My Simple Life Diary - How Good Is Your Lifestyle Compared With Mine?
I’ve started collecting decks recently. Not those ordinary decks, which came free from buying beers or what so ever, these are some nice custom decks made by a few deck manufacturers. These decks were from Ellusionist and Theory11.
From Left
Top: Bicycle Guardians (Theory11), Bicycle Shadow Masters (Ellusionist), Bicycle Black Ghost - Second Edition (Ellusionist), Bicycle Black Tiger (Ellusionist), Bicycle Centurions (Theory11)
Center: Bicycle Vintage 1800 Series - Blue (Ellusionist), Bicycle Masters Edition - Blue (Ellusionist), Bicycle Ghost (Ellusionist), Bicycle Masters Edition - Red (Ellusionist), Bicycle Vintage 1800 Series - Red (Ellusionist)
Bottom: Bicycle Rider Back - Blue (USPCC), Tally-Ho Black Viper Circle Back (Ellusionist), David Blaine - SplitSpades: Lion - Black (Theory11), Tally-Ho Black Viper Fan Back (Ellusionist), Bicycle Rider Back - Red (USPCC)
Most of the decks were came from my cousin because he’s going to US soon. So he gave me some of his collections to me and I start addicted to them. And another reason was that one of my “client” who was also a magician, she posted a video of her deck collections on her YouTube channel and I start interested on the decks. I’m not a magician but I do know a few tricks.
These are the coolest decks I’ve ever had because they are black. Not just the box were black in colour, the cards itself are black.
Here’s the example of black cards. The one I’m showing was the latest deck from Ellusionist, Bicycle Black Ghost - Second Edition. Why do I have to say it’s the second edition? Because the first edition were never sold and it’s only given away as a gift. The first edition was sold on Ebay at the price of USD450 for a deck.
They look old but actually they are not. They designed it that way. The designer for this deck were so great that everytime when I hold the deck, I thought it was a very old deck. Look how old they are. It looks like it was dug out from an ancient time.
These decks are from Theory11. Thought their box was black, but their cards were not. For the David Blaine - Split Spades: Lion, I really love it. It has alot of mysteries going on inside this deck of cards.
If you see the upside down Ace of Spades, you can see it’s actually a small letter D and B (db). That was his name, David Blaine.
As you can see the Ace of Spades, the bottom which says SplitSpades and Stutzman, the designer of the deck.
And when you turn it upside down, you will see the word Blaine and the word Superstitious. Isn’t it cool? The designer were just impressive. I really like this deck alot for their creativity.
Can you see David Blaine?
The blue and the red Bicycle Masters Edition were the better quality of the Bicycle Rider Back. They have also changed the Ace of Spades to the eagle version. It was a very nice deck.
And last but not least, it’s also one of my first deck, my favourite deck, the scariest deck I’ve ever own, the Bicycle Ghost.
Everything about this deck is black, white and blood red. They are really cool and spooky, as you can see from the name itself, Ghost.
Each of the deck cost from RM10 to RM40. You can’t buy directly from the official website of Ellusionist due to our Malaysian Customs were really strict but it has no problem on Theory11.
So, how do I get some of these decks from Malaysia? I got them from either Magic Garage or The Magic Street. I would highly recommend this 2 sites if you want to purchase decks or other magician tools, gimmicks and videos.
Magic Garage actually has a public forum to discuss anything about magics, reviews of all the products and friendly people inside. They are really nice and people there as I’ve knew a few friends from there already.
The Magic Street doesn’t have any forum but their stuff there were a little cheaper.
That’s all for now. I’ve been inactive due to some reasons. One of the reason is because I hardly went out. But don’t worry, I’ll post interesting articles whenever I could. Thanks for reading my article, peace out.
Recently me and Yeevon saw a shop lot hotel name Hotel Smart at Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara. What so interesting about this hotel is that they added a banner which says “Hour Use RM35″ which means RM35 per hour for renting a room.
How smart can it be?
Too smart.
For 2 hours you can rent a room at a budget hotel for a day and some may provide breakfast. For this one? Is it way too much?
Seriously, I can’t think of anything else we can do with an hour other than opening a room to have sex? Sorry but this is the only idea I could think of. I’m way too dirty minded
. Another thing we can do in an hour is to have a quick bath and prepare for a meeting or an appointment.
If you calculate for a day (24 hours), it will be RM840 (RM35 x 24 hours) and with that price, you can rent 2 Family Suites room at Royale Bintang Damansara which is nearby.
Will go there and have a “look” when I’m free
. Peace out.
It’s done !!! (I guess not). There are still minor modifications I will need to make before it is fully ready. But the main part is ready.
The new theme is call Gossip City, which created by Design Disease. What do you think? Better than the last time? Or the old one is better?

Actually, the requirements for my theme are complicated. The theme that meets my requirement needs are hard to find in the web. But luckily, I found a theme which met my minimum requirements.
The previous theme I’ve used was GlossyBlue, created by N.Design Studio. I love their themes but they only created 2 beautiful themes. I do hope they will design more free WordPress themes for the people.
Just a little bored at home and since my step brother came to my house visit our dad. He brought along his children as well. Just a while ago, my room turns wild like a zoo
. Though some may be naughty but I still like them. Here are their faces.

The Naughty Jeremie

The Irritating Julian

The Beautiful Charmaine and Cute Aidan

The Handsome Brendan
Luckily they didn’t bring down the house because they were jumping up and down. Anyway, that’s all for now.
I was just testing out the new Wordpress 2.5. I still find it problematic. Here are the list of problems.
These are the only problems I’m facing right now but I guess I will sort of finding solutions. I know there are many out there facing the same problem now. I really love the interface. Check it out at Wordpress.org.
