WTF! I have no idea but I have 3 guesses!
1. Variety Box V3
2. Fantastique Deck
3. Smoke and Mirrors V7

EDIT:  Or since we are unable to access anything else on their site, maybe its a site upgrade

My bet is also that is has something to do with their website. Maybe an update to how it look or a new part to the site. Would be nice if they coincided the launch with a new deck release; If a deck is released I would assume it would be the Fantastique deck.

Here is a quote from their facebook page

"Spending the weekend putting the final touches on an exciting new project. Can't wait to share it with all of you. Soon!"

I like your ideas but 1 thing has to be added to that list, whatever the 7th item would have been with the release of S&M V6 and all that other stuff.

Yea that would be Trigger, thats what I said after

It better be a half decent trick if they would shut their site down for 5 days just to gain hype. But ya, trigger would make sense.

Well dan and dave seem to release a new flourishing dvd every 3 years so maybe it could be that.

It's not S&Mv7 for obvious reasons.

It will probably be Variety Box v3, Trigger, and Fantastique.

Design wise they used to be excellent, now not so much. Handling wise they're great, but then again I can name decks that handle as well or better. I expect them to really turn around and bring something super-innovative with their next S&M iteration.

Oh and this is coming from somebody who owns at least one of every deck they ever made.

Do a 180 now and look at their DVDs and books. This is where they excel.

Annoyingly, the whole site's shut down.  I'd finally got enough together to get 'If an Octopus Could Palm' but the friggin' store is closed all of a sudden.  Grr...

unless they upgrade the stock, the stock and finish will be the same as the v6s.  Vortex win in design hands down IMO
