To celebrate the new year, this is truly a special report that looks at my early inspirations, mentors, and the people who inspire me today.  The report culminates with nine cardmen showcasing their special talents by sharing their thinking, moves, variants, and magic.  Video contributions are from Bill Malone (pull-out w/ cascade), Rod the Hop (original pull-out), Jack Carpenter (fan strip shuffle), Sal Piacente (total recall scanning, aka ‘TRS’), David Malek (riffle stacking), Noel S. (N-transfer), Jack Tighe (pop-up second), FF (greek deal), and Miguel Webb (one-handed cooler).
