Imagine a deck with a style that's like a fusion of Virtuoso and Jerry's Nuggets that was made in the same factory as the Legends decks.  OK, we can't confirm the last part, but they handle and feel like them, that's for certain!

This deck is to promote a Hong Kong street fashion brand of the same name.  Zenneth Kok discovered it, but not until all but just over 900 of the decks have been sold!  He's working on a deal with the company behind them to get as much of the remaining stock as he can over at the Coterie of Prestidigitation Artists - when they arrive, quantities will be EXTREMELY LIMITED.

Keep your eyes open for them.  You'll get new info as soon as I get new info!

What's in it for Coterie of Prestidigitation Artists? What's to stop us from buying right from the source? Why tell us about it before he's secured the decks?

Virtuoso and Jerry's Nuggets

Nailed that one.

Man, this looks cool. I can't find any of the clothing online, but I'd expect them to be pretty modern. I'm excited for this, but given my wallet contents I'd say it's pie in the sky for me.

It's going to be interesting to see the court cards.

Well, if your Mandarin is up to snuff, you can find their website AND they'll ship to your country, go for it.  If not...

It's a similar situation to the recent Truth Garden decks and aloysstudio.com - the fatboy deck being released to a domestic (for them) audience first, then globally through coterie1902.com.

I tried to find it as well, unsuccessfully - it's possible that the FB page is their online presence and that the clothing is only available through brick-and-mortar stores.

Don, thanks a lot for the head up.

The fatboy deck is a very nice discovery and surprise for us, here are a few things that I can share with you guys.

fatboyeatallday is a Hong Kong street fashion brand/online store, they use a lot of triangle elements within their designs.

This deck is not designed by or for magicians, hence there are only 54 cards in the deck and one red, one black joker.

My first impression of the back design is that it looks like the Virts deck and Jerry's Nugget a lot, however, according to the designer, the color combination was inspired by his favourite softdrink: Pepsi  :)

I tried the deck myself and here is what I think about the hand feel and paper stock of this deck:

The paper stock is quite hard and very snappy, you can expect this deck to be a very durable deck.
The cards are "locked", so they are pretty good for both card flourishes and card magic moves,
They only customized Jokers and Ace of Spades, other cards are pretty standard looking.
You need to use a specific way to do faro shuffle with this deck: hold the deck face down and start from bottom of the packet

We have reached an agreement of making all the remaining fatboy decks exclusively available at Coterie, however, there are only a little less than 1000 decks still in stock anyway. We are indeed giving a bit of priority to local collectors, however, we will make at least 600 decks available on Coterie.

While we can't do much about international shipping, the deck themselves will not be marketed as a rare deck,
so that's probably a good news to many. 

Cheers,
Zenneth
 
P.S. Garden Truth wasn't marketed through Coterie...

I am travelling between mainland China and Hong Kong very often these days for my personal business,
so it's very difficult for me to follow up the development of Coterie products as well as customize deck releases,  but my passion for cards has never been diminished,
will visit discourse and UC now and then. 

Hopefully we can submit a finalized Coterie custom deck designs to USPCC after I return to Hong Kong next month.

Pretty good deal - 10 decks, set of new fan backs and free shipping for $115.

Order placed! I'm glad that I checked The Discourse this morning. I had these ion my calendar for an afternoon release. I may have missed the boat if I had waited until then!

Gunshy, click on the link for help and it will tell you how to change the cookies setting to work. I'm an IT Admin, and I've never had to do this for any other site, so I'm not sure what kind of setup Coterie has, but the errors went away when I did as they instructed. Once the checkout was complete, I changed the settings back to what they were before.

Yeah, I think the second half of the timezone calculation posted above was flipped.  12pm EDT = 4pm UTC.  Not 12pm UTC = 4pm EDT. 

EDT is -4 hours UTC.  So 4 hours back from 12pm UTC is 8am EDT.  :)

It wasn't that I didn't have cookies on it was that I had to wait for the site to direct me to PayPal on its own. I guess clicking the button cause an error. It all worked out I ended up getting four.

First, guys, my apologies for screwing up the time calculations.  It should have been 8am Eastern and 5am Pacific.  It was late and I was tired.

Second, these look GREAT.  I have to hold off a little until I have some cash, so if they're still in stock Thursday morning, perhaps I'll get some then.

I guess most people should be aware of the correct release time, not too much a big problem here, we have a bit more than 1 gross of stock left in stock at the moment.
Considering this is a non-USPCC release, I would say they are going fast enough.

For the last couple of days, I have been practicing with the fatboy deck alone.

While the deck is not any thicker than a standard USPCC deck, for some reasons they are a lot more stiff.
Unlike Legends, fatboy doesn't have a glossy finish on the surface of cards, so there seems to be more friction.
Cards become a bit more softer after break in, so...for me it's getting better...

Just now I switch back to a custom deck by USPCC and then it feels totally different from the way that I used to feel about it...

I don't know how to describe such feeling, but I believe fatboy may well become many people's favorite practice deck.
