More Imperials are due to me a few days before black friday yes, but I didn't want to add the imperials to the Black Friday list until I had them in hand.

Got these from social media

http://www.kingwaregoods.com/
Launching their playing cards and card clips online store on Black Friday. Put your email in to get a reminder and 5% off . Targeted for Cardists and Magicians. He's got custom card clips with comic book designs. Even selling Red High Victorians for non-US customers.
Edit: Wait for a few seconds for the email pop-up to appear to enter the email. It's more like a slow ghosting in than a pop-up.

https://www.my-magic.store/
This one is from Malaysia. 2000 items with 300+ new items at 80% off. Cards and magic for sale.

It may be worth checking out as the exchange rate is USD 1 to RM 4.15, AUD 1 to RM3.1, CAD1 to RM3.2, UK 1 to RM 5.5. Shipping is very affordable and reliable. Malaysia national courier service, Pos Laju tracking is linked with all the other major country national postal tracking system. Registered mail is also very affordable and available for extra security. I've bought from them before and have great customer service.

It's hard to believe that Black Friday is just two weeks from today.

I've updated the first post to incorporate the added info. Thanks, gang, and keep 'em coming!

My wallet is already crying in anticipation.

I will also release offers and something new
(no spoilers)

Is this coming week black friday? 18 Nov?

No, 23.Nov.2018

On Black Friday I'm mostly interested in new decks instead of % off at stores (unless it applies to the new deck release) since I get what I want during the year. White Christmas Deck The Halls deck is the only thing at the moment I'm highly interested in.

I stocked up on Ellusionist and Theory11 goods, among others, at recent Black Friday sales so I am also not going to be attracted to just %-off promotions.

Ellusionist hasn't released a good deck in so long. Killer Bees? Red Knights? One of those.

If Theory11 offers some free Gold Monarchs, though...

If this year is like each of the previous five years, there will be plenty of new decks and plenty of sales. Oh, yeah.

You'll see the mentions start to pour in soon.

I sure hope so it seems awfully quiet this year.


I will be offering the following in my online store: http://www.jacksandjokers.co.uk

Current Club Members = 15% off, plus 1 free mystery deck for purchases of £75+ or 2 free mystery decks for £100+ purchases.

Non Members = 10% off (Use Code: Friday18) plus 1 free mystery deck for £100+ purchases.


I will also have these 3 half brick deals for £59.99 each, prior to any discount given.
Offers begin approx. 7am GMT, Thursday 22nd - 7am GMT, Tuesday 27th November.

I'm always curious if DKNG will make another wheel deck.

The 5% off code is "Welcome5".

A completely NEW deck should be released within the next two weeks. It will be a 3-4 days campaign (250 or 250+250 decks) OR 21-30 days (500+500+500) Cartamundi, cold foil. USPCC is an option. In this case 1000 decks will be printed by USPCC and (250+250 or 500+500) by Cartamundi. Follow on Kickstarter/Instagram to get notified.

you mean, it's neither Lino nor GLIDE?!?! man, you've been keepin' busy lol - now I'm super intrigued to see what you've been working on

I was just going to ask the same thing. I suspect that it is more likely to be Glide than Lino (that Alex wanted to spend a bit more time on) but it would be good if Alex could shed some light on it.

It will be a completely different deck. I'll post some details for backers of my last campaign first. Need some time to finalise quotes to understand how many decks I'd like to print. Primary goal - to produce a limited, KS only deck.

UPDATE: @Magic Tapp, don't want to hijack this topic. Will reply here: working on 3 decks (90%, 80% and 60% ready) and 3 decks are just concepts or ideas. Thanks

Thanks Alex - so how many decks you have in development then?

Lorenzo will have 20% discount on the staff in his shop.

EPCC/ Conjuring Arts BF sale

I updated the original post with the information that's been talked about here in the thread, but I have to say... I'm surprised we haven't heard more teases of upcoming sales and new decks at this point.

It is a near certainty that Ellusionist and Theory11 will have some sort of sale and promotion going on (T11 will hopefully bring back their Wheel of Prizes) as well as a new deck or two each. But... where's the hype? WHERE IS THE HYPE, I ASK YOU?!?!

I am with you. Pretty sure Blaine had 25% off last year and I loaded up on stuff. 25% off his already lowered brick prices on the older decks is too hard to pass up.

Just announced on Blaine's IG that these Gold Split Spades will be available on Black Friday:

Holy shnikes, if those are gold MetalLuxe Split Spades Lions, I might soil myself. His 1st Edition Split Spades Lions are getting harder to find and pricey. God, I hope he's releasing foiled versions of them. Also, it's good to see he's getting away from EPCC and back to USPCC.

Well, now this leads to some very interesting dilemma, who should you go for first? JR or DB's ? My first DB deck was his Split Spades Silver. Absolutely beautiful. His Gatorback Gold also incredible. I missed JR's imperials the first time round. Decisions, decisions.

Hire proxies

Your dilemma will probably be solved in that JR and DB are in different time zones. If both use 12am as their starting point, you will have one hour to handle your DB business before JR's decks go live. Also, if they happen to be at the same time, I would go JR first as his stuff is way more limited than the DB decks (typically). Not sure what the print run will be on the Gold SS, but gotta be 5K minimum???

Smoke and mirrors X Anyoneworldwide deck is
2400 23rd Nov (-GMT8)

Not sure if posted yet and its a 24 hour preorder...whatever that means


Go for JR you aren't gonna take 1 hour just to order a deck :s

David blaine can wait
