I do not have them.... How do I know how they will last long? Let me give you guys a quote.
That is how I know.
No, I am not getting one for free for being a moderator.

Hmm, I can't wait to see what this decks looks like.
Same here, you never know. The king of spades may sport the Buck's faces just like the Split's with David Blaine.

Ah! I had totally forgetton about this qoute, although it didn't affect my already standing opion.

What does 2 days straight mean? I'd hope they'd last 2 days
It means they've used them for one day and then the next day used them again and they're still flawless
...Jokes.As Doug posted (Sinful), that is a direct quote...So, these decks are being tested and are still in great condition. Hope that clears everything up.

I knew that's what it meant. I meant how many hours a day. I doubt they'd miss two nights sleep for some pieces of paper...
2 days? Pssh my deck of tallies lasted my for a week and it still is flawless. We want to know if it can last 2 weeks. Besides DnD said vodkas are the longest lasting deck they ever had. For me it lasted 3 days and then it became sticky. I guess it depends how they feel when a deck is "dead". For me a deck is dead when it can't fan.
By 2 days and still flawless; the Buck's have only had their decks for 2 days now and have had them in their hands constantly, I'm willing to bet these cards will last longer than your precious tallies.
-SM
doubt it, I can vouch for what copperfeild 14 said, I have(had) two decks of vodkas I found in a box at my grandmothers(unopened) DnD said they where some of the longest lasting decks ever. They where dead in a week, Bicycles last longer with even more intense use. If the bucks believe vodkas last a long time, I would be scared to think how long this deck would actually last.
Smoke & Mirrors are printed on an Aristocrat stock, which in our professional opinion is one of the highest grade stocks available.
About the Absolut Decks: This deck has been and still is one of our favorite decks to practice with. They last very long if you give them time to breath every now and then. In my experience, any deck used for several hours straight, without boxing it for a few hours, will become tool soiled to work with. As a side note, I often switch decks throughout the day to lessen the amount of moisture the cards absorb from my hands, thus increasing the lifespan of my cards.

ok, its good to hear, but we do have a reason to be skeptical about these cards, there is a lot of hype surrounding these cards and almost nobody knows what they look like, or anything about them, other then a qoute "The bucks have used them for two days straight and they are still flawless". I use a deck of bikes for 2 days straight and they are still flawless. Just saying, everyone has a right to be skeptical, we will see if they are the real deal and lived up to the hype August3-4 (Cause thats when most people will recieve their order)
Well, I'm pretty sure DnD know what their talking about since their whole life is based around cards.

Please... do not question Dan and Dave... They are incredibly experienced and are some of the best flourishers in the world. I think they know what they are talking about. As Dave said, leave your cards some time to rest. If you have a deck in your hands for 6 hours straight of course you will get clumping issues. The oil from your hands will shorten the life of your cards.
I trust what these guys say. You should all trust them too. The fact that people are questioning whether or not they are lying really just depresses me. I also don't think they want to ruin their reputation and be looked at as liars.

I'm going to say the pricing will be close to if not the same as the price from the leaked site. The price on Surfaced was the same on the leaked site and their new site.
On a side note, I've had my deck of Vodkas for a few months, and if you let them breathe for a few hours they feel great again. If you are using one deck for hours on end of course you will get some issues. They're only pieces of paper...

Well let's not forget that prices can change before the actual release. That could had been a place holder and in today's economy it would not surprise me if they are more expensive. I'm prepared for the worst price which I would guess is the same price as Split Spades. I honestly would not mind. If Dan and Dave could use the same deck for 2 days without having ANY SMALL issues with it (as in it still feels flawless).... It will last an insanely long time I'm sure then for someone like me.
Smoke and Mirrors will be a work of art. It is actually by an artist and judging by what we have seen so far, these will look INCREDIBLY nice. I look forward to seeing them as these will be works of art and I would pay more than the price actually is going to be for them most likely.
Quality > Quantity. Quality comes with a price though. I would pay that higher price any day for something that much better.
