Whoever made that pic with David Blaine and the Devil is one hell of an artist.

awesome, but from what ive seen of the cards, they seem alot like centurions

All movies with Dan and Dave in it are cool :D But... I have to agree with J.R. and Jordan, although custom decks can be fun, it's getting a bit out of hand, and as Jordan says: custom decks are not very cheap. Too bad they aren't... :( ~Morphweasel

J.R.18 years ago

I'm sure Dan and Dave will go into derecting feature films. Like Orson Welles. Their clips are always top notch.

J.R.18 years ago

OK, I've got to say this - I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE HOT 'NEW' DECKS :( When did this all start? I mean, these are just regular cards, no? 52 cards + 2 jokers, that's all. As long as they are printed by the USPCC they are fine. David Blaine became the most recognized magician in the world, and one of the most inspiring ones, just with a deck of regular Bicycles! So I say 1/5 to his new deck.

hey the more cards the better, eventually the odds are theory11 will make a high quality one. if they keep at it.

Jordan Lapping18 years ago

I do have to quite agree with you J.R. - it does seem to be getting out of hand. I personally hope that the next deck to be brought out by Theory11 will have the usual colour shemes of red and blue, and be at a much more affordable standard price. Jordan

I've never really cared for Split Spades, they just never were and probably never will be my thing. Oh nos! Stone the non-theory11-fanboy!

RXillusionist18 years ago

OMG gonna buy ASAP!!!!! T11 is making cards at ULTRA SPEED!

Morphweasel18 years ago

These aren't created by T11! T11 oly sells these before the official launch at David Blaine's website.

Now that was sick. Sure the decks look the same, but they still look great. Plus point for the music aswell =D

Johnlawl18 years ago

Dave does that combo too!?

ninja18 years ago

i like the music. i hope they don't use the cambric finish because it is great at first but it wears out extremly fast

AceOfSpades266218 years ago

They look kind of old fashioned and drawn up, which don't get me wrong is incredible. The joker (if that's what that was) looks insane. Also I loved the first ones and will definitely b picking up some of these.

I cant tell the difference between these and normal SS.

Weren't the White Split Spades in a different stack fresh out of the Box? Not like stock order, but in a specific order... If so, will these new ones have that as well? -Bill

finally db2 are going to tease the new cards xD :P

tazer18 years ago

the only thing i have to say is that it would be cool if DB became an artist here oh, and that picture was AMAZING ha it was sick, looked like pencil or graphite or something o.0

trashmanf18 years ago

OH MY GOD!!!!!! THESE LOOK.... exactly the same as the other split spades which have already been out a couple years.

palmer18 years ago

I hope they went BACK to the Tally Ho stock. Those were truly excellent decks, the Bees I could live without.

trashmanf18 years ago

I agree the new box design is pimpin. Different stock you say? The originals were printed on various stocks, Tally-ho at first for the red and blue, and bee stock later for the black and white. Are they printed on yet another third stock? And do they handle better than the Bee (white/black) because those actually weren't nearly as good as the Tally-ho (red/blue). Finally, is this really dananddave ? or someone else with that username? wait... I guess if you say they handle better that means you must really be DBSquared. tiiiiiiiight!

dananddave18 years ago

Overall, they look the same. However, there are some subtle differences in the back design and the new Joker and Ace of Spades are AWESOME! Oh, and the box is kick ass. They're printed on a different stock than the last ones and they seem to handle better.

Sarcasm - not for everyone.

Swear to god, this has become the most overused and misused sayings ever. Say it when it actually means something!
