theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards

theory11 bulletin : Four Final Images Before Release

The second picture looks a lot like a cut from an old video by Josh Sadowsky. The last picture is a triangle. I think I remember a Magic Broadcast where Dan and Dave were on there and mentioned doing a triangle flourish by Joey Burton. Maybe this has something to do with these 'underground' flourishers/magicians that we never see but hear are really good.

JB said it comes from more than one source, and that it goes back decades. These guys were the ones who (at least the way I hear) helped start doing these flourish moves. Makes sense that it could be something like this. It would be cool if it was.

Or maybe not. Just throwing out ideas... :)
 
It is going to be a Black stripped back Bee deck. And the preview for it will include the buck twins and Andrei Jihk. I saw on Teh Jihksters Myspace him holding the deck and he was wearing same shirt as in the final photo here.
 
I think it's a deck, cause in all the photos the backs are blacked out/ not shown.
But! it's a bee deck (ace of spades is bee) with blood red cards, and no yellow or blue, only blood red, like props, and cents.
awesome bee back design?
 
Well, they look a lot like Dave Buck's hands. He always has a watch on his left arm. Maybe a new deck, seeing how they don't show the backs of the cards. Why the hype? :(

When I saw that triangle I thought Joey Burton as well. Joey Burton released and effect ages ago in Trapdoor Magazine utilizing a triangle flourish to produce a card. So perhaps it is the mysterious Mr. Burton.....

Either that or its Andrei.

Well some bee decks (eg bumble bees, Wynns) have dark security ink, similar to T11 decks
 
Buck twins are part of it for sure.

***Also, look at the King of Clubs in the second pic. The color design resembles smoke & mirrors.

Actually no, the court cards in Smoke and Mirrors are more simplified and are very vibrant in color. The King in the second pic has a deeper red and gray like the court cards in Theory 11 decks.
