Okay so I am in the process of packing and almost ready to move.  I know that if I sold these separately I will get more!  I can use the extra cash to pay for fuel and tolls for my moving truck so here it is.

My final price offer! I will not take any lower offers.  Including shipping to the USA Priority Flat Rate Medium Box.  $265.00

My pricing is firm and includes shipping.  I am very busy and do not have the time to check PM's please read below for phone contact information.

The show itself needs some work.  So does the magic in my opinion.  Not something Id be looking to watch again.  Im sure the exposure will be minimal and the magic is not all that impressive anyway.

How can you tell?  The show doesn't premiere until next month!  Am I missing something?

I think his comment is based on the made in my living room feel that the shop-around pilot has.

Yeah the made in my living room feel is terrible.  Shop-around pilot or shoestring budget at least find a friend with a nicer place. The reality is that reality TV is mostly all staged or cut to perfection in order to be entertaining.  I have friends who stared in reality TV show about single girls who can't find the right guy.  Meanwhile they were mostly engaged or had boyfriends in real life.  So with that yes the show should be cut to limit exposure of methods and more effort should be put into making the show entertaining.  Also some better items should be chosen to give more opportunity to make the tricks more entertaining.  The way the show was shot I feel that even if the magicians on there had real talent it was made to look very amateur and cheesy. 

My family members had large amounts of cards in storage for years so I've been using cards from this stash since I was a kid.  I can't tell you how many of these decks I just destroyed when I was younger! Never thought they would be anything special. I refuse to just look at the cards I got them for a reason so I'm gonna use them but I try to rotate open decks depending on mood and they last a long time. I would probably make collectors cry if I listed everything but here are a few...Half a brick or so of Tax Stamped Bees and 2 Tally Ho's, Golden Nuggets x4, Dozen or so of 1960's and 70's Bees and Tally Hos. Ive opened 1 of pretty much every deck I've owned.  1 to rock and 1 to stock has always been my motto.  Well maybe more then just one to stock if its something i think I will want to use more.

Jackson Robinson has an opened deck of my Golden Nuggets and Don has a good example of some of my everyday cards Tally Ho Circle Backs early 60's and 70's.  I started conserving them a few years back when the great playing card boom hit.

This deck has a lot of potential from a business prospective.  Cat fanatics you know crazy cat ladies that sit home and shop on QVC buy lots of random shit.  They are commonly hoarders also.  Id say an aggressive campaign with a youtube video of some wacked out cat stuff and you will up your numbers a bunch. 

Beehive comes before poop on both, so I think it's all good. Now back to the cards. Pretty sweet. Do we know who the artist is?

Not that it matters, but just because it comes first does not mean that it is more or less correct.  Its about context and how it is used.  Same goes for a lot of english words.  I originally thought it meant stomach.  After looking further into the etymology I thought Alveus would be more suitable for the lack of poop, and also learning that it meant gameboard which also fits the context of playing cards. 

But as for the cards they look sweet as stated before.  Who ever the artist is congrats!

Alvus - Latin for Beehive

I don't know if you did the full research on the word Alvus.  Maybe you would like to change it to Alveus.  Im sure there are not a lot of latin speakers here.  God only knows why I took it in High School for 3 years.    But anyways Alveus would not be able to be taken out of context for something like a poop. 

I like the looks of the deck pretty sweet from what I see just figured I would let you know.

216's handle amazing and look badass.  I find the Erdnaseum's to be an eyesore hands down probably the ugliest deck in my collection.   

Thank you for the kind words. Because they are so different than any other United States Playing Card Company product, I was nervous that everyone would be scared to try something new. However, like you, most everyone who to took a chance with these decks were pleasantly surprised.

The 605s are great cards, and only get better the more you use them. Glad to hear you're getting lots of mileage out of them.

I wish the box lasted as long as the deck, too!

BTW, do you know that you can wash your 605s if they get dirty?

Well the big thing is breaking them in properly.  I know you have detailed information and I used your methods mixed with a little of mine and they turned out pretty good.  Every once in a while I put them in the freezer or the fridge. I rarely keep them in a box.  I shower with them and let the moisture get to them.  Basically I do everything I would never do with any other deck of cards unless I intended to trash them. 

But to anyone who uses them I would recommended them checking out your site for the info.  I know that they can be washed but I've yet to feel it needs it.  They handle just how I want them to! 

You should make a commercial like this but place it at a children's magic show with an angry child off their medication goes berserk and smacks the cards out of your hand....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybRtvem6GAM

I can't tell you the age of mine only because they are sealed.  I am not too sure if they are still doing it.  I am curious as well this is something I was thinking about posting a while back.  Here are a couple pictures.
