Hey Guys,

It's coming up to my T11 3rd Birthday, (8th Dec, yay)

I wanted to hold a little competition. I've taken a lot from the magic and playing card community over the years, so I just wanted to give something back. If any one is part of playing card forums, I've held competitions on there on a couple occasions too.

Anyway, I wanted to do something different. What I originally had in mind, was, giving you a favourite trick of mine and asking you to go and perform it. Then I thought, this may limit some people as some may not have the trick. Also, would take a bit of time trawling through videos (assuming there's a fair few entries) and I wouldn't want people waiting on me to feed back results. May save this idea for a less busier time.

So I've come up with something to work the brains a little - Riddles, well my attempt at them, at least lol.
I'm a huge fan of puzzles, brainteasers and riddles.
I have made the riddles up myself and they are all playing card related. So could be anything from the names of decks to the suit.

The rules are simple - the person with the most correct answers wins. In the event that there is a tie then it would have to be a random selection.
Be careful though, will only accept your first answers. To be fair, majority are straight forward.

The chosen winner will get a prize, will be 2 decks of premium playing cards (I will clarify later what they are) shipped anywhere for free.

1. Someone full of love ends in a tragic death by his own hands
2. I am mainly affiliated with the British. I have the highest of authorities. I am also an airline.
3. Since 2009, I have been offered on a yearlee basis.
4. I am from an ancient time, there were 4 of me. I represent the 4 seasons. I breathe fire. I screech through the air. I roar with pride. I snap with vengeance.
5. I am beautiful, people get happy when they see me, however, I represent death. I am also a song.
6. Ssshhhh I am no fairy, nor am I a goblin, The Devil is my master.
7. I have 4 sisters, Summer is my favourite but they're all very beautiful.
8. I am whacky, I'm insane, I have an Oscar to my name.
9. I was whole, then I became halved. I will dig your grave.
10. I'll sting you for honey.

Leave your replies below.
If it's successful, I'll be doing it on a yearly basis.
Have Fun :)

Hey guys, thanks to those who entered. Not many people have entered, thought it would be a little more popular, nevermind. Anyway, competition is ending at midnight tonight GMT (so just a little over 5 hours)

I will post the answers here along with the winner at some point tomorrow :)

2. I am mainly affiliated with the British. I have the highest of authorities. I am also an airline. - MONARCH PLAYING CARDS
3. Since 2009, I have been offered on a yearlee basis. - this one was tough, i thought the misspelling of yearly would be a bit of a clue. This was JERRY'S NUGGET PLAYING CARDS (Lee Asher usually offers them for sale every year)

7. I have 4 sisters, Summer is my favourite but they're all very beautiful. SEASONS PLAYING CARDS
8. I am whacky, I'm insane, I have an Oscar to my name. - THE JOKER (Heath Ledger winning a posthumous Oscar for his role)
9. I was whole, then I became halved. I will dig your grave. - SPLIT SPADES
10. I'll sting you for honey. - BEE PLAYING CARDS (or any Bee brand)

Congratulations to Fox13 who got the most right with 5 correct answers.

Send me a PM with you address, I'll get your prize out to you. It's a pair of red & black whispering imps gamesters.

Thanks guy, hope to do this again next year.
