My guess would be issues with Shopify. Perhaps regarding his contract or services. Shopify uses Blaine's name a lot   in their marketing campaigns.
I like to call paper coatings a finish. It makes Don happy.

Nothing in the news other then his interview with a 56 year old, topless Madonna.

To be fair, she wasn't exactly topless.  She was simply jammed into that top like an overstuffed sausage!  This resulted in a bit of nipple-free overflow, but no toplessness - unless there's a better photo in the magazine than the one on the cover!

I would not use the word "better" but yes there is another photo. You can find articles about the interview with Madonna using "Google news" search of David's name. When you get some private time to yourself you can go check that out. :)) lol

There were products on the Website last night around 9 PM EST.

David added a new Magicians Brick of White Lions. 6 Red & 6 Blue Series B White Lions, plus a wallet with "23 never before seen gaff cards" for $150.00. The picture showed the Ace of Hearts fingerprint gaff in the wallet. I believe that gaff was originally created for Split Spades. I've seen the trick on one of Davids specials. Now he has it for the White Lions?

@ Don: ("never before seen") or was "this" White Lions Ace of Hearts fingerprint gaff actually in David's White Lions Gaff Deck first?

My guess would be issues with Shopify. Perhaps regarding his contract or services. Shopify uses Blaine's name a lot   in their marketing campaigns.

Looks like you were correct. David is no longer using Shopify.

Again.... He did it AGAIN....

Card player....

Ok then... so that one Magicians brick you are talking about is a great deal.... Last time we got the cards, the clip and the wallet for $150.00 (probably a little more).

And yes that one card is part of the gaffs he produced last time... I bet he is realising  all the remaining gaffs he has (in favor of new gatorback gaffs?  ???)


So i hope this is not a flashmob sale....

If he has new products, i will be very tempted to buy those...

Damn... im going to go nuts on this...  >:(

I recall there were a few gaffs of that type - but remember, the "Stealth Cards" gaff box contained only 35 of a possible 56 cards.  In addition to that, I bought from Hecrob some more gaffs from White Lions that he received from Blaine.  The released gaffs were only red and blue, while the extra cards came in black as well as the other two colors.  If I took the time to go through them and add them up, the total variety of gaff cards will probably amount to 56.

Technically, those extra cards he got, not originally in the "Stealth Cards" pack, would not be considered as released - he got them as a gift, not a purchase.  I'm thinking that Blaine is shifting away from the White Lions to the Gatorbacks and will have a whole new set of gaffs in that card back design, allowing him to release the remainder or some portion thereof of the White Lions decks and gaffs from his personal stash.

Aside from a small reserve kept to replace decks damaged in transit, I'd say Blaine is sold out.  You could try the secondary market...

I had a really late night last night. I might be sleeping too.

So Mr Blaine did it again... He played with our hearts...  :t11:

The sale is TODAY at 4:00pm EST

I'm glad someone is still excited. I'm going to pass. I can't have everything.

After 3-5 minutes was sold out. I've missed because I was stupid. I added other things in cart, Split Spades cap and DVD, and at checkout was only 4 decks on stock. One second after, at checkout, was only one deck in stock.

I guess Red's will not be soon on stock again.

Those things sold out in no time. I was on the wrong red gatorback page and found the actual store item but by that time they had sold out. Picked up the signed black and red set though  :)

If I were an eskimo, I would build my igloo next to a supermarket.

I didn't see that one pack, red+black, until now even I've tried to select a few different decks in this order. Too bad this pack isn't red+green, signed.

Because I live in Europe, I can make only one order, shipping is expensive. I will wait for another Red call, if will be another one.

Sold out at 3:03PM. Smells fishy.


Mirci, don't feel bad. I put a quantity in my cart and went straight to the checkout at 3:02.  When directed back to the website to complete the order, they were already sold out.

I'll just have to find someone who needs greens and wants to trade, I guess.

That was a David Blaine epic fail. How do you not put a quantity limit per order on this? Who is David trying to make happy, the fans or the re-sellers?

Congratulations to those that got some. I mean that sincerely.
