UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Was wondering why nobody posted about these already. Credit to pip.nosher (from whom I stole the pics ) who got the two decks from the recent event held by Bicycle and Cartamundi in NY with a crazy guest list (Bill Kalush, Lee Asher, Caroline Ravn, ...).

Check out his instagram for more pictures. I didn't want to link all the pictures.
Especially the Cartamundi deck is worth a closer look, imo.

The Cartamundi one looks very interesting!

EDIT: You saw it by yourself.

LOL, yah. Sometimes it gets messy with ctrl+c and ctrl+v and all the links while switching tabs .

What an awesome ad card btw. This decks will be a must have for so many collectors...

Calling all Shermans! I would love these in my collection.

Yes, I too really want these - at least the United deck

The colors

I'd be interest in a set as well if anyone has information on where they can be obtained by an "adoring" public.

Looks like we can start a list

1. vasta
2. hsbc
3. Bradius
4. The one and only Harvonsgard
5. ...

For now it is only given to those who were invited to the event. I hope that they did a set for the public as well though. Would love to have that set as well .

I've been keeping my eyes open for a week or so since I first saw them. Not even a peep on eBay, FB or Reddit for a resale. May be a hard one to find.

... or very expensive.

The first ones that hit the market will be over-priced for sure, just like when the first Roosevelt Hotel TXI hit eBay for $100. It all depends on how many, or even if, they release a large pile to the public.

I'm definitely interested in both, but that's assuming a kinda sorta reasonable price. I wouldn't drop $50 a deck on these for sure.

I was there!!
It was invite only, and it was amazing!


The invite...






New York....


















Me with Chris Ramsay and RAVN




Dan & Dave and Ondřej Pšenička





Me with Jonathan Bayme (Theory 11)





Me with Lee Asher and Kevin Yu (Riffle Shuffle)













































It was a blast!

Doesn't sound like any will be showing up for sale at a reasonable price, but that certainly is a nice story!

Looks like I won't be getting any anytime soon, add me to the evergrowing list of people who want the pair, lol.

Seeing the ad card that modifies the Rider Back kills me. New owner in town folks, maybe the lawyers will lighten up a touch when it comes to modifying the trademarked back designs.

Awesome post Jay

"Please let us know if you know anyone in the industry whom we should not miss inviting." Meeeeeeee

LOL... Exactly my thought when I've read that line "Why did Jay miss to tell'em they should have invited me as well".

Thanks for sharing some pictures Jay.

Thank you CBJ for, at least, having us participate from behind our screens afterwards on the nice event. (Thank you for posting photos!)

I would also like to be added to the "list", but it sounds like they will be a hard catch. And also for me, they are not worth more than 50€. Don't know if I would pay that, depends on my mood when I see an offer.

I am so ticked off at those photos. The caviler attitude and no doubt drunken debauchery that must have ensued that they would manhandle those precious cards and fling them on the floor.

I am glad I was not invited to witness that shameful display.

Lol


I forgot to mention...

Open bar and free food the whole night.


Cardistry people and magicians drinking... cards were flying everywhere

Not gonna lie, I've always kinda wanted to load a deck in each hand and spring the cards all over the room like confetti.

That is the game we used to play on the new kids that came over to the house. It was called "52 Pick-Up".

Not sure why that one pic didn't load.

All from Toronto!



Jay

Represent! That looked amazing, thanks for posting pics.

Thanks for posting those pics! These decks look awesome, and I'd love to be added to the list if anyone here is able to scrounge up bunch of these bad Larrys. Well done!

Cartamundi are giving away 30 united decks on instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9g_zuDn6OO/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Still not enough incentive to make me sign up for IG.
