Exciting update from the Browser's Bash

  

From the Browser's Den of Magic Facebook group:

MAJOR NEWS - United States Playing Card Company (USPC) will be joining us as an exhibitor at the Bash. You read that right! 

At their booth, a USPC representative plans to display a selection of their new line of decks, chit-chat about classic brands like Bicycle & Tally-Ho, plus have discussions about the new printing process Metal Lux for those interested in custom-made playing cards.

"I could be wrong, but the Browser's Magic Bash might be the first magic get-together IN RECENT HISTORY that U.S. Playing Card Co. has attended. How cool is that for us?!? If you like playing cards, then here's your chance to meet the most famous playing card manufacturer in the world - live in the flesh" - Lee Asher

As you can imagine, an opportunity such as this doesn't come along often. Furthermore, add twelve hours of magic, lots of fun, a free lunch & dinner, and now you'll start to understand what we mean when we say that this year's Browser's Magic Bash will be BIGGER & BETTER than the last one!
