Card Lovers -
For those located in the New York City area, I'd like to mention the Herb's Magic "Black Saturday" sale which will be held in-person only on Saturday, November 29, from noon to 5 p.m., at Cafe Rustico, the magicians' hang out joint at 25 W. 35th (b/t 5th & 6th Aves.) I think you will find some items of interest.
In respect to cards I will be offering a number of basic brands: Aviator, Phoenix, Tally Ho and Bee at special prices, ranging from 2.75 to 3.25. I'm expecting these will be of interest to magicians, however I do have some items that will most likely be of interest to card lovers and collectors. (Please note that NYS sales tax is additional for all items)
I have a small quantity of factory sealed Bee decks from Harrah's and Sierra Sid's casinos which I will be selling for $5 each. These are from approximately the early 1980s. The Sierra Sids decks are cool because it is such an obscure casino--there's a little drawing of a mountain in the retro-looking logo, while the Harrah's decks have custom jokers that use gambling imagery in a sort of abstract collage. I also have a very small quantity of factory-sealed blue Steamboat decks from around the same time frame (late 70s or early 80s) which I will be selling for $8 each. These have been selling in some cases for $15 and upward on eBay. Some sealed vintage Fournier 505s will also be available at $8.
I will also be offering some more recently-issued special and custom decks at around $4. Unfortunately I can't list the specifics here, but these are decks issued by notable participants in the special card market.
Aside from that, I carry nearly 100 different decks of cards and will have everything available, including some of the rarest of special issue decks. I also have a line of magic related books, tricks, and supplies which also will be available.
In addition we are having a visit from magician Xiang Liu, who will be demonstrating and selling his otherwise sold out Si-Fi Project, a DVD and gimmick that allows you to perform a remarkably organic looking floating ring routine. I hope some of you might be able to stop by if only to say hello and hang out with the magic folks. All the details about the sale are here: http://www.herbsmagic.com/black-saturday.html
I just went over to www.legendsplayingcards.com and found the following text:
"Get ready for our Black Friday super sale on NOV 27th, 23:00 GMT"
The deck isn't added to your cart but the first 144 orders will get a deck added to their shipment.
Good point that this isn't clear though and I'll fix it.

I tried to buy a Zen brick. Got this message as I was filling out payment info:
"No shipping rates were returned for your order. The shipping provider's server may be unavailable at this time. Please try again in a few minutes. If the problem persists, please contact the store administrator."
Refreshed a few times, it's been a few minutes. Still the same.
Can't complete my order :/

Same here. I wish we wouldnt miss out on the Zen prototype.
Well poo, just woke from my food coma and realized it has been a couple hours since the sale started! What are the chances of a Prototype deck still being available?
Just placed an order with LPCC. Noticed that they had the Serpentine pair listed at $6.75 on the main Black Friday page, but the actual product page and cart listed them at $8.75. Regardless, some really great prices on several decks I've been wanting to get. Thanks EPCC & LPCC!
Question about the EPCC deal. Was the bonus Red Zen Prototype deck for any of the 1st 144 orders, or only the 1st 144 orders of the Zen Brick Special? It's not clear from the post.

I'm guessing it is first 144 customers with the brick. Kinda suck as they release this in the late hours of my night and started at 7am in my morning. And i don't know if i can still get it because it ain't listed in my shopping cart.
Everyone!!
YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB REPORTING THE DEALS AND OFFERS!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
Here's the latest on the Blue Crown: four spending tier giveaways and four prize levels, plus a grand prize of Alex Pandrea flying to you ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD for a jam session and magic lessons! Did I mention that some Jerry's Nugget decks are also in the mix? Sky Island decks are available in red and blue - and black/gold, but that last one's only available by hitting a giveaway tier.

What made it rock was the fact that you didn't have to make a purchase to get a crack at it - you got one free spin per day. As long as that's still the case, then yes, WOOT indeed!
