Later that year the forum was created and Shadow started coming up with ideas. Our forum and community continued to grow over time. Here we are in 2006, still growing and learning.

Having been mentioned in Card Player Magazine and the October 2004 Premiere issue of Bluff Magazine, we have been fortunate that major media publications recognize our work. In the April 2006 issue of World Poker Tour Magazine we did a 4 page article of various poker chip tricks. In August 2006 we started writing regular chip trick articles for Poker Pro Magazine.
In 2006 TheEMan made a poker chip tricks commercial with PokerStars and started working on a chip tricks dvd. Rich Ferguson has many dvds in the marketplace that teach chip tricks and card flourishes.
Our Media Section has a timeline of our history with publications.

KEM cards are popular in casinos in part because of their durability. People purchase playing cards for different reasons and what is best for a poker player is not what is best for a magician. Magicians and Card Flourishers prefer Bicycle cards and Bee cards to KEM cards because the paper finish is better for handling than the plastic finish on KEM cards. Bicycle Cards come in all kinds of cool looking colors and variations. The Bicycle Black Tigers and Bicycle Ghosts are among my favorites. The Tally-Ho Vipers are also popular with card flourishers. Keep in mind that there is a trade off, the paper cards have a great feel to them but they do not last nearly as long as plastic KEM cards and they are not as durable. Poker chip tricks and playing card tricks are a lot of fun and we have some talented folks in our forums who enjoy sharing what they've learned. The folks in our forums talk both about the tricks themselves and about which supplies work best.
What is a card flourish?
New members sometimes ask what a flourish is so we had Niiro 13 put together an explanation:

Tricks are generally card manipulations done to create a magic effect. Changing a card from one to another would be called a trick.
Flourishes on the other hand, are things done to cards to show skill. Things such as fanning and shooting the cards from one hand to another are flourishes. They don't do anything magical.
Now, XCM, or Xtreme Card Manipulation is a term coined by De'vo vom Schattenreich. Because of this name, flourishes are now regarded as a name. While XCM moves fall into the definition of flourishes, they are pure displays of skill.
A flourish to today's XCMers is a name. Flourishes are XCM moves used to enhance magic. So instead of spreading through the cards normally and asking someone to pick a card, magicians may fan the deck. Daryl's Hot Shot cut can be used to reveal a selected card. That is a flourish, though many times XCMers use it as a utility move.

Paulson poker chips are widely regarded as the best. However, they are usually at least 1 US Dollar each and sometimes more expensive(for rare editions). Having been collection chips for years, I appreciate the high end chips like Paulson and Chipco. When I first started collecting poker chips I purchased some of the less expensive brands out there. I still believe that people shouldn't break the bank on the first chip set. Some people don't play home games often and don't carry chips around with them for chips so less expensive brands might be fine for them.
We've reviewed just about every chip out there from the low end 11.5 gram imports to the high end Paulson and Chipcos. I urge you to take a look at our reviews and decide which chip is best for you. We've also setup some exclusive discounts with some of the biggest chip stores on the internet so be sure to take advantage of them!
All our reviews are on a 5 star system as follows:
1 Star Rating = Worst
5 Star Rating = Best
