Welcome Leif! 

Ok. Maybe I should have said "rare decks that should have a place in any collection". Not saying I'm going to buy them just because you say so. Just trying to get a list that I can start looking for and decide on buying when I see them. I've only just started on these boards, so I feel a little bit behind with popular brands and makers.

I am still lost to the initial question, the above statement says you're looking for "rare" decks and then you mention "popular brands." I don't consider the decks in your list all that rare. The majority stem from Theory11, Dan and Dave, Ellusionsit and David Blaine. Of those, you probably can't get any more trendy that that.

I like Karnival Cards. the decks from CARC are a bit more "under the radar" and not as "trendy" - I know Blue Crown has been mentioned here before, the decks Russell Kercheval has released on Kickstarter, I think are pretty cool and a little more "unknown." Plus there are TONS of Bicycle Decks that get released (you can find them on Amazon) that the general public never really ever sees.

There are no absolutely Must have decks. There only decks that you like. If you only want to have decks in your collection that other people think are worth owning then maybe you should look at why you are collecting?

I agree with Dee1orean. I guess it really depends what YOU want, that's what collecting is about. There is no such thing as "best" or "worst." Good luck!

So, what kind of seal, bro?  The world wants to know!

ha ha



Well, I was born in 1968, so I am pretty sure that I didn't buy a deck of cards when I was 10. (jk) I'm going to have to say it was from 1999 then, cause this was one of my first decks and back then.... I wasn't careful with the seal. Because it's gone.

Sorry

Mojo (named from X-Men) and Turbo (I talk too fast) together means "Fast Magic"

My steamboats are opened as are ALL my decks. I play with my cards.



But sorry, I can't find a date on the box anywhere. But I've had em forever. Where would I find out what year they were from? Thanks in advance

I buy things purely on hype and then never follow through with it - I have Dan and Dave's system, some of their print stuff, and I have their "tricks and everything else" set and even Madison's "Dangerous."

My question (and I am sorry if this has been asked a ka-jillion times) but... where do you start?

How would you put the cardistry DVD's or instruction in order? I have never done it, but would like to. So where does one start? And after ones starts... then where does one....go?

Thank you to everyone and feel free to move my thread if it's in the wrong place. I promise to start paying you all back with deck reviews.

ha ha

I am sorry but I cant find pictures or a deck review of this (besides the ones that are on CARC) what am I missing?

is "E" code for Ellusionist? Are they the company that shall be "not named?"

 

...got mine yesterday (along with a bunch of others) You have to take it for what it is - an art and collector's deck. Unless you got real good at identifying each picture it's practically worthless for anything else. This would be a good deck to buy as a sheet and get framed.

It's too bad, I actually like the name and the box  - better than the actual deck. I wish there were different cards in this cool box

I love the cards, but was disappointed they didn't come with gaffs like the earlier sets did.

Hi my name is Magic Orthodoxy - how's it going
