It would have been better if they'd at least announced it more broadly than in David's Twitter account.  Looks like I'll pay double the price or more on Sunday night.

They did announce it 5 mins before the smoke and mirrors on twitter and facebook. Seeing the price tag, I bought 1 Brick immediately.

By "announcing it broadly", I think he meant announcing the release a day or two before the official date, instead of the day of.

Precisely.  I was online at the time and had no idea it was going on.  Looks like it's past due time that I get a Twitter account.

Maybe it was meant to be a mini-release. If everyone were to know about it, i think it would be sold out before Sunday. But I did announce it here when I knew about it ;)

Sorry, I thought you know about this release when I pm'ed you.
And actually I got this news from CBJ's and Evan's facebook page.
Didn't check twitter too.

Well, yes, it was meant as a mini-release!  Otherwise the sale would have been on much longer.  It's also a great tactic to get more people to follow his Twitter feed and other social media accounts.  I would have loved it if I got to take advantage of the offer...

Hey, it's no biggie.  I wasn't planning on buying too many in the first place.  And I have more cash now, since I never buy D&D decks anymore and E's only truly new deck from Black Friday is available by membership only.  I can picture people so eager to get the Black Club Artifice that they actually buy TWO memberships for two decks!  :))

But back on topic - I'll be in front of a computer on Sunday night anyway, so...

I was lucky enough to snack a brick for $33 bucks as well plus shipping $21.95 (total of $54.95 or €44)
If i  had the usually shipping at $53 a brick , i would had ordered 4 bricks
the price was just tooo good!
Currently waiting for those decks being released :
- Seasons [Primavera / Seronda]  / Aether [Vortex] / Bicycle [Actuators] / Mana [Oracle] / The Blue Crown - [Altruism] / Encarded [Tendril]

Well if you're interested these are now back in his shop, but with a more than 50% increase in price, now only $13.90 for 2 and like $77 for a brick plus shipping! Glad I got mine at $5.90 each, should have a bought a brick though.

The silver SSs are still up, but the checkout system is down for maintenance!  I have them in my cart but can't pay for them.

EDIT: it took a few minutes but it came back online!  Bought a half-brick.  Even that for me is too much, but the SS Lions are one of my favorites.

I got a receipt with mine.   Did you?   And what does your receipt say?   And what about the email you got from David Blaine showing what you bought after you made your purchase.

Email and receipt say 2 bricks. I guess the only proof i have is that it was shipped in a small flat rate box as opposed to the medium box it would have been shipped in.

I received mine today, and they're really nice! The silver metallic ink on them is very shining, and the handling is decent. It handles like a regular bike deck.

got mine today as well. they handle almost identically to white lions series b, which is more or less the same as standard bicycle handling. The design + metallic ink looks dope as hell. I got 4 decks in total but I kinda wish I got some more at 3 bucks each . Overall a very sweet deck.

do you have white lions series b? that's how they handle. I dont have the first SS decks so I dont know if thats better or worse
