The AoS reminds me a lot of the NOC decks. It's simple, but seems a bit unoriginal.

I asked Lawrence when CARC would have them and he said hopefully by next month. It will be a real release, and not a pre-order.

I haven't been able to find any mention of this deck on the CARC site, not even a photo. Your link just points to the store's main page.
So where'd you find the tip?

« on: January 06, 2013, 01:37:42 AM »Don, do you prefer the Legends to the White Lions? Personally the White Lions are my favourite deck just because they're so durable and handle well after about 3 hours of messing around with them.I know this question wasn't directed at me, but I'm going to give you my opinion anyway
I like the Legends deck much more than White Lions. These have a unique feel, and they handle better and better with more use.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: LTD uncut sheets! Only 115 available!
« on: January 01, 2013, 08:35:50 PM »I thought that they were only releasing one and only one sheet:It says, "This year, we'll release one - and only one." It is now 2013, so it is not that year.
Taken from their Christmas 2012 Prizes page: http://www.ellusionist.com/christmas-2012-prizes
"The LTD is one of our most popular, highly reviewed rare decks. We've held back giving away uncut sheets of the deck since its release last year. This year, we'll release one - and only one. Signed by Brad Christian it's like the floodgates of rarities have opened. This will be a magic collectible that NO ONE but the winner will have. Until we give away another one. Next decade, at this rate."
I was hoping to win this from the contest, but instead just picked one up.

I received these about a month before the release and I must say, I am impressed! It has a thin stock, slick finish, cool design, and thin borders! The cellophane pull strip thingy actually works which is awesome. The box has very light embossing and is kind of hard to feel. The box is also a bit flimsy but not terrible.
First impressions:
The finish is very slippery right out of the box and the stock is soft. The stock's stiffness is similar to Bicycle stock, but the stock is very thin, unlike Bike. Fans clump a bit, but I'm hoping that as I break in the deck, they won't clump as much. It spreads well, and it's great for pressure fans. The stock is springy which is good for springs.
I'll have a video review up when I break the deck in.
The file sizes of my pictures are too big to go on the forum, but you can see the pics here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.540511952630413.141448.295728693775408&type=1

« on: December 29, 2012, 07:33:48 PM »Where did they say that? All I see is that they don't want us to reveal the link early.They are going to start selling them at 8 PM EST. However people on the VIP list will be able to purchase them an hour earlier. If anyone is planning on picking them up in bulk and would be willing to sell me 3 decks or so I would be very grateful! Or if anyone is simple feeling extra generous and wants to add on some to their order that would be awesome. I have work and I won't be back home until 5 hours or so after the release. I have a feeling this will sell out rather quickly and I have been looking forward to these cards for sometime now, so if anyone could help me out I would be forever grateful! I am also willing to make some trades if that will entice some people, just send me a PM so I can give you a list of decks I have to trade!
Why do people never listen. They said not to reveal any details.

« on: December 14, 2012, 09:48:57 PM »The White Tune deck was printed in Singapore.Oops. I meant the White Blue Tune deck. Derp.The Oriental deck was printed by USPC lolSo the box says printed in Taiwan. Who can tell me what premium company with beautiful smooth edges, perfect registration and laminated boxes made these over there? I'd love to know.I don't think they're printing them. From what I see, they don't really do custom decks for cardistry and magic.
Googling found the Kuo Kau Paper Products company...
http://www.playingcards.com.tw/series2.html
What I really want to know is the playing card company that printed the Oriental Deck.
Was the White Tune deck made in Taiwan? I thought it was from somewhere else in Asia.
