I really love the look of this deck! The back design and court cards really pop out to me and it looks like a fully custom deck!

You will be able to buy them here when the countdown ends: http://www.card-shark.de/index.cfm?page=79&lang=en&detail=true&Category=13&ArtID=187

I love the Mayan figureheads as Court Cards!
A nice looking and very detailed 4-Color back too!
The grunge effect on the Court Cards and PIPs gives it
a good look also. Very nice.

thanks, Randy

I always love to see 4 custom aces rather than just spades.  Looks good.

The 8 day countdown is for the deck.

The other is for the supposed date of the apocalypse. Before the apocalypse I recommend watching supernatural seasons 1-5 on netflix.

I wished the back design was mirrored though because I have a feeling left handed giant fans will be better than right handed  giant fans, otherwise as a whole the deck looks very nice.

Are you a Supernatural fan??  If you are, have you watched the anime versions?

Yes I am, I watched seasons 1-5 and started 6

I recently got the anime on bluray, I only got to watch one episode so far because of time restraints but its pretty cool so far. The first episode is pretty much the shapeshifter episode in season 1. Dean's voice actor isn't bad

Actually you can pre-order them right now and they will ship it on the day of the release.All the pre-orders have a chance to win a uncut sheet.

Hmm, limited release of only 2012 fully custom decks for $9.90 a deck...that sounds good and they look cool.

Also shipping for USA is flat rate $6.50 no matter how many you order.

I don't like all this 2012 BS. To me it is just a big marketing thing, 2012 is just the begining of a new session to the Mayan Long Count Calendar, not a prediction of the end of the world.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Yes.From their webpage:

"exactly 2012 Phoenix Apocalypse Decks will be released, a very limited run!
produced in highest possible Quality Q1 at US Playing Card Company, certainly with Air-Cushion Finish"

Oops bmpokerworld beat me to it.

so you can buy four decks and the shipping will just be $6.50 ?

Yes.Quote from their site:

"Shipping costs are only 4.90 Euro for EU orders and $6.50 US for the rest of the world, no matter how much you order!

Orders from the USA or Canada are - if possible - shipped out directly from our Card-Shark USA depot in New York to reach you fast, save and sound."

I already pre-order some and indeed the shipping was flat $6.50.

Maybe they have those discount codes only for previous customers,

We don't have one, but with those prices, it is really necessary?

You know where we store the coupon codes, anyway!  You're not exactly a newbie here!   :P If it isn't there, it's not like we have more hidden in the back of the stock room somewhere waiting for someone to put out on the showroom floor...  :))

I don't like all this 2012 BS. To me it is just a big marketing thing, 2012 is just the begining of a new session to the Mayan Long Count Calendar, not a prediction of the end of the world.

The Diamond Jim deck was a bunch of BS and marketing, while this one is a real magician's deck.    It has the McDonald's Aces gaffs, looks much more into the theme and has MARKED backs.  You don't have to be into it personally, but if you're a magician with an audience that is, this would be an awesome weapon for the arsenal.

I liken it to the guy who loves rock music but works as a deejay at a smooth jazz station because they're willing to pay him a better salary because every headbanger and his cousin wants to deejay at a rock station.  Maybe it isn't as much fun, but hey, you're still working as a deejay and making money...

I think they are looking great....the only thing is they are not celebrity, like D&D, Ellsionist, T11, or such...

Tell me you never heard of card-shark.de?  They're bigger than you think.  In Europe they're freakin' huge.  Check out the website - you don't know what you're missing.

I like them as well - want to get in on the pre-order.  So I guess I'm passing on that Vineback deck...

I just wish they still had the Jill Deck in stock - I'd order that to go with this!

If i ordered this cards and i'm from the U.S. how long would it take for me to get the cards ?

That would largely depend on with whom you place your order.  BMPokerWorld did state he'll be carrying them and he does offer a 10% discount and ship domestically.  As far as ordering from card-shark.de directly, I've never done so, so I couldn't answer that question for you.  I haven't heard anything bad about them regarding shipments or customer service, if that helps.

EDIT: I went ahead and ordered from card-shark.de, and while I was there I picked up two of the red Phoenix Parlour decks (blue is out of stock).
