Just in case anyone's curious I've bought from this eBay seller (triponmagic) before and had good experiences - once I was sent the wrong deck and they sent me the correct one free of charge

I’ve had multiple good experiences with this seller as well.

Murphy’s is making this available as well at a decent price it seems

I like these. The borders seem ginormous, though.

How much was this going for? USPCC showing how one incorporates the theme into the courts design to make it semi-custom and still be magician friendly! With some creativity, you can even make the deck marked.

I can get these decks at Meijer (big supermarket in Michigan) for $4.99 (on sale from $5.99). When I opened mine, I was really surprised at the quality for the money. Truly feels like a high-end deck -- should have cost more, in my opinion. I contemplated buying the whole batch on the shelf and selling them on ebay to the rest of the market who might not be able to get them at such amazing pricing.

Hmm ... just checked vanishingincmagic.com, and they're priced even better there -- $4.45. So, I guess the whole world has the opportunity to own this deck at a great price.

When these decks were originally released, they also released limited edition art prints.
I managed to get a few, and sent them to a friend named Tony Scanlon (
https://www.3dartcards.com/ ) who does art pieces with cards.
And this is what he made for me. I LOVE it.

Jay, that is truly a fantastic piece, totally worthy of primo wall real estate.

How good is the inverted tuck!
It would make a great card back
