Received an email from zenneth kok today:-

"Dear Nurul,

We will be releasing quite a few new items starting next month at Coterie1902.com

Are you referring to blank face deck on rider back? If yes, then I'll send you one along with your order at Coterie1902.com

Keep an eye on coterie1902 Facebook or my Facebook announcement, new items are coming very soon.

Thanks again for your support!
Zenneth"

Keep an eye out for some new stuff from zenneth. He's yet to disappoint!

Anyone want to speculate as to what is coming?

Or whether he'll release more of his white New Fan Backs in combo deals like before?

For you newer guys, his decks are pretty scarce. He ordered 5,000 black Bicycle New Fan Backs made, including a vintage Ace of Spades that's gorgeous, identical jokers and two gaff cards - a double backer white/black and a Zero of Hearts - create a fan of all hearts, Three, Ace, Zero and Seven, invert it and it looks like the word "LOVE" (he's big on romantic gesture tricks). The whites are identical except the double backer is white/white - and ONLY 1,000 were made!

You can buy the pair from zennethkok.com for $129, but smart shoppers wait for new product releases from him. He'll often offer specials sometime after the release, combining the new product with these two decks for a bargain price. A few of them are still listed (but sold out) on zennethkok.com in the store there, and he's also made them available through coterie1902.com over the last year or so.

The deal he has on coterie1902.com at the moment is if you spend $100 on items, you get the black and white NFBs for $25 which is still a good deal considering you get more awesome content. May I suggest entwined hearts

it's a beautiful little effect and makes good use of the moving pips principle

Well, at the moment it would be difficult to make that minimum - there's very few products on the site at this time that aren't sold out. Soon, though - there will be SOMETHING...

There's the uncut sheet

I'm hoping he brings out some Christmas themed magic.

EDIT: this photo was taken from the coterie1902 Facebook page. Playing card collector suggested a collectors box in the comments page. I think he could be right

That looks an awful lot like the box they've been using from day one to ship larger deck orders in, but perhaps a bit nicer. I'm curious.

Here's another photo which was titled "a step further..."
I have no idea what to make of that :/

Whatever it is, it's at least in part made of fabric. Those letters and numerals are stitched.

At first I thought "wristband", then I saw, what I assume is a pull string.
Maybe a little bag/sack for your decks? Or gimmicks?
Like the ones that came with the heritage decks or the one that came int the Paul Harris True Astonishment box set.

For all we know, it's the label inside of a sportscoat - with hidden TopIts!

If this was fb I would like that last post. That would be something dan and dave would do.

I know - but we're not talking about leisurewear, we're taking about a magician's gaff in wearable form, and the Coterie is about the magic as well as the playing cards. Of course, I wasn't serious in my guess, but it's not impossible. More likely would be some sort of carrying bag or the lining of a display box or some such thing. It could be something for holding cards, it could be a gaff used for a magic trick. No way to tell just with that photo - not enough to go on.

Any idea when the new products will be up?
I agree with Don, it's hard to take advantage of the spend over $100 over with the limited selection of products on offer in the store.

It would appear that this will change soon, at the Coterie1902.com site.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll have more offers/promotions when he starts releasing his new stuff. On his FB page he's got a screen shot of his phone calendar, looks like ZK is going to be busy this month

Some more items from mr Kok

Colorless Concept · « **Reply #19 on:** November 09, 2013, 11:25:01 PM »

So Zenneth Kok is releasing a sponges effect.
I thought he will release the silver version of the bee deck.

It's still possible that he will, though I wouldn't hold my breath that the silver Bee deck will ever get made. I think he has something else in mind in regard to playing cards, but I'm forced to keep mum for now.

He's releasing quite a few effects. He's coming out with a Z fold wallet (see picture) and he's doing some collaboration work with Nash Fung.

In regards to playing cards, he posted a message he received. Not too sure what deck he's referring too though, but he did mention in a FB reply that it's a deck coterie1902 will be releasing early next year.

Still not too sure what the 3rd image is :/ it ties in with an earlier image I posted of the stitched coterie1902 label
