I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Way too much camera movement in that video.

      I thought the camera work was just as impressive as the card work.

    I never want to play poker with those guys.  Wonder if the casinos have their pictures on file.

      Or try to recruit them as dealers.

    Like most magicians who can’t do this stuff I am obliged to sneeringly deride it and point out that real audiences don’t give a damn and it actively damages your performance by showing your skill with a deck rather than allowing space for magic. Inside my head though: damn that is cool.

    Ironically their website asks for your email before they’ll tell you more about the deck…

      I don’t find it ironic, I find it annoying enough that I’m not going to go any further.  It turned my experience from “that’s cool enough that I’ll actually follow that advertisement” to “fuck you, I’ll take my eyes (and potentially dollars) elsewhere”.

    I may be alone here, but I just find most card flourishes pretty lame.

  • deadbot

    How the hell do these guys find the time to work out AND practice card flourishes?

    I’ll be impressed when the drug tests come back negative.

       Each and every one of those cards weighs exactly 1Kg. Problem solved!

    I can do that but I don’t want to.
