Magician of the Week - Neil Patrick Harris

As my interest grew in magic, so did my interest in cardistry.

Neil Patrick Harris is known internationally as an actor appearing on TV as a child actor in Dougie Houser MD, How I met Your Mother, The Smurfs and many other films and TV shows.

Neil is also a magician and a member of the Magic Castle in the US. Known for performing magic during some of his interviews with the likes of Ellen.

His interest in magic and performing also extends to children’s books and he has written a series of children’s magic novels.

In addition to writing books, Neil also designed a deck of cards called NPH. I think it is fair to say that this deck of cards designed by Neil is partly responsible for my interest in collecting cards and reviewing decks in my Vlog.

The NPH cards are most collectable and are produced by Theory 11. A favourite If mine to the extent that I purchased two decks so that I can keep one sealed. Read more here.
