“Today iTricks brings you what could possibly be the weirdest flourishing video of all time. It is both Dan and Dave Buck on the children’s TV show “Lazy Town” .

The Bee® Erdnase Playing Cards were inspired by the original publication of The Expert at the Card Table, often referred to as “Erdnase”. Printed by the US Playing Card Company on a premium Aristocrat stock using the traditional casino Bee® back design with an added white border. The producer of these cards used the same color green as the first edition, as well as incorporated the look and feel of the book into every detail of these cards. With a box that mimics the cover, an elegant back design, custom jokers and Ace of Spades, and two ad cards with a reprinted title page and Preface, these cards beautifully pay homage to what many consider the “Bible” of card technique.
Because we are unsure where these cards came from as they were obtained from an anonymous seller, we can’t say how long they will be available for or how many there actually are. We simply don’t know. dananddave.com was only able to obtain a limited amount and they do expect to sell out this month.
Exclusively available at dananddave.com while supplies last.

iTricks has also learned from someone with knowledge of the situation that a popular magic industry blogger may have been tapped to host the affair. Responding to insinuation made in the last sentence, iTricks’ own Justin Robert Young offered only a “stay tuned” when asked if he was involved.
