Hi guys,

my Black Club membership will expire in one day. I still have the three free downloads and I don't know to choose.

I was thinking about
1. http://www.ellusionist.com/lightspeed-by-justin-miller.html
2. http://www.ellusionist.com/blur-transpo-by-justin-miller.html
3. http://www.ellusionist.com/coin-through-glass-by-alex-ward.html

Thank you for your suggestions, exchange, answers in advance.

You got mine via PM.

Basically, consider a) what you like which also falls in the range of what you are comfortable performing, and b) getting the most bang for your buck.  I just wish the selection was this rich when I made my video choices last year - some of the newer material there I would have happily chosen.

I don't know where to post, but I got this in my email from E about new products for renewing membership or entering as a new member in Black Club.

http://www.ellusionist.com/black-club-membership.html

No more Blue Rounders, etc, etc, now you'll get a lot of "read more+" and a lot of "The Fine Print:" LOL! :D Ok, that was fun! :D

So, no Victor Inox kit :(, just a "welcome kit" who nobody buy it on ebay and the products are so old like my grand grandmother : Rare Gold Arcane Uncut Sheet, Gold Artifice Deck & Black Club Artifice Deck. Oh, let's not forget about 5% and a "rare" free 3 downloads.

If you'll liked this "rare" offer to enter on renewing your member ship in Black Club, now is the moment. Also, prepare your wallet, because "In 2015, Ellusionist will release a minimum of 12 decks but this may well become a maximum of 20. We have a LOT of amazing projects in the works, including the new Madison Presents range."

Another though, not good news, maybe the USD will be at the same value of the Euro in this December.

What the heck is a "Victor Inox" kit?  Swiss Army surplus?  :))

Simply put, yes it has benefits, but it's pretty costly and requires that you have faith in what Ellusionist is producing.  People who held memberships for that second year have for the most part lost that faith.  We were given a lot of promises and felt like they weren't upheld.  For a $20 club, that's not the end of the world, but for a $147 club, that's a lot to shell out yet again while keeping your fingers crossed.

The "free deck" program isn't anywhere near as exciting as it might have been because of the glut of look-alike decks and decks from Daniel Madison.  It's also interesting that they are capping the free deck program - if they come out with 21 or 22 decks (it's a stretch, but it could happen), BC members are capped out at 20.

Now that E is offering a Gold Arcane deck for signing up as a new member, I'm wondering if now a 1st yr member can buy another Gold Artifice for $25 each or still the $100 until you sign up again. I sent them an email to see.

They are offering the uncut sheet of gold arcanes, not the deck. Also, after you sign up, you can always buy the gold artifice at $25 again.

Lets see if we receive the 12 decks as promised.  To say up to 20 is far fetched when we're already in April (1/3 into the year) with only two releases since signing up in December.  1-Black King & 1-Lions Den

I guess time will only tell.....

Well, judging from the number of releases they had last year, there's a good chance they'll hit the mark.  It'll just be mostly cards that have a Daniel Madison logo on them somewhere...  Even if they don't have 12 releases, they'll find some loophole and give you at least a dozen decks - maybe even a rare one or two.

I meant the Gold Artifice deck.
