Hey brother, you’re a great man with brilliant content. Thank you for sharing your DB playing cards collection with us. I was in 2 minds about purchasing black lions or the split spades silver edition but with this vid I was able to make my final decision as I didn’t really want to purchase both packs. Thanks again :)

The Red Tour editions were the ones initially given to VIPs, however as they were running low on the Black Eye deck, they swapped them towards the end of the tour, so that VIPs now got the black deck and you could buy the red deck

I've heard from people who saw Blaine early on in the tour and they've gone back and forth at every show. Now, all of the decks are running low.
@JustJoshinMagic7 жыл бұрын
Initially the decks were signed gold gatorbacks, because they didn't have the tour decks in just yet. Then they got the tour decks in, where they sold the black tour ones for $10, and then the signed black EPCC deck was 50. They also had a set of a sealed black EPCC deck and a gold gator back, in a signed box that was $100. The red tour editions were signed and only given to VIPs. Then they started to run low on EPCC, which is why those became the VIP deck, the Red signed ones were now 50, and they sold out of the black tour ones. My buddy works on the tour

I just went to the Birmingham show last weekend and was VIP. He gave away the signed red classic lions and you could buy the black ones that made number 1 in this video for 50 a deck.

Really nice cards from the looks. (I don't have any DB deck, though, and probably won't change that anytime soon.) Shin Dong suggested top 10 of card producers, but I think that more specific top 10 of your favorite card designers and showcasing design of a few (or more if you like) of her or his deck for each of the designers could be even more interesting. Magicians/Cardists and/or magic companies are what decks are usually famed or remembered by, but even if designers may not always be the ones bringing core ideas of the design concept, they're always the ones making such idea transform into real stuff that you can (hopefully) pleasingly look at. Therefore I think they deserve more spotlight.

I have an amazing David Blaine story. On June 7, 2017 I went and saw one of David Blaine's shows on his tour in Spokane, Washington. My family and I made it in Spokane, but we had missed a turn so we had to take a detour. We stopped at a four way stop, and out of the corner of my eye I saw David Blaine get into a Jaguar. My mom who was driving tailed the Jaguar until it pulled over. We saw David Blaine get out of the Jaguar so I get out and I said "Hey" David peers over his shoulder to look at me and he says "hello." Then I said shyly "I am big fan of your work," and David says "thank you" and I give him a light fist bump. I asked if he would like to sign one of my cards, he says that he would be right back to put his stuff away in his tour bus. David Blaine comes back and he took the ace of spades from my deck and he signs To Spencer Elvis and his signature. He asked if I had a camera on my phone if I wanted to pose for pictures, but I had forgotten my phone, and David Blaine replies in his soothing voice "Well Shit" as if he was surprised that I am one of the few teenagers who isn't attached to their phone, but my mom was taking pictures of the event in the distance. And I said "thank you" and I saw David Blaine walking back to his tour bus. That is the story of how I met David Blaine.

Although I love the handling and feel of the White Lion B & Tour Series, I wish I had a black deck with those same properties, The Black Lions are more visually appealing to me, both the black and red, but they would be better to suit my everyday needs if they felt more like the White Lion’s. I wonder if I could make that sound any more confusing. Haha. Blaine is also one of my more favored illusionists and him being from basically my backyard in NYC makes him the hometown hero.

What about the Gold Gator backs? I thought the Silver Split Spades were the worst, they look dull in bad lighting as opposed to shiny. IMO the OG split spades were the best ever, there was something during that time that the USPC was using some kind of chemical additive that made the cards last for a long time and they can be abused and still retain their shape. The USPC ended up going with some environmentally additive in the cards that we have today which are still good, but nothing like the OG Split Spades.
