Smoke and Mirrors v7

[Joker and the Thief]

Has anyone received ANY details regarding this release? I know we are also anticipating the release of Red and Blue Fulton Casino's, but, to me, this release is more prestigious.

As far as it goes, if they don't release it this year, that surely breaks their routine of two Smoke and Mirror decks a year. :'(

Yes! They're apparently releasing them November. And I'm actually pretty physced for the red and blue Ace Fultons

Two per year?  Didn't v6 come out summer of '11?  I remember buying them when I was still dating my wife and we got married this summer...  Her son "accidentally" ruined a deck when he performed a "Mindfreak" magic kit stunt and smeared red lipstick on my hand without me seeing it until after I'd shuffled the deck a few times.

They haven't released any Smoke & Mirrors since last year and only release them once a year as far as I know.

They are coming 6th Nov?

"Seven years ago we began a journey and this November we reach our final destination. Join us on our birthday, November 6th at dusk, for an exclusive sneak peak."

[Evan]

It says that there will be a sneak peak of it on the 6th

[KPopFever605]

You should've seen my heart light up when I saw this in the "Unread"section. I've waited months for this deck. It's sad to see that this will be their final deck, but I hope there able to go out with a bang.
With the teaser they showed us, I'm assuming that the deck may be purple. Of course, i could be wrong.
What puzzles me is why there releasing just a teaser on November 6th as opposed to the entire deck.
Wouldn't it be more logical to release the full deck on Election Day.

Only time will tell.

[Joker and the Thief]

Sooooo freakin pumped! This looks as though it would be a bit different in terms of design.

But - dusk where?  It occurs at different times in different places all over the world, even within the same time zone!

Hmm, releasing a deck on a day when people in the US are busily trying to decide who will be their local, state and federal leaders for the next handful of years?  Sounds like it might get ignored in all the other, more important goings-on.  Might as well have released the deck during Hurricane Sandy...

How can you tell?  We don't even know if the image is of a card or the box - or neither!

If it were up to me, which it's not, I'd say the release time is around 6:00 PST. From their previous releases, I believe they used the PST time zone. And when I think of dusk, I think 6:00 p.m.. Dawn for me, is 6:00 a.m. - Let's see how they play this.

Okay, I see you there.

Dusk is the time period during twilight when the sun is no longer visible but the light from the sun still is - the period between full sundown and darkness of night.  And it will probably be during PST, now that Daylight Saving Time is over.  But as I said, that can occur at varying times even in the same time zone, depending on the landscape of the specific location.


But whatever, it's just the sneak peek and not the actual sale, so it doesn't really matter that much in the end.

I'm somewhat hoping that they've at least changed the back design and stuff. But please, for the love of all things peaceful like doves and stuff, have a teaser that isn't 1mm away close ups of the deck.

Don't hold your breath.

The concept of "teaser" and "artsy-fartsy photography that doesn't really 'show' anything" somehow became permanently linked together in the custom playing card industry...  Expect a lot of sizzle, no steak.

It's like a movie trailer where you get to see the leading character sitting on a couch reading a book for about three seconds.  Looks nice, I'm sure, but says jack squat about that particular feature, doesn't it?

Very true. Well I guess all we can do is hope they're not overhyped. The least we'd need is for it to simply be a colour change. If this is the case, then I'll be pretty much done with them.

You should eat more poultry instead, it's healthier for you...

Well certain fish tend to be high in omega 3. Great for the brain.

[agera94]

I personally prefer potatoes with my salads.

[Paul Carpenter]

I am hoping, from the teaser, that the v7 harkens back to the v1 and actually has an interesting back design, perhaps they got Si Scott back on board or something. The back design we've seen for years now is alright, classy and all, but rather dull after way too many color variations.

Haha anyway back on topic y'all. V7, I'm excited. Maybe there will be heavier embossing by the looks of that photo, we can't really tell yet. But I am am excited.

Let me ask you a question: Did you like their six- deck series then?

The first three (six) decks they had were minor additions to their back design and new names, such as Special or Luxury editions. No recoloring what-so-ever.
With their next three (four) decks, they kept the same back design, but instead decided to release them in three different themes. No back design editing at all.

But please, for the love of all things peaceful like doves and stuff, have a teaser that isn't 1mm away close ups of the deck. 

Well, you've got to think of it this way: A teaser is supposed to tease, and those 1mm close-ups will do just that. If the Bucks wanted to show their entire deck box, or maybe a few cards, they would call it a reveal. Understand it better?

Will you three shut up?!? It's around dinner time on my side of the world and I'm getting hungry. GROWL.

How can you tell?  We don't even know if we're looking at a card back, tuck box or someone's wallpaper in that photo, and I certainly can't see any embossing...

At what point was I disagreeing with him?

Next time you jump to a conclusion, be careful what you land on.

I didn't say that you were disagreeing with him. Now you just jumped to a conclusion. All I was saying it that you completely repeated what he just said in the post right before yours.

Well, although you didn't mention it straight up, you did make us infer it.

To me, it looks like a wallpaper. I bet it'd make a nice one too!
