DECK PREDICTION COMPETITION

Postby dat8962 » Oct 26th, '08, 12:33



After reading the thread about the Karnival deck being released it got me thinking about what decks are in the pipeline for release in 2009?

This year has seen the Black Ghost deck V2 from E as well as their Shadow Masters and we've also had the updated Split Spades as well as Centurions and Guardians from Theory 11.

So, what is your prediction for next years fashionable deck from 'E' or theory 11 etc.

Give the colour, description of the back design and then give the deck a name as well as any other detail that you want to add. The more humour the better but we're not looking for an essay!

To the winner, a brand new copy of Amazing Card Tricks by Jon Tremaine (book) and two unopened decks of regular Poker Bikes (one red and one blue). Closing date in 00:01 on 1st November (GMT).

I'll ask Mandrake if he'll judge this one - have FUN

The new E-eyeliner deck.

The mystery. The magic. The mystery...again.

Bring the Kool into Skool!

Witness the new revolution in card conception. The Eyeliner deck! Made by hand, via computer and presses. The paradigm shift in pasteboards.

Only the finest selection of Brad Christian's own paste, skin cells and spewtum went into each and every card. See the shock on people's faces as each picture card brings back vivid, disturbing memories of puberty and make up mishaps.

With a new krazy kool Ace of Spades design! That's right - stare down the single eye of Christian. Stare long enough, and it will look into your very soul!

Comes complete with all 52 cards! Yes that's right! All 52 cards WILL be included. Each spot card is individually machine packed by elegant robo-hands, and each suit is hand drawn by an obese american child! check this out:

hearts - red lipstick
diamonds - blusher
spades - eye liner
clubs - stolen oil

In addition to all of this, the backs are JUST LIKE every other pack of red bike cards, just one subtle shift in colour - that YOU won't even notice, but YOU will be kool if you pay the extra $30s!

Each deck comes with two jokers, Brad Christian, and his twin brother, Christian Christian - his evil twin, who lives inside the belly of Brad.

Coming soon from Blamco Industries:

Teared: The Ultimate Restoration Deck!

This deck looks just like any other normal and not-suspicious-in-any-way-honest-guv Bicycle deck, with a few slight changes.

You're probably thinking that you can tear a perfect piece off a card very easily, but there are many people that just can't get it right. The multiple layers that make up the average playing card are designed to avoid tearing as far as possible, making it tricky for the untrained to do so.
The T:TURD deck has perforations along the middle of the card making each as simple to tear as possible. There's even a "Tear Here" mark on each line, giving you as much help as possible in completing the tear perfectly. These marks are barely visible to blind spectators, with little to no chance of discovery from the visually impaired. And if vertical tears just aren't enough for you, there are perforations going across the width of the card too.
TWO perforations for the price of ONE!

And if you think tearing the deck into perfect pieces is good, then the restoration will blow you away!
Each card has a small layer of covered tape across the back, transparent so no-one will notice. Remove the protective strip and now the card will stick together with only a slight overlap! You can even create your own unique cards by having the King of Spades on top and the Queen of Diamonds below!

Bonus Tricks: Remove the tape cover and use it for a great card-on-window routine. Bonus reveals on the barcode, Joker cards, box front, box back, box sides, Youtube videos of Cyril on Japanese TV and on the billboard across the street from where you are performing.

This exclusive deck from Blamco comes with a bonus roll of Duct Tape, and if you buy now from the Blamco Industries website, you'll also receive Blamco branded Magician's Scissors, for when a tear is not enough...

Buy the Teared deck now! Hurry, stocks are limited! (to immediate family pets only)

Watching: Jeeves and Wooster

Bicycle Phantom Lion Deck (Shade Version)

iMagic’s Up-roar-ious Range of Playing Cards:

Wonderful finish: SPF-20, with bronze tint on edges
Attitude: in black light scenarios (e.g. New Age Travellers, the 80s), the Ultra Violet finish just screams Attitude [NOTE: IT hook ups not recommended in such scenarios]
New design: unbelievable detail show a pale Ghost™-like, consumption riddled complexion to the court cards
Killer new card box bar code revelation: a subtle “8 07 5PAD3S” will absolutely fry your spectators and is worth the price of the deck alone

5 months in the making, the Bicycle Phantom Lion Deck (Shade Version) was considered to be too much of a Reputation-Maker to be released to the magic community at first. Rumoured to have been secretly developed in iMagic’s ultra secret magic labratory, Phantom Lion was born from the creative mind of Rad Christian, and a mixture of cardboard and marketing alchemy, so now you too can now own a deck that no one else has.

Latin on the Joker translates: “I doubt therefore I might be”

ORDER NOW: First 200 orders get limited edition gaffed card box with uber rare “9 07 5PAD3S” revelation.

TESTIMONIALS / REVIEW:
“This deck is AWESOME. ADD TO CART NOW” – card enthusiast / iMagic employee
“I could not put this deck down: a real page turner” – forum user, Magic Café / Literary Review

Now now folks, leave the innuendo to the Innuendo Forum... One man's fetish is another man's pride. Literally: fetish is defined as an abnormally obsessive preoccupation or attachment. You'll poke someone's eye out with that. But i digress.

You'll make some goth chick very happy one day.

I'm contemplating making a magic for dogs deck where the nine of clubs is bacon flavoured. The rest of the trick will be wasted on the dog but they'll be happy, they'll have bacon flavoured card to eat.

Coming Soon: The Revolution Of All Black Decks

Image

This is, without a doubt, a deck of playing cards like no other. This deck looks as if someone has taken a deck of Bicycle® 808 Rider Back Playing Cards and left it in a bonfire until it has burnt to black ashes. But although this deck looks as if it has been burnt it handles just like a brand new deck of playing cards.

Every single card is unique and has been hand draw, on a computer, until perfection. Over 6 years of work has gone into this deck, that's over 5 months for each card! The dark, black colours on the cards give them a witch craft and evil look, perfect for any card routine!

The brand new ace of spades looks stunning with the original Bicycle® ace going up in flames. Even the jokers have their bikes set on fire. Of course this deck would not be complete without the three different reveals hidden into the deck. There is a card reveal hidden in the bar code, one of the jokers has the 4S burnt into his shoe and on the 5 of clubs one of the pips has 5C embossed into it. All of these reveals will make any trick a true miracle!

The Burnt Deck is also printed on ultra thick, luxurious, 4mm stock with UV-1000000 finish so your cards will slide like butter. Also included in your box is a double backer for all the card workers out their. This double backer can also be used as a DF'er due to the cards black face and back design. An ad card is also included so you know where to get your new, ultra-cool, awesome, coin in bottle effect from.

Buy Now! Only $14.99 and if you pre order now you'll get 5% off or buy 12 decks and get 10% off!
