[edit] XCM (Xtreme Card Manipulation)

The article has all sorts of problems but it's basically an advert for one person's personal take on card manipulation. The article starts: "Xtreme Card Manipulation is a term coined by De’vo vom Schattenreich, one of the foremost card manipulators in the world." (POV problems) and later goes on to say "unlike magic tricks, XCM is not intended to deceive." which is patently false, magic is meant to entertain people. Any magician that aims to deceive their audience will run out of audiences pretty quickly. And to top it all off the bottom of the article contains various links to commercial websites (2 for each effect). It's obsolete with card manipulation which focusses on the art as a whole rather than how one particular person views it. Apparently De’vo vom Schattenreich broke the world record coin rolling, so I'll encourage the creator to change tacks. Delete. - Mgm|^(talk) 18:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• For exactly the same reasons that I gave in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Extreme card manipulation, delete. Note that a redirect would be pointless here. Uncle G 13:02, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
