I'm curious if any of the 4 releases will be stand alone deck release or if they'll do a magic dvd/set with a special deck like D&D just did. It'd be nice to see a stand alone new deck release by them.

I don't recall T11 ever doing that type of bundle like D&D did a la "If An Octopus Could Palm." why would they start now?

They actually sent me a "happy birthday" email earlier today that mentioned their anniversary.  I don't recall it mentioning this, though.

NSA/T11 Illuminati conspiracy theories!?  ;D

I hope this is a full custom (courts and EVERYTHING) deck.... I don't want to see the same courts again and again...

More so than most, T11 sticks to recolored, standard faces.  They make decks that magicians can easily present to any audience - full-custom doesn't always fit the bill.  I'd be very surprised if it wasn't 90% or more standard.

These are looking amazing! Theory11 needs to be a little quicker with the teasers though.

Between the Gatorbacks and now possibly Steve Cohen Chamber Magic, I have little to no room in my playing card budget for anything else this month.

These have looked interesting from the get go, would love to see the cards themselves, but i also have to agree with CardPlayer, the playing card budget is taking a pounding this month. A few things may be left behind.

I placed my order this morning.

These are classic theory11 much like Monarchs are. Detailed back design with a simple Red/Blue on White color scheme. What has become a theory11 trademark on many of their decks produced, foiled metallic tuck. A Vintage Apollo looking AOS and classy tan face standard court cards. The name is great. I did not know Steve was known as the "The Millionaires Magician". Tycoon fits this brand well. I can see Steve using these in his show. He should be very happy with how they turned out. Very well done from beginning to end. Even the teasers were not lagging and drawn out. They got right to the point in expose after a few days of images. You can tell there was thought put into this entire project.

Yes, a few days ago. They look better in person.

I feel like some people are missing the boat on these because they are standard looking. I'm liking the Fournier court cards and the back design has that 1920's USPCC vintage feel to them.
