Dimitri with Theory11

2012-08-13T19:29:00.003-07:00

Dimitri is in the building!
Something amazing will come out soon!
Let's watch the OPERA by Dimitri Arleri.

今早Theory11發布了一張照片
是Dimitri在T11內部的拍攝狀況
看來T11未來會有驚人的東西

讓我們來看看Dimitri Arleri的影片
我情願不要說他是Cardistry，但也不全然是XCM
Cardistry這個字早就在其他地方出現過了，它的定義並不是花式紙牌

Gambler's Ring 賭徒戒

2012-08-11T02:51:00.000-07:00

Collection of 925 silver jewelry is also my personal interest.
I especially prefer the 925 sterling silver things.
If I have enough money, I want all 925 silver things such as pen, lighter, watch...

收集純銀飾品也是我個人的興趣
我特別偏好925純銀的東西，若有錢的話，不論筆、打火機、手錶等
只要有純銀的我都想買齊

I bought the ring at 5, 6 years ago. At that time, the price of silver is still very low.
This ring is quite lavish with a large amount of silver to produce.
Thickness, and weight are ample. it only a little hollowed out on the back.

這次跟大家介紹我五、六年前在銀價還很低的時候買的一個純銀戒指
這個戒指相當奢侈的用了大量的銀來製作
厚度、份量都十足，背面只有少許挖空

For magician, XCMer and Gambler, The jewelry on hand is very important.
This allows you to attract the attention, and you can do some other things privately at same time.
However, my ring is not only for attracting the attention.
There are other ulterior design.

對於魔術師、牌術師、老千來說，手上的飾品是相當重要的
這可以讓你有效的吸引對象的目光，私底下做一些其他的事情
而我這個戒指不是只有單單吸引目光的功能而已
還有很多其他的心機設計

Basically, it is a skull.
Two eyeball all are the dice. One is five-points, the other is two.
The part of the nose is spades. This is named the theme of the gamblers.
This can for the prediction. Something like the seven of spade or five and two spade.

整體設計來說他是一個骷髏頭
兩個眼珠子都是骰子，分別是五點與兩點
鼻子的部分是黑桃，這充分點名賭徒的主題
除此之外，這還可以作為預言，黑桃七或是黑桃五與二

Besides, there is a large area polished on the back.
It can for something like peeking.

還有他的背面
有著超大面積拋光的戒身
可以用來作為偷看牌之類的巧

This ring is quite exaggerated.
Usually, I will not wear it.
I never wear it to complete an entire bet. At most I used it to the magic show.
In my opinion, the appropriate jewelry is good for your show or special requirements.
Unfortunately, silver's price is getting higher and higher.
I can not unlimited buy silver like before.

這個戒指是相當誇張
平常我是不會戴在手上的
或是說，我從來沒有將他帶在手上完成一整個賭局
頂多用來魔術表演而已
但我個人認為
適當的飾品還是會對你的表演或是特殊要求有不少的加分
可惜現在純銀的價格越來越高了

不能在像以前一樣無限制的亂買了

Custom Joe Porper Card Clip

2012-08-07T01:09:00.001-07:00

Classic Bali-song BM42

2012-08-05T01:38:00.003-07:00

Looking for a great butterfly knife?

This butterfly-knife is your best choice.

Butterfly knife, also known as Balisong.

你在尋找好用的蝴蝶刀嗎?

這把蝴蝶刀絕對是你最好的選擇

蝴蝶刀又稱Balisong

This is the classic balisong BM42.

It is made by Benchmade company from U.S.A. Benchmade is a small number of U.S. production of butterfly knife.

Their design quality has been impressive since long time ago.

這把蝴蝶刀中的經典 BM42

是由美國蝴蝶牌公司所製造，他是美國少數製作蝴蝶刀的公司

在製作蝴蝶刀的設計品質上很早就已經令人印象深刻。

The blade shape is practical Weehawk . The material is 154CM stainless steel.

154CM is an American steel. The hardness is aout 60HRC. Even so, it is is still tough enough, rather than fragile.

154CM is one of the Benchmade specify the materials used.

刀刃的部分採用實用的Weehack形狀，材質是154CM不鏽鋼。

154CM不鏽鋼是一種美國的鋼材，硬度約為60HRC，即使硬度如此高仍然具有足夠的堅韌度。

154CM是也美國蝴蝶公司指定用的材料之一。

The handles are milled titanium and feature a skeletonized frame style. It provide you great grip feeling.

Besides, there are all satin finishing around the handles. It is very hard to done this.

Whole processing must use the robotic arm. Therefore, the satin line will be completely obedient to the surface.

手柄的部分是由整塊純鈦合金銑削而成，有著特殊造型的簍空設計，增加握感。

除此之外，整個手柄的表面都有做髮絲處理，而在這種曲面下所完成的髮絲處理不是一般工廠可以辦到的，而是全程要用機械手臂一個一個去加工，這樣髮絲線才會完全服貼表面。

The 42 also has a titanium spring latch to secure the knife open and closed.

The latch has a spring to keep it open- it won't bump and scratch your handle while you play with it!

Benchmade holds the patent of the latch in the United States.

The latch is milled of titanium too. This is quite a waste of material process.

However, it can provide the highest texture.

這把42有著最著名的彈簧扣設計，讓你可以輕鬆開啟鎖扣，且不會干擾你耍蝴蝶刀。

這個設計在美國由蝴蝶公司持有專利。

鎖扣也是整塊鈦合金銑削而成，相當浪費材料的製程，可是卻可以提供最高的質感。

Blade Length: 4.20"

Blade Thickness: 0.125"
Blade Material: 154CM Stainless Steel
Blade Hardness: 58-60HRC
Overall Length: 9.4"
Closed Length: 5.2"
Weight: 4.1oz

刀片長度：10.67cm

刀片厚度：0.32cm

葉片材料：154CM不銹鋼

刀片硬度：58-60HRC

總長度：23.876cm

閉合長度：13.208cm

重量：116g

BM42 is absolutely the classic design. No matter the length or weight are very good to play it.

Compare with China one, those are always too heavy (tin) or too light (aluminum).

BM42是相當經典的設計，他不論長度、重量都相當好甩。

相較於一般市面上的大陸製蝴蝶刀，42的重量116g剛剛好，再拋接的時候慣性都足夠。

不會太重丟不起來，也不會因為太輕沒有慣性。

Here is my old video.

這邊附上我以前拍的影片

Unfortunately, the classic BM42 has been discontinued for a while.

BM62 substitute for BM42. BM62 is all steel without spring latch.

Due to the material is too exclusive, BM42 is not so cheap. The price is around 250~260 USD.

可惜，這把經典的蝴蝶刀在前陣子停產了

取而代之的是BM62，材料是全不鏽鋼，沒有彈簧扣

由於BM42所使用的材料都太過高級，每年原物料上漲，蝴蝶公司都會調整價格

現在可以找到的價位大概在260~280美金左右。

Balisong is not totally legal in every states. I do not propose to carry it to every here.
It is very danger! Please protect yourself completely before you play it.
蝴蝶刀在台灣絕對合法，並不受槍砲彈藥刀械管制條例限制，但不建議隨身攜帶
且具有一定危險性，練習前請做好充足防護措施

Titanium Series by Theory11

2012-08-04T11:30:00.000-07:00

This is a introduction of Titanium Series by Theory11.
Basically, these are just the metal ink version of normal deck.
it are including the most common 808, player favorite Tally-Ho, and casino quality Bee.

這次要來介紹Theory11的金屬油墨系列
簡單來說，他就是把幾個經典的牌背改用金屬油墨印製
其中有最常見的808，玩家喜愛的Tally-Ho，還有賭場等級的Bee

Basically, these are all the same design as the original one. However, these printed by metal ink.
However, these are not just the back, but also the court card and the face all are printed by metal ink.
It is quite beautiful.

基本上設計都跟原本的牌一樣，只是顏料都改成有金屬質感的
但不但只是牌背，牌面的人頭牌，還有紅心與方塊，都是使用金屬油墨
看起來相當漂亮

There are one two-back card and one commercial card.
每副牌中都有附兩張雙背牌與一張廣告牌

In my opinion, these are ordinary for performance.
My advice is just for collection.
It is hard to notice it is metal ink in a film after all.

使用起來表現普普通通
個人建議當作收藏好看就好了

畢竟要在影片中看出金屬油墨的質感也不容易

Cardistry Collaboration Contest 2011

2012-08-03T01:34:00.002-07:00

This old video is for Cardistry Collaboration Contest 2011.

這影片是我當年我參加了一個比賽
叫做Cardistry Collaboration Contest 2011所拍攝的影片

The director is Kete.
I have to admit I'm not a good performer. After all, I was the natural limit.

當時請Kete來協助我，拍了一些撲克牌花式
我承認我不是個花式高手，畢竟我受到天身上的限制

But we have a new of CCC2011. The champion of CCC2011 still do not get the prize yet.
What's going on? Let's watch the video of the champion.

但今天有趣了，當年CCC2011的冠軍到現在都還沒拿到獎品
到底發生了甚麼事情呢?
我們來看看當年冠軍的影片

Kete根據黏貼性與獨特性，請帥哥陳仰沛製作了這個蟒蛇皮的牌夾

Chen Yang-Pei's handiwork is very trustworthy.

It's more detailed and the edge is very smooth.

It made of the silver card clip.

陳仰沛的手工非常值得信任，且非常精細

邊緣也處理得非常漂亮

這個牌夾是使用DD所販賣的銀色ㄇ形牌夾

The most prominent feature of the scales is to either watch or touch can be felt very different feelings from different angles.

使用蛇皮作為素材最大的特點就是，不論你用看的還是摸的你都可以清楚地發現不同的角度所給你的感受

The snake card clip series are very beautiful. I really want one too.

這類蛇皮的牌夾真的很漂亮，搞得我也想訂做一個了

Blood Blades v2

2012-08-02T06:44:00.002-07:00

This time I want to introduce one of my recent favorite poker.
I have disappointed for UPSCC for a long time, since the factory move.
However, Blood Blades v2 let me have the confidence to UPSCC again. Even it's just a little.

這次來介紹一副我很喜歡的撲克牌。
自從UPSCC搬家之後，我已經對他失望很久了
但這副牌再度讓我對UPSCC有了信心，但只是一點而已。

The Blood Blades v2 by De'vo felt quite good.
Although I did not have the opportunity to collect the v1. But v2 quite to my satisfaction.

這次De'vo所印製的Blood Blades v2手感相當好。
雖然我沒機會收藏到v1，但v2相當令我滿意。

It is a little thinner than the normal 808. However, it has very good flexibility and hardness.
It remind me of the Tally-Ho with blue label. Formerly, almost all XCMer used the Tally-Ho with blue label. And I only have several.

他比一般的牌還要薄一點，可是卻有著相當好的彈性及硬度。
讓我回想起當年藍色標籤的Tally-Ho，當時的XCMer幾乎都是用藍標的Tally-ho，我個人只有保留了幾副。

Blood Blades v2 is very good for fan, of course. Besides, it is good for cut, in a way. This is definitely not the deck can only cut but fan. Indeed, this is the ultimate feel that De'vo pursuit.

Blood Blades v2相當適合開扇，但某種層面上也很適合切牌。並不是一副只能切牌但卻不能開扇的牌。不虧是De'vo所追求的極致手感。

The face is the same design as Blades series with black an red.
I quite like the design of the back. It is striking red for the film.
In addition, this is one-way back design.
Reference Kete blog

牌面的設計與之前的Blades系列一樣，黑色與紅色。
牌背的設計我相當喜歡，是在影片中搶眼的紅色系列。
除此之外牌背的設計是單向的，這可以參考Kete的網誌。

Let's talk about the cards.

It's very high quality for UPSCC, in a way. It's good for fan, a little hard but not so hard.

The back is very striking design. Some one say this is the LTD of theroy11 version. I like it. And it's traditionally cut.

non one way back design by the way. This deck is thicker than normal 808. The thickness of charity: water is 15.76mm (52 cards).

我們來談談撲克牌吧。

這次的水慈善撲克算是UPSCC近期來相當高等級的產品，很適合開扇，有點硬又不會太硬。
牌被是個相當搶眼的設計，有人說這就像是theory11版的LTD，我相當喜歡這樣的設計。

他的牌邊切邊是傳統裁切。比起一般的808，水慈善撲克略厚，52張厚度為15.76mm。

Smoke Mirror v7?

2012-08-01T08:07:00.006-07:00

The new DD deck is printed in black and the design is same as DD v4-6.
However, some one may know that the green was processed into black in this picture.
We can only wait for v7 coming.

這是前陣子DD兄弟在他們個人頁面上發布的照片
應該有不少專家知道這張照片只是拿綠色的牌盒處理成黑色而已
但現在我們也只能等待

If I would like to convince you, I will use more realistic photo.

換作是我
我就會拿比較逼真的照片來說服大家

White Lions B Box

2012-08-01T02:17:00.000-07:00

This the new deck form David Blaine.
We could only see the White Lions Series B (BLUE)
Unfortunately, this is not the previous edition we saw.
We are not sure the previous edition will sale with the gift box or not.

And the price of White Lions Series B is
$11.90 - $59.40 Pricing 2 decks - $11.90 + Shipping and Handling ($5.95 ea.) 12 decks - $59.40 + Shipping and Handling ($4.95 ea.) - 17% discount

The basic purchase unit is two decks or one brick.
Besides, the official website has removed the others items form shelves.
It seems they want to avoid making mistakes.

According the photos we got, this time will come with the special custom box of brick.
It emblazoned with the 'db' sign.
David Blaine really want the White Lions Series to be ultimate collection as Dan and Dave's decks.

Design of the poker back and face do not seem too much to change.

The actual situation will have confirmed after we get it.

==============================

David Blaine販售的新牌

只有看到White Lions Series B (BLUE)的部份

這點讓人感覺相當可惜

不知道之前看到的其他版本

會不會用禮盒組販售

至於White Lions Series B的價格區間

則是$11.90 - $59.40

Pricing
2 decks - $11.90 + Shipping and Handling ($5.95 ea.)
12 decks - $59.40 + Shipping and Handling ($4.95 ea.) - 17% discount

以兩副和一條當作基本來計算

而且官網把其他商品都下架

看來就是為了避免出錯

而且依照宣傳照片

看來這次整條版本會有特別訂製盒

上面印有大衛的標誌

看來真的就是和DD相同

一起邁向精緻收藏路線

至於牌面設計看來沒有太多改變

實際狀況就要等入手確認了！

Blood Blades v2

2012-07-31T02:29:00.000-07:00

Many peoples miss the 1st run of Blood Blades.

So this time, De'vo give everyone the Blood Blades 2nd run.

Now, we can get such a good feeling deck of cards.

Basically, the design is without any change.

How could we tell the difference of 1st and 2nd run?

Let's start form the sign of box.

The 1st (right) is red.

The 2nd (left) is more orange.

Form the back of box.

The red color of 1st (right) is darker, and the 2nd (left) is lighter.

The 1st more like blood color.

By picture, we can see the 2nd (left) is lighter then 1st (right).

It is very easy to distinguish these two run. Even you shuffle these together.

Besides, this color difference could be your "key card", if there are any necessary in magic.

Last, the one way design are the same.
