After a day of rain, meetings, classes, and heavy fever I was fortunate enough to receive my amazing Reddit Secret Santa package. I dug through the first layer of stuffing, only... to strike gold.

Inside was nothing more than 30 decks of premium Bicycle Playing Cards. 14 of which are custom collector design decks, each with different theme and artwork!! The other 16, standard Bicycle Playing Cards!!

To fill you all in, I am a practicing magician. I've been one for the past 8 years. I've been doing everything from close-up card magic, stage magic, and even parlor. So to me, these decks of cards are more than just decks of cards. They're what I've been using to keep others entertained, and myself busy. In a sense, you can think of it as the equivalent of getting a painter a set of his/her favorite brushes, or even a pianist a brand new piano. And I've already written to my SS about all of this, so this is just for the rest of you guys!

I will say that this is by far one of THE BEST gifts I've ever received, Reddit Secret Santa or not, so I'd also like to take the time to thank Reddit for setting all of this up! The little magical child I am has never felt happier.

I look forward to the day I can make my SS proud by becoming a famous magician, and then I can say it was all thanks to his beautiful cards!!
