Vote in the Poll above. I honestly am undecided. All four of these comapanies have great holiday contests and products coming out. I feel like I'm in a "mid-life" crisis. Vote anyways above!

Nothing's really caught my eye in the maelstrom of new releases (Night of The Living Deck was one, I like the Infinity deck).  I have probably spent the most at resellers but from big companies selling their own stuff, it's been D&D (got IAOCP, Erdnasium and 2 Fantastiques recently).

I'll snag a couple Infinity decks but that's it. Nothing coming out this holiday is particularly good in terms of decks. I'm done buying from Theory11, and to my knowledge D&D don't have a new deck coming out this month.

I pledged for the Galvanic as well. As far as purchases go, I've been buying decks that I need to complete my collection while selling the ones I do not care for.

Aside from vintage decks, I only collect certain modern decks that appeal to me.

I've spent money at T11 and D&D, to be sure, but I spent the most at E, without a doubt.  Second place would be Tannen's Magic Shop in midtown Manhattan - went on a bender in there early this year!  I've put somewhere into the four figures into my collection of both cards and magic in general.  It gives me great pleasure to use it all.

Well, things change... just put in an $80 or thereabouts order with E.  You come for the Infinity and then....


Amazingly, the order was placed and 4 hours later it was shipped!  Not 2 days... 4 hours.  Not 12 days like D&D; 4 F.... reaking hours.  Spectacular.

The poll is meant to be for the company that you spent the most on, if I made it a multi-poll vote, I'm sure most of us will just click all the options.

That's awesome.
Could you tell us what did you order in general?
I need an idea what to order too.
Now I have only about $100 in my wishlist.


$150 is possible for me, but reaching the black ghost v1 is.... well, very difficult.

A great purchase!

I'm very tempted on the pure smoke.
In the other hand, I'm thinking is it a good  idea to spend all my money  on that...
I need to work more, but it's so hard to find a part time job here.

I'm a little bit worried about the size and the length of the tube. It might be too big for me.

That's both impressive and scary!  I actually have nearly every single item you ordered!

I'm a little bit worried about the size and the length of the tube. It might be too big for me.

What would stop you from trimming the tube to fit you better?  Pure Smoke is just too sweet an item for a working magician to pass up!  I'm itching to order one soon.

I spent only around 45$ at Ellusionist, I just bought cards I didn't have yet :) and I'm trying to place an order for 160$ at Dan and Dave but their checkout system doesn't seem to accept my money... I'm waiting on their customer support :)


Edit: Also, depending on my expenses, I might finally get that pure smoke in a couple of weeks.. and grab a LTD deck at the same time! :D

What were you dropping that much coin on at D&D?  Can't all be Fantastique decks, can it?  :)

It fits any size. Even if you are small, it will work fine!
