Ellusionist Shadow Masters Contest Winner

[bernardooliveira98]

what deck do you think its the best one for magics,flourishes,looks cool and last a good time?,i know,many questions but i need an answer for this cause im gonna buy a new deck :D

[jdwill96]

would you recommend this deck?

[GiantsAllStar]

@jdwill96

I'm sure newer and better decks have come out since the SM. I preferred the Ghost deck tbh. Less ink on the cards keeps them from wearing and sticking too fast..

[BaseballPlayer1507]

why so many decks????????

[GiantsAllStar]

@BaseballPlayer1507

I bought a brick when they first came out.

[peterddakmagic]

[Ilikepieman22]

yeah i went last week :D that place is really cool

[gigagdragoon2345]

my friend did that to me a few days ago

[modestomorgasm]

I gotta be honest i dont want to sit here and critisize ur work because i know you spend lots of time on it, BUT you need to work on presenting your double lifts better and you SHOULD use a normal bicycle deck for performing. Simply because people have never seen the shadow deck before so they immediatly think there is something weird about the deck. Every one knows the red and blue bicycle decks tho :) aside from that, VERY nice job. I like it

[adamquin07]

you do realise he only used a shadow masters because thats one of the rules of the competition??? read the description.

[CardMadMonster]

i hte shadowmasters

[fingerboarder329]

very very nice

[Jelluh2002]

it's all basic, my lil brother can do better :)

[RandomDirectors]

Get him to make a video so we can be the judges of that.

[GiantsAllStar]

lol.... I don't think he is serious... but thanks for the support...

[RandomDirectors]

Really nice video by the way.

5/5 stars.

[TheUnmaskedMagician]

very nice

[MAGICkid989]

[GiantsAllStar]

[moneymageWoW]

[GiantsAllStar]

"Erdnase Color Change"

[buddhistpriest94]

[BlizzardGmBot]

[GiantsAllStar]

[EpicGecko611]

[XxMrNinjaManxX]

[IEINVY]

[IEINVY]

yo man what did you get for winning the contest

[GiantsAllStar]

I was supposed to get fame through e-mails, forum and front page...

All I got was the trailer you see on the Shadow Masters Page... that's it...

[buddhistpriest94]

[oaoaoas]

hey dude keep doing xcm.nothing else

[iLoveMagicCardz]

can i ask how long have you been doing this ?

[GiantsAllStar]

since the summer of 2003...

thanks for the support and don't forget to subscribe..

[shade1468]

Thank you

[shade1468]

Whats the name of the cut he does at 1:07

[GiantsAllStar]

You might be talking about the thumb cut....

thanks...

[gaffmaster804]

the butterfly cut...its wen you do a charlie a cut in each hand

[Massivfanstyle]

3:14 looks a little bit like jay noblezada on his self tying shoelaces demo ;)

[GiantsAllStar]

what the hell??? lol ok...

[Massivfanstyle]

don't you think so`?

[jeffbrent]

Using the Ellusionist decks is probably the worst thing you can do when you perform. As the look cool to you, they look totally Fake to lay people.

my .02

[Jesse11016]

Well thats why you incorporate the spectators into the trick and let them physically handle the deck..ie shuffling the deck. Let them check the deck also. That will remove any suspicions the spectator is having.

[jeffbrent]

With a normal bicycle deck there is NO suspicion. Why would you even say "check the deck". That creates MORE suspicion. I'm not going to argue with you.

[Jesse11016]

haha ok.

[movienoc101]

What's that move called at 0:52?

[BItChSlaP1o1]

does any body know what the move at 3:18 is called? please!!!!!

[movienoc101]

It's called a spring.

[CrazyAxelStyle]

man your skils are increadible !

[fendergod1969]

Great video. I was just wondering where you learned the flourish at 0:30 I know I saw it in my dvd collection in some video I just can't remember where. I have been searching but no luck. Thanks

[GiantsAllStar]

That's the FlipBack Vanish from De'vo's Cradle To Grave Project....

[FaltzerZX]

Do those last longer than standard Rider Back Poker cards?

And haha, nice distraction with the card switching, that one can be hard to pull off if they keep an eye on your hands. Pretty good triple lift too.

Flip much?

[GiantsAllStar]

I would say they last a bit longer, due to the finish. lol thanks for the comments, I don't hustle sry no....

[Eschatonx]

they are a bit thicker than standard bikes, so they will last sometime longer. i definitely recommend a deck, they're not overly expensive for what you're getting. plus they just look bad ass

[jamilefozlife]

damn i just got one of thoughs decks i never thought that there were that many tricks you could do with cards in general

[TheAceofNate]

what did you win?

[TheAceofNate]

nevermind

[CrazyAxelStyle]

i orderd a shadow master 2 days ago! hope it will come today :D

[terdman156]

i dont no if you are tired of me asking all these questions but, this is the last questions. wut is the double backer in the deck best used for?

[GiantsAllStar]

There are many tricks our there that require a double faced card. Personally, I don't deal with gaff cards, so I can't name any tricks, but they are out there. Ask on the forums, I'm sure people will let you know something. sorry...

-i appreciate the questions btw... thanks...

[JPIllusions]

i saw this vid on ellusionist i was like "this dude's good" i so want those cards. Nice job bro

[terdman156]

wut was the second trick u did on that guy called?

[GiantsAllStar]

biddle trick

[terdman156]

wut type of shirt is that

? and are these cards as thick as the shgadow masters edtion

[GiantsAllStar]

It's a stars and straps shirt...

Yes they are just as thick as the sme....

[Moonchi1993]

what did u get for winning?

[GiantsAllStar]

My video on the Shadow Masters Page....

[LeonE2k8]

Cool freakin video, man! That was sick. Peace, man!

[fruitbooter142]

hey can u please tell me whick deck is the best out of all the ellusionists?

[GiantsAllStar]

Personally. White and black ghosts.....

[andreiportaru2007]

first or 2nd edition?

[GiantsAllStar]

Second edition for blacks and of course the only first edition whites....

[WarMachin3z]

is this better then a blk ghost?

[GiantsAllStar]

I actually like the black ghost better. They handle like ghosts, and they look better, not so dark and faded....

[RXillusionist]

it still hasn't been posted on the Shadow MAsters page

[GiantsAllStar]

It never will... they never got back to me after I gave them the raw files. I won't cry over it....

[di538]

does it cost for shipping if you buy ellusionist decks from bc, canada?

respond pls thanks:)

[GiantsAllStar]

It's always going to cost for shipping when you order from anywhere. So to answer your question, yes it will cost for shipping. It's not that expensive though....

[TheMagicArtist]

Hey, nice to see some other BC Magicians.

[pulp4surfin]

not from Penguin

[ajackets12]

im not complaining or anything. but, weren't the original masters decks made to look like a normam deck but feel like a custom deck, that way the spectator wouldn't be suspicious? so why did they make a black version?

[GiantsAllStar]

E is capitalizing on making a "black" deck. They say that members requested this, but they are trying to make as many decks as possible right now, and sell them off to costumers or companies to buy bulk...

[seymourmagic]

Let me guess, this was made in iMovie. Eh?

[GiantsAllStar]

yes. Is that bad?

[EdMagician]

Good job! :D

[korean4arch]

oh that suxs.... i never knew ellousionist would lie like that =/ well gotta ammit u did kinda make me buy those decks =p and u have awsome skills

[korean4arch]

do u know y they didnt post ur vid in the shadow masters thing? btw wtucha win?

[spiderbodyboy]

i mean what is the name of the trick u done to that man :)

[GiantsAllStar]

Oh the one shown is called 2 card Monte. Very cool trick. The other one was the biddle trick...

[spiderbodyboy]

trick name?

[pur3kashif]

i gotta be honest now, they only chose you because you were one of the people that bought the most decks
