UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Hello, My names youngtomlin. I am a 13 year old magician and sometimes I do cardistry. I have been collecting decks of cards for about a year and a half now. My collection holds only about 50 decks which is poor compared to some on this site but its growing . I will post pictures of some of my nicer sets of playing cards. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!!

Thanks for having a look at my collection!

Here are some playing cards in my collection.

This was my first deck of playing cards. Its the Tragic Royalty deck of playing cards. Its Halloween themed. Here are some pictures.

Oh and one more photo (could not do it on the other post)

My next random deck of playing cards is the Earthtone 9 Karnival set. This deck I use a lot in magic because its very clear and has an awesome design. .

So here it is the Karnival Earthtone 9 Deck...
Sorry the Giant Fan's are quite blurry. I will try and do better!
I will also try and post 1 or 2 decks each day but sometimes I am quite busy but I will try my best!

I hope you enjoy these two decks!

Hello again here is another deck of playing cards

Here is another Karnival deck its the Delirium Deck, i don't really use this because they are quite hard to read and see but the design is very unique.
I hope you enjoy these cards. I will upload another set later.

Hey! Dude, you got some cool stuff there! Keep it going and thanks for sharing!

Thanks I'm just glad people are enjoying my collection!

Here's another random deck, quite a cool one this time with some awesome designs in it. Its the Bicycle Club Tattoo deck. I love this decks artwork SO MUCH!
I hope you enjoy these pics. I will upload some more tomorrow

The next deck for you amazing users to look at is the Bicycle Zebra deck. This deck has normal faces (except the Ace of Spades, which has a cool Zebra Design) but the back design has two designs (one way back) so it has two fan designs. I hope you enjoy this cool deck make by Merz67.
I hope you enjoy this unique deck. I will upload more tomorrow

Hello again everyone, I have another deck for you, this time its the Bicycle Butterfly deck. This deck handles very well and has some pretty nice designs I hope you enjoy them...
Sorry for the poor images I am quite busy today

Hello again everyone . I have another deck to share with you, this is a deck I perform with quite a lot. The Bicycle Sideshow Freaks deck. Here are some pics.

I`m enjoying your thread very much.
The way you show your decks is very cool

Thanks very much Jock1971 I love your collection too. I just thought people would want to look at the cards too so I showed them like this.

Sorry I havent posted in a while I have been very busy. Here is a deck from Ellusionist. Its the Green Artifice. I hate the other colours.
I hope you enjoy them
Thanks for looking at my thread. I will hope to post more regularly now but don't hold me on it

DAM IT sorry for the pictures for the green Artifices being the wrong way, I used a different program. It wont happen again!!!

I always thought the red Artifice looked too much like Italian restaurant wallpaper, so the green is my favourite as well.

Photobucket tends to rotate large pictures like that, as I had happen with a Worldwide posting a while back.

I really like how you display your cards youngtomlin.
Especially appreciate the signs of wear that your favourites have. Though I don't put them through the same rigours of cardistry as you do, I keep one deck out of my collection available for use at all times, and rotate to a new deck often.

Thanks dazzleguts. I agree with you on the Red Artifice they look terrible without borders . I usually pick a deck at random and use them, so some of my decks I hardly use. I am also not one of the collectors who buy two decks and keep one sealed, as I am not made of money

Yeah, I used a different program last post because it looked quicker to re size the pics, but it rotated them too. It will change next post, though

I am so glad people are enjoying the thread and I will post more tomorrow

Thanks

What kind of acts do you perform with the sideshow freaks deck?

Nothing special, but I could try and do some cardistry on a tightrope... actually If I think about it. No I'd probably fall off

Here is another strange deck from Bicycle. Its the Robocycle deck. Every card is standard except The Royalty (which are pretty funky ) and the Ace of Spades. I hope you enjoy them.
The pictures should be the right way round now, if there not I'm doing something seriously wrong .

Thanks again for looking at my collection and I hope you enjoy them.

I'm not a magician, but I've always thought story based tricks with those decks would be pretty neat.

I agree, Eoghann! I just keep collecting decks and getting gaff cards, but never get to ser those in action. That would be awesome!
@Youngtomlin good work and pace, but I see the last images sidewas too! Also, your pics would benefit from a tripod, it's gotta be hard to shot and perform at the same time!

I could try and create a story based trick, that would be really cool! . Can anyone else confirm that the pics of the Robocycle deck are sideways because they look fine from my POW. I really am no professional photographer and I take these picture with a Ipod Camera but I will try and get hold of a tripod. Thanks for the suggestions Eoghann and jsantafe

I am again really busy today (sorry) . But I will post some more pics tomorrow

Thanks

So you use an iPod. I get that same problem with my iPhone or iPad. The way I fix it is I take the picture, then rotate the picture to any orientation dfferent from the one you just took and save it. Then rotate once more back to the desired orientation and save it. Always fixes it. I think it's due to the metadata saved in the picture telling it which way is up going cooky. Robocycle seems fine on my end. Artifice is rotated for instance.

Yeah thanks Eoghann, thanks for a tip, I will use that to rotate pictures if I don't need to crop them. . Thanks for confirming that. The Artifice were the wrong way round as I used a different program

Thanks again

Here is another strange deck. Its the Karnival Zray deck. The spot cards are standard, but the Royalty are cool. Here is some pics. I hope you enjoy them.
I will post some more soon.

Thanks for looking at my thread!

Here is my first rare deck on the thread. Sorry I haven't posted been busy . Here is my Dan and Dave Magic Con 2012 deck. I didn't go Magic Con (as I live in the UK) but I loved the deck so I bought one separately. I loved the colour scheme and back design.

Here are the images
Sorry this giant fan is poor. Thanks for looking. I will TRY and post some more soon.

Time to explain where I have been all this time. Well, I have been in and out of hospital which was not great and lots of other stuff has happened since July last year. I always wanted to come back to this collection and it has grown greatly now. I will post some pictures again. They wont be eveyday but they will be more often that they have been.

I am sorry for not posting because I think many people were liking my collection. Please ask, if you have any questions and stay tuned for some pictures (some time tommorow).

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Hiya and a warm welcome back
Sorry to hear you`ve had a bad year and hope everything is going much better for you.
I`m glad that you`ll be starting posting more of your collection, i do enjoy you displays
Jase
