. Would have liked to show these off to friends at the Castle but they still haven't arrived, even upon getting all of my mail that had been held at the post office.

Anyone else not receive there decks?

Hi Adam, I'm still waiting on mine. Email Phill and let him know, as far as I know he is working on it,

Regards,

Sea

We've just had a week long strike by postal workers that ended on Friday so hopefully this week I'll get mine.

This has been a bigger problem with this release than with any of my books - I can't help but wonder if the smaller envelopes are just more loseable / nickable by postal hands. It's so frustrating to me, and I can only apologise for the ridiculous delay. Steve and Sea, your replacement decks have DEFINITELY gone out, Adam, please send me an email at info@sushidesign.net and I'll sort you out too.

Phill

Mine have arrived Phill. Thanks very much.

Very nice quality.
Nice boxes.
Easy to use (if you know what I mean)

First thing I will use them for is in place of playing cards for Atlas' Mind Readers ACAAN.

Steve

Hi Stephen, I'm glad they turned up (eventually!), and extra glad that you like them. I spent a long time thinking about ACAAN with the deck, because the Creative Solutions deck is all about rebuilding existing card tricks into mentalism pieces and ACAAN already kind of straddles that line (in out little subculture anyway) - I started looking at my own ACAAN Grandmaster Easy and started peeling back the layers, but I ended up going back further and basically removing the ACAAN element (you know what I mean from the ebook effect Coinkidink). I think there are a lot of different approaches to actually doing the ACAAN with the deck, as well as a few extra hurdles of course - it would be cool to know how you apply it.

Have fun!

Phill

Just for the record EVERYONE has their decks now. I'm not sure what the issue was with the postage but it is now sorted and we are smooth sailing again.
Enjoy your decks guys!

Phill

Hi team, two things:
One, the CS deck is available now at Phillsmiff.com for a knock down price if you use the 30% discount code TRIACONTAGON but this offer runs out TOMORROW (12th) so rush now!

Secondly, I'm really chuffed with the kind words people have been sending my way about the clarity and simplicity of the marking on the CS deck, and a few people asked if there was any likelihood of there being a normal deck of playing cards with a similar marking system. Well, one has been in the pipeline for a while and it's available for preorder (shipping v. soon) at http://www.sovereignplayingcards.com If you are interested in using an unambiguous marked deck with a lightening quick read in close up or on stage, it is worth a good look.
