Hi from Sydney

[Sinecure]

Hi all

I’ve always loved playing cards but have only just recently had my eyes opened to the world of modern decks and the community around it. Am working on a small collection (around 30 decks acquired over the past 6 months) each of which I treasure in their own way and love handling. Doing my best not to empty my wallet too quickly.

Learning some basic cardistry, flourishes and simple sleights - slow progress but I’m getting there. I’ve managed to impress my 11 year old a couple of times - so that’s something.

Ive been lurking on these boards a bit so thought I should introduce myself. Great to be here.

Welcome aboard, Sinecure!

Beware! The rabbit hole runs very deep.

Welcome Sinecure. Well, if you can impress your 11 year old with your skills, you have surpassed me.

I second rousselle's warning. Watch out for warning signs "Beware Lotrek - Delays Ahead" and "Stockholm17 - No Exit"

Hi Sinecure,

I'm from Sydney (Australia?) also. Good to have another Aussie around, there are a few of us here and on the various FB groups, but its definitely a harder hobby to follow from this hemisphere.

Hi there, Sinecure, and welcome to the site.

Welcome aboard - I remember having 30 decks not too long ago - keep an eye on them, they multiply like rabbits

Thanks all for the warm welcome!

Thanks! Glad to to hear there are a few Aussies around to swap local notes with. Those shipping costs and wait times are crazy right now.

Welcome aboard.
