2012 Phoenix Apocalypse Deck

[Don Boyer]

I received that email the 18th and I got the decks yesterday.

I caught my shipping notice in my Spam folder - they shipped about ten hours ago, so I'll likely see it Monday or Tuesday.

I'm in the same boat, except, my email just said "your order disappeared"...nothing more. I freaked, so I emailed them asking if there was to be more of the email lol. They said yes and that my order shipped.

So, going forward I guess you'll never accuse Card-Shark of not having a sense of humor...

Don, since you are in New York, and probable you will receive them on Monday, can you please tell us how they look and handle?

Thanks, JJ.

I can show them off when I get them, but I may not get my mail on Monday.  I'm not always close enough to my post office to fetch the mail and to go from the PO to my fiancee's apartment (or vice versa) usually involves paying a bridge toll of nearly $5, so I keep those trips to a minimum.  I'm predicting Tuesday night would be the latest.

Ours just arrived and all I can say is WOW!!!! These look even better in person. I love all the different shades of green on the back of the cards, very elegant. The court card designs are great. I think this is an awesome deck. You guys will not be disappointed.
Thanks!

I just remembered that I never order these cards! I must order them!

Same here! I just got a refund from the Skulkor deck, so I will be able to get these.

Will you be carrying them?  If so, will your price be competitive to card-shark.de?  I'm itching to get my hands on mine already...

[bmpokerworld]

They will be on our website shortly. We will be selling them for $10.95. They are currently on ebay. Hopefully my webmaster will have them up tonight.
Thanks!

Awesome - with your loyalty discount, that's pretty much the same price as Card Shark!

Guys, remember also - this is a magic deck; it's not just a few gaffs, there's also a marking system!  Look on the 52cartes "Zoom In" article at the three-card reverse fan and you can see the differences from card to card, once you realize there's markings to be found.

What's cool about this design is that it's on the opposite corners from which you'd normally find card markings - not as good for a card-sharp's deck, but awesome when displaying a ribbon spread that's reversed from your perspective and normal from the spectator's.  Assuming he's smart enough to know about marked decks, he'll be looking for the markings in the wrong corners!  GT Speedreader decks use the same location; it's perfect for a magician.

Awesome price, bmpokerworld! This is kinda off-topic but will you also be selling the Vision decks?

Yes, this is off-topic.  I wouldn't be so upset about it were it not for the fact that a simple search of his site would turn up this:

Did you even look before you asked?  Don't answer, just remember this for next time, please...

@BMPW: What are the cards like, quality-wise?  Bicycles, Aristocrats, Tallys, Bees?

[bmpokerworld]

Don,

While I am not the best judge of the subtle differences between standard, quality decks, (I can tell the difference between good decks and bad decks though), they feel more like Aristocrats to me. But you will really need to get an opinion from someone who does not have dead hands.

The cards are not up on our website yet, but they are in our shopping cart and available for purchase. Here is the link:

Sounds excellent on all counts!  Thanks for everything!

I meant black vision, which I looked for but didn't find on their site.

How many of the phoenix apocalypse decks did you end up ordering, Don?

[bmpokerworld]

Out of stock on the black vision.
Thanks!

Be honest: you didn't even look, did you?  Vision decks in black came out nearly a year ago and have long been sold out while the white ones only recently were released.  It's like waiting for him to stock S&M v1 in white and black...


My order at Card-shark includes two Apocalpyse and two red Parlour decks.

[sinsandman]

My decks came in from Card-Shark...they are incredible. The marking system is simple and yet almost unnoticeable to the untrained eye. The coolest thing about getting my package is that it came with a mini pack of the gummy bears I ate all the time when I lived in Germany. I was very pleased to find that little surprise and became even happier upon opening and using the deck.

[MrLukeCarroll]

Hopefully these cards should arrive for me soon, apart from looking mighty impressive they are a steal at around $10 for a marked deck, I think the David Blaine magic decks include the only USPC marked deck I've seen below the $10 mark.

[Don Boyer]

It's a gorgeous deck, handles like Aristocrats, and there's some nice tricks supplied on the back of the calendar - as well as a mini-pack of Haribo Gold Bears!  I love it for general purpose use, not just as a marked trick deck.


(The Phoenix Parlour decks were pretty sweet as well!  The stock's thin and I was actually able to palm three cards in a trick despite the size!  Bonus: ships with an extra flat tuck case for each deck, likely because the cards fit the tuck a little loose and there's potential for minor damage to the tuck in shipping.  The tuck is unsealed, but the cards inside are cello-wrapped.  And the markings on that deck are on all four corners.)

I like the white ones. Hmm... maybe I can only purchase a few of them but not a lot.
DAMN my budget is really getting tight and tighter with everything available.
Anyway, @Don thanks for the brief review there.

White ones?  Which white ones?  Apocalypse only comes in one color, while Phoenix Parlour comes in red and blue.
