Magic has been synonomous with casting spells for generations. Take the Arthurian Legend for example - one of the key characters Merlin the Magician had the power to cast spells and is perhaps the most legendary ‘magical’ figure of all time.

If you fancy doing a card sleight, here’s a nice little card trick you can try called The Magic Spell. Basically, you reveal a chosen card by apparently casting a spell. Great fun.

If card sleights don’t appeal to you but you quite like the idea of delving more into the Arthurian Legend in music, there’s a unique symphonic rock album based on it. Called ‘The Earth In Turquoise‘ you can download mp3 samples by following the link.

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, many people like to get together and play cards at this time of year. The dark nights and cold temperatures tend to make us all feel like spending more time indoors of course and playing cards is a great way to spend time with friends.

You only need a basic table and any old pack of cards of course to enjoy a good game of cards - the company is probably the most important thing BUT if you treat yourself to a new deck of playing cards such as you can find amongst these super poker cards in our online store, then you’ll enjoy quite a lift.

There’s also a few other ‘tools’ to make your card playing games more enjoyable - such as this wood grain automatic card shuffler. Cool! And, if you play poker, you might want to try out a new pair of poker sunglasses, again in our online store followed by - last but not least - a smart, black poker shirt.

The cards, the shuffler, sunglasses and shirt - now that’s a neat Christmas gift package for any card player!
