Sure enough.  Still curious about the printer, though.  :))

Me too!  My initial thought is, of course USPCC.  Given that Lawrence Sullivan sought out a different kind of card than USPCC and came up with Legends tells me that at least one Magician prefers a different handling deck.  I am not well enough versed in Magic tricks or flourishing to say which is better.  I do know that for the first 3 months after receiving the Legends Black version, I didn't really use another deck.  I know you are a big EPCC fan, Don, and a Magician. Do you prefer a EPCC deck for your Magic Act, if so which one?

I like EPCC and LPCC decks in my act, but most of them so far are a little on the costly side and scarce due to limited print runs.  The NOC deck would be a major exception.  The one deck I use most in magic from those two companies is a version 1 Legends deck - having a marking system and all kinds of little goodies hidden on them doesn't exactly hurt!

The thing of it is that I do most of my magic when I'm performing at the hospital.  There, I use whatever decks have been donated to me.  Could be anything from Tally Ho to Blades Blood Metal to Chinese-made Streamlines and everything in between.

Thanks Don.  I am still finding things on the V1 Legends.  The brick deal on NOC's with the free Zen Deck from CARC is tempting me.  I have liked the NOC's since I discovered them, but haven't played much with the V3's.  Now back to the thread, Gatorback Riders!  We shouldn't have to wait too long to see who printed these!   :)

From how the tuckbox file is set up, I'd think it'd be USPCC printed. I find that EPCC and USPCC have different methods for how they create and assemble their tuckboxes especially their non-sideload tuckbox.

But it's exciting to see this deck out. I hope it's the usual DB deck price of 11-12$/2 decks which isn't too bad.

Actually, as I look at the images here, I'm thinking that it's NOT USPC.

First, check out the uncut sheets.  Notice how the green sheet ends in a very narrow margin?  I own a number of USPC uncuts and none of them have a margin like that.  Granted, someone could have cut the sheet there, but why?  And look at the top edge as well - it just doesn't resemble a USPC sheet.

As far as the tuck box, we really can't tell.  While it does appear to be a top loader with a flap at the bottom (the EPCC template doesn't have bottom flaps, utilizing side flaps instead), it's also possible we're looking at a homemade prototype.  The bottom flap does appear to be held in place by the thumb of the hand holding the box.

Maybe I'm just hoping he changed printers?  :))

The tuckbox looks AMAZING! Like everyone else though, I'm curious to see who the printer will be...

You might be right. I still would be shocked if this was not USPCC. That's huge! USPCC should have Blaine under contract much like sporting apparel companies have athletes under contract. If your USPCC, you don't want David Blaine using anything but their playing cards.

I never thought I'd say this but the Taiwan manufacture (Legends & EPCC) are actually making progress taking over the custom card market. Whats USPCC's move?

They are definitely printed at USPCC....going by the template on the tuck artwork posted earlier.  Tuck templates for EPCC decks are different. 

Very excited about this deck...nothing beats the Blaine/Stutzman collab.

Nope - what you see is what we have.  It's not like we're hiding anything...  :))

What fiasco was that?  I don't remember a fiasco, though I do remember the deck was pretty popular upon release.

Exactly that...

It was so popular, that it vanished from the page very quickly and just like these deck it was announced a couple of times and the  BOOM! the flood gates were opened and the decks vanished.  :karrit:

Don't mind me, im just being impatient...

I hope we get the deck this week.  :-[

Did you notice that it wasn't Blaine who performed the deck color-change trick?  The performer, Tony Chang, is wearing a watch, David isn't, and he also has different-colored pants.  I know Tony, though he never manages to remember me when I see him.  Then again, I'm usually seeing him after he's had a few drinks, so...  :))

Tony is one of the good guys in the industry.

Off topic: there's a few Video's or Instagram photo's that magicians have posted "this year" that shows more then I want to know about them. Not that I wasn't already suspicious. Where there's smoke, there's fire. I've been seeing the smoke all year long.

Perhaps you could share some of them, either in the Bonanza or the Parlor, whichever is the more appropriate?
