Yes, I sent D&D an email saying that my brick came in and a couple decks were damaged. They told me to send them back to them and they will send me new ones...they wanted me to send back their damaged product ( by no doing of my own ) on my dime. I told them that wasn't right and to maybe send me a shipping label and they said they would just give me store credit for what I spend on shipping. I think most people have forgotten what customer service means....oh well

*edit* Make sure you modify rather than double post Ev....as seen here

I know it is! But there are others, like BC, who put the customer first. I hope you are watching, D&D....take notes
Title: Re: Dan And Dave
Post by: Evan on October 22, 2011, 05:51:56 PM
Lol yea BC is very good with that. They sold me a brick of Green Crowns a few days after they sold out.

So, D&D's new webpage layout is far better than it was...I am thinking about getting some of that hand lotion ( no homo )
Title: Re: Dan And Dave
Post by: Evan on October 22, 2011, 06:00:50 PM
Lol. Its $25 for hand lotion. Thats a waste of money in my opinion. Its not something you really NEED. You can buy a few decks for that much
Title: Re: Dan And Dave
Post by: sinsandman on October 22, 2011, 06:02:22 PM
a few for $25?...but the bottle says D&D on it....! I am a sucker for marketing.

hey im writing D&D on this napkin $100 do you want it? also I don't know how the lotion would help at all.
Title: Re: Dan And Dave
Post by: Evan on October 22, 2011, 10:09:22 PM
The lotion just will make you hands softer and smoother. I see how it would help but its not worth it in my opinion
Title: Re: Dan And Dave
Post by: sinsandman on October 22, 2011, 10:12:02 PM
No way!!! You have a napkin with D&D on it??? I'll give you $250

i find they way overcharge for shipping in my opinion and recently all their product prices have just skyrocketted... it's become too money orientated and less customer based

On the off note what are your favourite cardistry flourishes by D&D

Cocky to people who would ask them questions (Seems like they were basically thinking how dare you ask me these questions) and really rude to some quite big names in magic who were talking about how not every card trick needs difficult flourishes.

Looks pretty interesting, I have actually played around with something that uses that kind of method before ( can only assume from what is shown, but its not too hard to figure out ). From what I see, that first application shown in the video would pretty angle sensitive but I absolutely love the second application he did. I am looking forward to seeing what variation Dan and Dave have created, I would assume they will make their 100 like goal.

Uh, hello?  I reviewed the lotion.  It's actually excellent quality.  It moisturizes while not leaving the hands greasy, absorbs very quickly to make your hands nearly immediately ready to handle a deck, and it has anti-oxidants, no preservatives (it actually has an expiration date) and a gentle coffee fragrance.  Plus it doesn't smell like flowers, your grandma or your girlfriend.  A small amount goes a long way, so yes, it's a good lotion and a good purchase for those who want high quality.

But I will grant that they aren't cheap.  Anyone overseas gripes about their shipping costs.  A D&D reseller with reasonable shipping costs could do well...
Title: Re: Dan And Dave (Magic/Cardistry Related)

I actually ship overseas for reasonable prices. Anyway, I am still wanting the lotion and the Venus Trap looks sick as hell....and hell is pretty sick  8)

Yeah, I must say, D&Ds shipping is so overpriced.

Post by: Curt on December 07, 2011, 06:57:24 PM

Coming from an international shipping point of view, I would have to disagree. Their "standard" shipping method to Canada at least is cost around $14 for 4 decks. They ship using USPS Priority international which is the middle level shipping option from USPS, in-between First Class and Express. Usually when I order from the states shipping costs me anywhere from $8-$15 and most of the time I get First Class instead of Priority.

I can't say if D&D's shipping prices are high for domestic shipping but I am pleased with how much their international "standard" shipping method costs.
Title: Re: Dan And Dave (Magic/Cardistry Related)
Post by: Don Boyer on December 08, 2011, 05:53:36 AM
It's way cheaper to ship to either Canada or Mexico from the US via the Postal Service.  Further than that, it gets costly quick.  As a rough rule of thumb, if domestic shipping is $X, then Canada/Mexico shipping is from $1.5X to $2X and international beyond that is roughly $3X-$4X

the black crown

BC stands for the Blue Crown, a magic producing company with tricks such as Flush, Coin Waltz, and FourFit. They also  have a series of decks known as "The Crown Decks." There should be another thread up about this company. For now, reserve this thread for all things D&D.

Have you guys seen Dan and Dave new free tutorial of the overhand shuffle? I believe it's on their Facebook page. It's called Revvie I believe.

Yes their spin on the overhand shuffle is simple and a nice way to combine cardistry and magic.

Ya, I saw it. I like it too. Personally, I don't like their way of teaching though.

The DV boxed set is pretty cool, though a bit costly. I personally think the Kevin Ho trick looks very nice but it seems kinda obvious to me.

the dai vernon box set is not overprice at all .. if you are really into magic .. you should know what dai vernon has put out .. he is a really great magician and now all of his work all together into a dvd .. it is worth it .. i saw someone buying a limited edition set of this box set before it was released for 2000 ..

I didn't say it was overpriced. I said it was costly. 150$ isn't a small amount of money, but that doesn't mean that these DVD's aren't worth that price.

Well, I actually like their books more than their videos - not that they're bad.  I'm working through "The Unreal Work" vols. 1 & 2 in their streaming video section.  But they have one of the better libraries of books for sale than you're likely to find elsewhere.  Just because it's in print, doesn't mean it's worthless (or even hard, in some cases).

Oh, and stop double posting!  :))
