Yo, what's up guys welcome back today is Sunday the 15th, so as some of you may know
This is the last day to preorder first playing cards now before I get into this. I want to say
Thank you to everybody who has supported this project and helped fund this. After today, we are working with
USPC as well as the tuck case company to put these into production. (Horray!) Now what that means is that as I mentioned in previous videos,
and on my website, from today
Six to eight weeks from now these cards will be manufactured, and then we're going to ship them out
I'm gonna try to shorten that time obviously and hopefully get these to you by Christmas
But because of the queue and because of Christmas like shipping and everything there might be a delay (oh no!)
But not to fret. (Oh, okay) As I mentioned
This is a great investment for you guys, and these cards will so be worth it
So I- I really appreciate your patience on this and I appreciate you guys
Having enough faith in these cards and in me to preorder them before they're even a thing. So thank you for that (Aw, thanks)
I thought I'd throw in something a little bit extra so stay tuned to the end of this video and a
little bit of a gem hidden for you guys because I can't just leave you hanging. I'm also setting up a meeting with Dan and
Dave because in November the tuck cases should be ready
And I'm going to be signing them as I mentioned before we get them into packaging so... November 10th
I'll be signing them, but then the 11th
I think Dan and Dave and Art of Play are doing a pop-up shop in San Diego, so I will be there as well
We'll be able to hang out and jam and just sort of chill together
And I'll be doing some filming and stuff so we can have a little meet-and-greet plus you guys could check out dimdays pop-up
And that's about all the news that I have for now you. USPC right now
We're going into pre-press and digital proofing and what that is
And I want to take you guys along for every step of the way just be completely transparent
So you know what's happening with your money USPC right now and pre-press so they're getting everything pre-approved
Which is which is really good
We're already approved
But just in case
looking at all the files, making sure all the cards are in the certain order that we want them to be in, etc. And
Also, they're gonna send me digital and physical proofs
So what that means usually like an uncut sheet or something of the actual deck
And I'm super stoked at that and to be able to share that with you guys as well. Also,
Big news: my Instagram just hit 100k
So thank you guys for that, really appreciate that you guys
Double tapping the like. If you're not already following me on Instagram feel free to do so leave the link below
But thank you for that. This video is gonna be super short
because I didn't wanna- I just wanted to kind of keep you guys in the loop, on what's going on nothing's super exciting tomorrow...
We got a tutorial, as you know, but I do have some fan mail here *inhale* BBPHHH
*upbeat music*
*zoom (transition)*
So we're gonna read some fan mail out- while I'm outside on this beautiful rainy, comfy, cozy Sunday day
So this one here, this is from a middle school
I won't reveal the name or the person who it's from but, uh- actually, I can reveal the first name; this is from Devon (Oh, hello Devon)
Thanks, Devon. Super sweet. Devon just says "hey Chris
Sorry for the handwriting, but whatever. If you want
You can read this you can read this on camera. There you go Devon; shout-out to Devon.
"He's like honestly my favorite performer person just ever" so Thank You Devon. It's really sweet. And, He says, "he always supports me
I'm just the best" (I think so too! c:) so Thank You Devon, appreciate that . Now we got something from
uhhhh...- something from Holly... Holly here with the six stamps look at the Pixar stamps Thank You Holly this
I haven't opened any of these so I don't know what to expect
Holly says, (Hi, Holly) "I love card magic and binge watch your videos whenever I can. I began card magic in *Arget* (Whoops) -- in August, and I'm
Now eager for more material. You're a great magician and being half as good as you are would be amazing." (I second that)
Oh, that's awesome. If you read this at a video and decide to...s- ehhuh, err... (whoops again)
And decide to send a deck again up to you
Please don't say which Deck you'll give me or give a warning. All right. You know what Holly,
I am going to send you a deck of cards. (Can I have some please?) So holly,
Thanks for this handwritten letter super sweet, and I'll send something your way, so thank you for that again
No, no no no... Here's the thing; I don't want it
I don't want to get like 500 of these
Handwritten letters in the mail next week expecting everybody to check your cards because you'll run me dry
I'll be broke (Well, I gave this video subtitles, is that enough for a deck?)
But I do
Obviously appreciate the handwritten letters you guys are pretty awesome for doing that so all of you got something coming your way
Thanks for that. (I'm being serious here...) Sean says "Please don't read this on camera", so I will read it to myself... next letter! This is cool..
They kind of put the the Knights ace on there. He says, "if you feature this on a video
Please don't share any personal information"
Got you! "Doing magic for roughly one year, wanted to write in this letter tell you about how much you have affected my life now.
Let's start the beginning." Oh geez all right. Let me get into reading this... Thank you so much for the amazing letter
You know who you are. I really appreciate it. I really appreciate you guys sending these in this is uh you know?
I don't always have time to respond to these things especially on emails I get a lot of emails from a lot of people
It's really hard for me to keep up with it
Especially like these days with the first playing card launch
And I'm kind of like troubleshooting and...- you know, a lot of people want to adjust their orders, or change their address
And all that stuff, so I'm taking care of all that as well at the same time (I swear if you send me some cards, I won't do that.)
So don't feel bad if I don't answer your email or your comment or your handwritten letter
But I do read most of them (Are you reading this, Chris?), and I do appreciate you guys you know supporting me and sending me all this positive- uh, vibes
That's it for the video. Nothing super exciting today
Just wanted to kind of like touch base with you guys and let you guys know
What was going on so...
Thanks for tuning in don't forget to like this video subscribe if you're not already and we'll see you tomorrow for another tutorial on
tutorial Monday (being 100% serious about the cards...just think about it Chris...please)
Have a good day. Peace! RAHHHH (??)!!
All right guys. I thought it'd throw in something a little bit extra since you guys tuned in this long
Thank you for that (you're welcome) and the other day
I put up a video with the haunted deck and where you could kind of like spin
And you can kind of like make the deck move by itself go check out that video if you haven't already but a lot of you
guys requested
Uhhh, That I show you how to do the spinning double, so I'm just going to run through it
I don't think this merits a whole video
But basically what the spinning double is is a bit of a convincer for a double lift
And that obviously is,- is one card (two cards?) I mean, uh, two cards (thought so), so here's how that works you want to get your double lift
So however you want to do your double. You can do it with the pinky count
Or you can do it with the push-off or whatever. I prefer push off. Anyway, you get those two cards
You turn them and basically what you're doing is you're holding everything right,- now, now I have two cards, obviously
I'm holding everything right now tight I'm going to cock my wrists back like this and when my wrist comes here
I'm gonna let go and
That's the spinning double. Basically, you can do that with three cards, you can do that with multiple cards
They're just a cool little convince, er where you say okay, so we have your card here the the jack of spades
And it's just a little bit of a convincer, convincing people that that was one card that normally
No one would do that with multiple cards
And so what you need for this to work is pretty much a new deck because old decks are kind of tend to be stickier
it can work with older decks and the
Best thing for this is if your deck has like a warp in it like right now. It's really human
I have this click
I don't know if you guys can hear that minor click in the deck here... So when you get that click
it's not always a bad thing like right now that click will help me do this spinning double because
There's an arch here and an arch here so basically just like the principle in that haunted deck thing
it's just relying on that arch so all you need to do is just control the
strength
Basically your wrist doing this and having a spin over and as I mentioned in the other video you can have a whole
Half deck do that right?
But it is something that is a little bit more ballsy-er (Not a word...), a little bit more risky so
You need to play around with the deck first to make sure that this deck can do it
Don't go out and just try it straight up
Make sure you practice it and then make sure the deck is right for it it can be used a more used act can be
a new deck...it all depends on
The deck itself, and the cards themselves, how they interact- Like, a brand new deck won't be the best idea because a lot of times
You'll get a split like this because the cards just won't stick together enough
So they need to be kind of like worn in but not too much
So it's just something fun to do if you're doing like a little bit of an Instagram video
And you want to add a little extra
Flair in there you can do that spinning double, - See,there, like it's split not the best
But if you have a worn-in deck that sticks a little bit more
I'd be a hundred percent confident to perform this to people not a problem at all that's a small convincer just
Showing them that card.. "alright, we have that card here. We're gonna lose. It somewhere in the middle and
Jump straight back at the top there you go".. So that's the, uh, spinning double. Hope you enjoyed that and
(Love you videos, Chris... THINK ABOUT IT!)
That's it for me this week, so thanks. Just taking it
