New at custom decks...

[Sk8r_St3v3]

Yeah i guess it will, but ive already had some pretty close calls getting away from bids on Jerry's that im not sure about, and its so hard to be certain with ebay. Its pretty stupid really i wouldnt ever use the deck lol... But they will be worth a tonne in years to come so a good investment.

Well i think ill pass for the moment haha. I started magic and flourishing 3 months ago, and i already have 12 custom decks, 2 of which are wynns [red and brown], and 4 of which are smoke and mirrors v4. I can not resist the urge to have at least one of each rare deck in my possession! I am actually waiting until Lee Asher re-releases the Jerry's from his store, because i have to get at least one of those decks, just to stare at!

I can't wait 'til he does because I'm going to grab a few. I'm going to attend the Las Vegas Casino Collector's convention this month as well. I'm hoping to find some awesome rare casino decks or just any rare decks in general.

 

[Sk8r_St3v3]

I just can't keep away from cards since i started magic its insane. If i have spare hands they have a deck in them, and if i see a deck i liek i buy at least 2 of them haha!

Its becoming and obsession i wonder if i will ever stop, probably not though, the same can be said for my DVD/Blu/ray collection which is not far short of 500!

lol don't you find it weird that many magicians that like card tricks collect playing cards like crazy ... some years back, if someone told me that they had 50+ decks at home, i would think they have no life. I ,just like most of you, am crazy about cards, i'm always holding one in my hand, its becoming a bad habit and i don't wanna stop ...

 

[Sk8r_St3v3]

A deck of cards is an extension of my body! Although i do find i get too scared to use my good decks regularly, as i hate dropping cards, but obviously thats all part of the game.

I find myself stocking up custom decks every now and then, even when I'm low on cash haha! I don't even think I use regular bikes or tallys anymore! Now even my practice decks come in the form of Split Spades.

lol nice! I like to practice with Split Spades every once in awhile but not too much because they are kinda pricey.

The only reason why I'm doing this is because the Tallys here are actually much more expensive than I would expect them to be. For the amount of cash I need to buy 4 decks of Tallys I can actually get 3 decks of Split Spades. I'm having trouble finding cards that come in bricks here in Singapore. (Would love it if anyone could point me in a right direction!) I find that the Split Spades are actually more durable than the regular Tallys, so I'm sticking to them!

Its hard (surprisingly) to have access to a wide variety of custom decks in England, so i just purchase from Theory11 or ExoMagic and have them shipped in, which is obviously more costly, but worth it if you get them in bulk.

Just curious, how much time does it take to get there ... ?

 

[Sk8r_St3v3]

Usually about a week from Theory11, and sometimes less from Exomagic, both have good postage rates though and to be honest the decks cost me less if i buy them from America but it equals out once postage is on top, so it doesn't cost anymore to buy them from America than England.

 

[Phenomena]

split spades have lasted me the longest in quality than any other card sofar.
although i dont use my dnd or other expensive cards as often.

I recently picked up some of those White Knuckle Playing Cards. They are probably the nicest cards I've ever handled. I highly recommend. They rank right up there with bee stingers, smoke and mirrors, and the like.


They are a custom deck that is very artistic and original, while maintaining the theme of being playing cards. The court cards are the most beautiful rendition I've ever seen.

They are amazing cards. They fan perfectly, they spring perfectly, they look beautiful. I can't say enough about these cards. I am really impressed. I got mine from Ace King. I hope these cards do not sell out any time soon.

I really really hate the eyeball on the back.

Isn't $13 per deck a bit TOO expensive ... :O

 

[JetEyeNight]

The eye doesn't really bother me. That's just like saying that you hate the Ds on the backs of the smoke and mirror cards. Maybe you do. But for me it doesn't detract from the look of the cards.

I don't think $13/deck is that expensive for this deck. You can get them much cheaper through AceKing. Right now you could get a brick for about $70 shipped. If anyone is even thinking about getting this deck.... do it. You'll be glad you did.

I have to pick some of these up. If I remember correctly everything was hand drawn which makes it unique compared to others. Traditional cut, bike stock. Very interesting

 

[JetEyeNight]

Yes, everything was drawn freehand! They are amazingly artistic cards.

In Stock: I would recommend Tally Ho Circle Backs (my old school favorite), and Bee Stingers (nice bee stock, simple design).

Out of Stock: Split Spades (high quality pro deck) and Smoke and Mirrors V4's (nice design, metallic ink is cool!). Try these out when they are available again...

Ditto. Get the Blue circle-backs. They're simple, yet elegant, and their finish is highly durable. I can drop those cards all over the street using them 3-4 hours a day and make them last like, two weeks. Plus, t11's costs make buying a brick every now and then pretty cheap, (atleast for me).
