The man who brought us the Black/White New Fan Backs, Zenneth Kok, sent me this message

"We have been working on a new deck design for awhile, but it's not going to be Bicycle brand, it will be USPC decks though"

I'm looking forward to seeing the new design

What good would I be if everyone could get all this information?  lol

But seriously.. I'll tell you how I found out this info...

I hope you're sitting down...

I messaged Zenneth and asked him!  Shocker!

me:
"hello Zenneth
 
 Will you be designing and releasing any more Bicycle decks"

Him:
"We have been working on a new deck design for awhile, but it's not going to be Bicycle brand, it will be USPC decks though."

me:
"Do you have any pics to share?"

Him:
"Not at this stage...will take sometime to finish the design"


If you want the info, do the research!

Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

I guess this is the update for this deck posted by CBJ on UC.

"Well it looks like Zenneth Kok (White and Black New Fan Back Decks) is planning another deck release...

He posted this on FB

"Apparently, the back of Project C Playing Cards that I designed requires a unique printing process that has never been done with USPC. Well, they have done something similar but not the same with my design...Please, let me know it's possible...I have already went through much hardship to get the approval from USPC legal department on my designs..."

Hopefully everything gets worked out

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the nice words on New Fan Back cards and support to the new project that I am working on.

I must say this project is quite a challenge, USPC keep saying my design and some of the back up plans are too new for them to try.
I just uploaded latest email capture onto my facebook.

The card back is simple design and elegant, but it won't really come out as a real break through in terms of the graphic. It does need a unique printing process is required in order to achieve the desirable effect. The real break through, in my opinion, is the concept behind the tuck case, which already took us very long time in order to obtain permission from USPC's legal department.

I know the many of you would like to know what does the card back look like, and matter of fact, I am willing to share the graphic before the official release too, though, the best I can do is after signing the contract with USPC, hope you guys can understand.

I'll keep you guys updated.

Cheers!

Metallic gold and silver Diamond Back Bees with a border...  I like it.  I especially like the lighting effect in the center of the card.

Pretty cool, although it reminds me of LTD and the Standard faces are a letdown.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

He hasn't done much with custom faces.  Most he did with the GSNFB was an old-style Ace of Spades.  Magicians don't always like custom everything because it draws the audience's attention more to the cards than the trick at hand.

How does the Bee Diamond Back pattern with a border remind you of the LTD deck?  If anything, this reminds me more of the black Stingers, though they do lack the fade-to-border effect.
