Hey, guys. I just read this on Dan and Dave's facebook wall: "Visit us this Friday as we announce the GRAND PRIZE winner for our Holiday Contest and officially kick off 2012 with 3 amazing new products."
I've posted it up here because I'm guessing that at least one of these releases will be a deck of cards. I'm not sure, though. I mean, they did just release Tungstene, Jerry's Nugget and Arrco decks. Admittedly, none of these were actually their own decks, so maybe that means that this release will be a release from Dan and Dave themselves?
Either way, I'm pretty sure at least one of them will be a deck of cards. What do you guys think the deck will be?

Maybe its the deck that they used in the Ferris Wheel tutorial!

I hope they aren't releasing another deck. This would be the 5rd in 3 months.

Couldn't they wait at least another month after the Tungstene -_-

the only thing I want from them us the vintage variety box. other than that they haven't had a decent card product since SMv6. they should stick to what they do well: magic & cardistry

Don Boyer · « **Reply #5 on:** January 04, 2012, 04:51:01 PM »

I'm afraid that another deck is the likeliest of one of the three. Maybe even more than one. But here's my guess.

They've been carrying T11 stock a lot more often lately. I predict they'll carry the Steam Punk, Charity: Water and whatever new deck they used in that video with the plaid pattern that's the same as on one of the raffle ticket designs.

I agree with all of what you said there! The Vintage Variety Box is the only thing that I really want. And that doesn't even have any of their own stuff in it, I don't think.

Yeah, I think it's likely that they'll release that plaid pattern deck. That's the deck that leapt to mind immediately when I read that post, that's for sure.

I further predict that the "plaid deck" - believed to be called the U.S. Regulation deck - will come in at least two color patterns.

That is a rumor. It could happen though. I'm sure one of these will be a deck but I'm not going to get it. Firstly I'll be out of town and secondly I honestly am done with a release every couple weeks. If I really want it later down the road I'll get it from a reseller.

I'd be guessing its a T11 deck and possibly the plaid deck and then a flourish or something

dmbaggs · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2012, 09:36:36 PM »

Dan and Dave just posted this. A new book I'd be guessing. That leaves two unknowns

I believe you may be right. If you look at the link i posted it bring you to an image with what looks like 2 back designs, one we already saw in the ferris video, now what about the other one

At first i thought you refered to the v6, but then i look at the book.
Very nice find! I have the magazine but i never noticed it.

Evan · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2012, 10:57:59 PM »

I really hope they aren't releasing that plaid deck for a little while. They've "released" enough decks for a while.

moonexe · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:19:21 PM »

I really love the plaid deck's back, though. If they do release it, I just hope it won't be too limited/go too fast, cause I'm a little tight on money right now. They would be awesome for gambling demos, being a very regular full-bleed design.

Atheosile · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:23:03 PM »

I also hope it isn't a deck just because I don't have the money right now, lol I haven't heard of Helder Guimaraes, gonna have to google him lol

Jin Jian · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2012, 03:14:23 AM »

ya i agree they have release too many decks... and now i have no money

The last word I heard on it was no, the Smoke and Mirrors line ended with V6.

That was an AWESOME find. It shows the deck box in two colors, cream and green, so yes, two colors (at least) for this deck, and it still has the same front look to it, so they appear to be called "U.S. Regulation Playing Cards".

First, since V6, D&D hasn't had a single deck sellout of their own design. This despite rumors that Fantastique was printed in more limited numbers than the quickly-sold-out S&M v6. I wouldn't worry about this one selling out quickly - though I'll probably order mine first day anyway!

Second, did it slip people's minds that the picture of the two decks was INSIDE a BOOK? It looks like we're looking at possibly TWO book releases and the new deck: "Reflections" by Guimaraes and a new book by D&D. I have a sneaking suspicion that the D&D book might be a "vanity book" about themselves and their company, since that two-page spread shows the two new decks (you can even see the second deck's back if you look hard enough; it's NOT plaid), a joker with a buck on it, and someone manipulating a pack of what looks like whichever of the S&M decks v1-3 was the black one.

dmbaggs · « **Reply #19 on:** January 05, 2012, 06:34:47 AM »

I would actually be interested in a "vanity" book. I have enjoyed reading the blog entries they have had and I think that if the book had a similar style I would really enjoy it.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2012, 07:00:15 AM »

I would be interested if it was more than simply a vanity book - if it actually contained some instruction in magic/cardistry in it. And also if it didn't break the bank; coffee table books like that tend to be expensive.

he's like probably the most modern magician with a strong traditional set of card magic

Aaron · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2012, 01:13:10 PM »

I think they are going to release The Book, T11`s Steampunks, and a new trick or download

moonexe · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2012, 03:03:37 PM »

I googled the guy, he seems like a pretty interesting person.

Anyway, even with the lack of money, I'd still be happy to see that plaid deck come out. We don't have any decks of that kind in modern releases, only vintage decks, so it'd definitely be a really nice piece to own. As for the other color there actually seems to have three designs on there that could be neither ad cards nor jokers. Not saying there's gonna be 3 backs, one of them could just be thrown in there for the picture, but we have no sure way of knowing which one.

Oh well, we'll see tomorrow.
