Oddly enough I haven't seen any thread about this.
Looks like we have a brown version of the Madison Rounders coming soon. Considering Daniel's love for the Brown Wynn's (just like the red Wynn's) my guess is that these will be very similar if not exactly the same shade of brown as those were.
(http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/q80/s720x720/1184930_10151627102466161_1746378040_n.jpg)
(Yes, it's possible that those COULD be the black Rounders but considering the black in his desk compared to the deck, I'd say that these are indeed brown ones. Especially considering Madison himself having commented on the picture with "Look closer".)
-
With the lighting, the setting, the focus, etc., it's hard to tell. The one thing I can say with accuracy about the new deck is that the open pack in the photo has off-center backs...
-
I doubt it. These look like black rounders to me. I can see where you might think its Brown. Brown is too close to Black anyway. What would be the point?
-
I'm becoming more and more confident that these are in fact brown Madison Rounders each time I look at the picture. They're brown, no doubt. And what else would be in this picture to "look closer" at, like Daniel himself is telling people? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151627102466161&set=a.147152631160.119734.61472466160&type=1
I liked the black Rounders but felt they could've used some color, and since the red ones are in Daniel's possession and won't likely be available for regular purchase, I can work with a brown version. Not that I need any, but, you know.. ;D

Real or not it's not impossible to alter colors..........this is a quick fix example, so a trained graphic artist with the right programs can do just about anything. I hope they do come to fruition, I'm kind of liking the brown on many decks I've seen

I don't want a Madison poop colored deck. Even if the Wynn's came in brown, that does not mean Madison has to do it. Next...
@Marcus
I honestly don't know where you got this picture from? I have to agree with Sparks. Altering color on photo's is entertaining. Its just fun when people like you react to it this way. Make sure your getting the picture or information from a credible source. Also, please provide the link to your source.
When did Madison ever say he liked the brown Wynn's? I know he likes the red/scarlet Wynn's. Hence scarlet rounders and scarlet dealers.

Read the previous posts. He provided the link to Brad from Ellusionist's facebook page. Title of the post from Brad was "My kitchen counter right now". Probably not a credible source there. ???

Well there you go. Sorry I missed that.
If that is brown it's too damn dark. Would they not have gone with a lighter brown if that's what they were going to do? That's ridiculously too close to the black. I still doubt it. Its just a picture of his kitchen counter with black Madison's people. Don't wake me up from my non-buying hibernation for a false alarm.

"look closer"
There's coffee brewing in the background.
Apart from that shocking piece of information, there is a noticeable difference in the shade of colour between the desk and the card backs. It could just be down to the lighting. Whether this means we can expect another colour to be in our collections soon, we can only speculate and wait. But on Daniel Madison's other releases, there's only been two colours. Why make the same deck in another colour, when more money is to be made in releasing a brand new deck in two colours again?!
-
I'd like to think that they're releasing a new watch, based on the image of what looks like a watch instruction book in the left of the photo...I like watches!

Let's not forget about the cupcake. E might have some magical baked goods for us. Lol Or maybe a Rounders coffee mug?
I can't deny the fact they are a pantone of brown. FML
The attached photo from Madison with a rounders deck in the background says it all for me. "invoice"

As already pointed out, it's from Brad who posted it on the Facebook page, and since there's nothing else of value in the picture I believe it's about the deck.
About the brown Wynn's - well, I've heard more than once but I'm pretty sure Daniel also mentions it very briefly (along with the red Wynn's which are his favorites of the Wynn decks if I remember correctly, hence the 2k decks of the Scarlets for himself) in one of the Revelations episodes.
Keep in mind the (assumed) Brown Rounders in the picture are pretty dark due to the bad lighting. I reckon they'll look better/brighter in real life.

There was room for improvement by auto editing standards. The lighting and contrast is not terrible. I don't think your lighting theory holds up Black or Brown. Its approximately Red 51 Green 43 and Blue 40. A brown would have more Red. A gray scale or black would be about even in all 3 RGB. Its very very close. Closer to Black then Brown but Like I said, I can't deny the fact there is slightly more Red. Making the card backs in the picture the slightest pantone of brown. We will see...
-
Brown is too close to Black anyway. What would be the point?
I'd guess the point would be to sell thousands more decks to dedicated fans. ;D

This is what happens when I change the exposure a bit. Not proof, but I'd say it's pretty close.

Daniel Madison's latest tweet would suggest these are coming pretty soon.

How Now Brown Cow

The only thing I got from all of this is that if someone posts a picture or tweet and says something cryptic all of a sudden there is a new deck coming out! Seriously cal down folks, for all we know it could be related to the watch diagram, after all you don't have to look close to see the cards are there, but why is that diagram there?

The diagram is there probably because someone in the household got a new watch...
It's not a matter of "someone" posting a picture or making a tweet - it's WHO is posting the picture and WHO is making the tweet. They've all but said by now that a new Rounders deck is coming, and it appears to be an homage to the Brown Logo Wynn deck.
I like that it's a dark color - that "shiner" trick he mentioned in one of his Revelations videos might also work with this deck as well as the black Rounders.

- The "Look closer" comment was most likely because nobody who commented on the fb picture noticed the color of the deck.
- We have one tweet from DM with the phrase "New Rounders?".
- We have another message from him mentioning that he'll soon post more info about Rounders (don't recall of this was fb or twitter).
So yeah, it's probably a new watch.

That could be the reason for the comment but who knows.
As for the tweet, it sounds more like he's asking if people want a new Rounders and not stating there would actually be new Rounders.
-
But the tweet right after the "New Rounders" tweet was: "Sometime next week, I will have Rounders news."
Granted there could be some kind of news about the existing ones, but what would that be? No, everything is pointing to a new color or two.

It's the watch! It's a shiner with the Rounders brand name on it! :)) JK
-
Well, they exist. As do Blue Rounders, of which there are only 2500. Interesting.
-
So, who's got the email? ;)
Looks like it is brown, as inspired by the brown Wynns we know that he loves so much and it's unlimited ..
But wait, there's a blue one too??? :) limited, 2500 available. Who's gona make a purchase for the books to get these?
EDIT: fanofyankees, you beat me to it :)
-
I would like to get both. Ill need to see the promotion first to see how I'm going to do this. I usually manage to get the very best deal possible from E.
-
I don't seem to have the email anymore but basically it was like this.
Buy one of their new books, one is $95 & the other $55 I believe and you get a free Brown Rounder, buy both and get a free Blue Rounder.
Buy a brick of Brown Rounders and you get a free Blue Rounder, same as with the Dealers previously.
-
Links for books doesn't work now. Maybe tomorrow.
"However, if you purchase BOTH Anthology AND How to Cheat at Cards together, we'll give you a FREE LIMITED EDITION BLUE Rounders Deck. Only 2500 Blue Rounders have been printed, and they're only available with purchase of both books, or with every 12 Brown Rounders purchased."
If you take only one book, you'll get only one free brown deck.
LE. Sorry, I wrote after the last message. I didn't see vmagic post.
-
I've actually been wanting to pick up Anthology. I'm looking to get two Blue. I have 2 each of DM's released Scarlet decks. Maybe if I buy a brick of Brown I'll get one Blue and another Blue for buying Anthology? What do you think Jake, Is that feasible?
-
The deal for the books and the blue deck is quite decent if you're into it; as I already have How to Cheat at Cards I don't feel that the additional money to get some bonus content is quite worth the dollar coupled with anthology (although I do want to get it), but just picked up a brick of the browns due to my liking for the brown wynns, and the blue rounder deck to go with it. At the bottom of the blue rounder page E do mention that at this point in time this is the only way of obtaining them, so I'm thinking black friday sales for some nice deals with the blue rounders included.

It should - but you should probably call first to be certain. Beyond the limited quantity of the print run itself, there's no mention of restrictions on how many you can obtain. I imagine if you bought 2 bricks, or two 2-book sets, you'd also get two blue Rounders decks.
-
...as I already have How to Cheat at Cards...
This is the book http://www.scribd.com/doc/98576629/The-Card-Cheat-Handbook-by-Daniel-Madison (http://www.scribd.com/doc/98576629/The-Card-Cheat-Handbook-by-Daniel-Madison) ?
Anyone interested about getting brown and blue decks? How do you thing about this colors?
-
When you add two brick sets you get two blue, but when I added two sets of books I only saw one blue deck
-

You read my mind. But after agera94 Black Friday suggestion, I was thinking to get only one brick of browns, not two...maybe I'll get a better deal on Black Friday. Or maybe not, I don't know.
Btw, after E's BC email, I was standing by and I received this email, but was only a bug. Only two blues :D

Question answered. Thanks!
Now we all know that you can order more blue decks as long as you meet the requirements for each deck.
-
Just a few decks are limited, like Sultan Treasury which is limited to only 2 decks per person. Same Black Artifice, only two + one deck from BC membership and so on...
Otherwise I don't know what to do...one or two blue or only one and wait for a better deal to Black Friday?
But no one answered to my questions (about the book, your thought about this colors) ...thanks!

That's not the book; How to Cheat at Cards is Madisons own take on Expert at the Card Table. I believe the card cheat handbook is included inside of HTCAC.

It might be wise to wait. No guarantee what deal they'll have, but when I just missed out on the "Halloween Tricks" promotion Ellusionist was running. I emailed their customer service team about if I still could get in it. I was told I couldn't since they had to be really strict about when something is bought to qualify for it, BUT I was told they'd be having a Holiday Promotion that's "supposed to be the best one yet" that's suppose to be out Mid-November (maybe) but I guess take that with a grain of salt.
I honestly wish the Blue Rounders were unlimited. I'm really liking the shade of blue.

I Picked up TWO bricks of Brown. Got my 2 Blue Rounders.
I think making Blue the limited deck is a great business strategy for the very reason your saying it should be unlimited. E is going to sell a "large load" of browns because of it. You can wait... But I can't. The longer I wait the less chance I have of making the best of this deal.

I'll say now - if you're after Blue Rounders, this is the way to get it. It's true there will be a way to get one in our Holiday Promotion - but if I were you, I'd pick up a Brick of Brownders. Keep it on the DL - but you'll need to spend more to get the Blues come Holiday Giveaway. ;)
Also - The Card Cheat Handbook is ages old. It contains some stuff that's in HTCAC (like the Blood Marking System) but HTCAC is much more comprehensive and contains a heck of a lot more material. Anthology is basically every PDF Madison put out between 2000 and 2010, plus Revelations 03 (the book - not the webshow) and Five.

If only the webshow was in the book as a sort of comic :karrit:

(I'll be over here holding the "I told you so" sign, anonymous. ;) )
In all seriousness, I like the brown Rounders. They're a nice substitute if you like the Brown Wynns look but don't want to pay that much or have trouble finding them. The blue Rounders are nice but aren't really doing it for me. Definitely prefer the red and black ones over them. I'll most likely pick up the brown deck later on, since I don't experience any "must have" feeling about the blue deck and I already own the Anthology and HTCAC there's no rush.

I still think it's a watch. Lol
I was not alone, was I? You should take that sign and turn it into a lasso. You wrangled up a few of us on this one. Unfortunately I don't use Facebook and you had more complete information then I. When your right, your right.

If you're after a chance of a blue deck at a lower price - we're giving one blue deck away at random to one customer that pre-orders before the stock lands next week! :) http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/brown-madison-rounders
-
Well, I'm not quite at the stage of collecting where I'm buying bricks, so I'll be waiting....and a Blue deck is probably out of the question, lol

Nice price for Europe ;)
-
I couldn't resist a brick of Browners straight from E, not for the Blue deck particularly but for that lovely Wynn brown!
Not sure what to make of this offer. If you can afford a brick and manage to sell your Blue like this ebay listing then you've got a practically free brick brick of Browns!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Madison-Rounders-Limited-Blue-Playing-Cards-Ellusionist-RARE-Sealed-Free-Brown-/271309036541?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f2b475bfd
But I suppose you can't blame E for our crazy purchasing habits.
P.S. I don't mean to encourage re-selling, you probably wont get that much and then you wont have a blue deck!
-
Well if anyone wants to get rid of a couple Brown's at a "Reasonable" price let me know. I'll forgo direct from E to help a member lighten their investment on the Blue deck,lol
