Any magic fans out there?

A couple of "mind-readers" from the 1940's. Love this shit.

I think we are all big fans of Earvin Johnson on this site.

Love playing Magic...but it's too expensive to play anymore.

Hey Rocky, watch me pull this rabbit out of a hat!

True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend.

I'm listening to this... what is this I am a tad rattled

This is great!

Expensive hobby, to be sure. Especially if you want to play tournaments and not get destroyed. I play with my friends, most of whom spend about the same amount on MtG as I do, so it works out okay, but I have no interest in getting embarrassed by strangers who spend all of their disposable income on goddamn cards.

Am I the only guy who clicked the link?

Are you sure you would be the embarrassed one?

The last of my friends that play, are the kind that spend a ton on decks and cards. It's not very fun anymore, plus I think Wizards of the Coast has overcomplicated the game with Planeswalkers and the like.

For the love of God, can ykut guys pls have this discussion on trcmb? Any idea how bad this makes us look now?

Full disclosure: I owned a starter deck back from the mid 90s. Is it worth anything if by chance I still have it?

I'm sure there's someone who would pay for it, but it's probably not going to fetch a lot.

Also, I don't think this site is big enough for a MTG discussion to hurt the site's street cred.

I used to love the Magic when they had Lil Penny.

I am a HUGE fan

Yes, I love this type of stuff. Thanks for the link.

Check out the American Masters on Ricky Jay...

A lot of moments where you are left saying 'how the fuck did he do that?'.

William Goldman's book Magic is scary, and the movie is creepy, too.

There's black magic, magic mushrooms, magic johnson, magic 105.1. There's magic the gathering, illusion magic, Siegried and Roy magic, Cris Angel magic, David Copperfield magic. There's Houdini magic, the magic kingdom, majik Jack, You can do magic by America. That's about it.
