If you could have one deck for free, what would it be?

[elementalconjurer]

really. i know all the magicians and xcm'ers love cards. my question is which one do you really want to use with a passion? personaly i would love to try some red jerry's nuggets. the other one i really want to try is the black ghost deck. give me your imput

[AceOfGears]

everyones gonna say jerrys. you know they are.


oh and blue jerrys for me :D

black ghost is pretty intriguing too tho.


-Gears...

[ChristianL]

Yeah i'd say blue jerrys as well... But it would also be pretty cool to have these cards http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/stainless-steel-cards/index.html;jsessionid=L4i5xEzTJSnDJ-Qpf3w26A**...
Just to know how they handle.. :D

[Jack The Magician]

Simply, the Black Ghost deck.

The black ghosts are just so beautiful, but they're so valuable I would never be able to open them. Jerry's too (well valuable, not quite so beautiful. but still awesome).

[The Dark Angel]

The smart money says Jerry Nuggets.
But if I could have one deck for free it would be a gaffed deck that can switch back and forth between looking and feeling like Jerry's and Black Ghost decks.

[3AQ7]

No doubt in my mind, Black Ghost deck.

Of course I wouldn't mind having some Jerry's but I don't really care for them. They don't even look cool to me.

I think Black Ghost are way better looking and are "eye-candy" for the spectator, as the Jerry's are blue or red with a lame-ish logo on them. That's my opinion though.

I would definitely take a Black Ghost Deck, hands down.

They're just so sexy.

[BlueBackedBikes]

Well considering I've got a Black Ghost deck (Trilogy contest ^_^ Still unopened, and will probably stay that way :p), I would definitely want a pack of Blue Jerrys.

[JCwebs09]

yeah i would have to agree with everyone here
jerrys and black ghost
although those metal cards look really cool haha

[stickyfinger]

Sealed Dunes, Carson Nuggets, Arrco Tahoes, Sahara Tahoes.

[magicmatt]

Probably a Black Ghost Deck, They're so cool, I've held one :cool::D and they handle well and look amazing!



-magicmatt:)

[Amane]

Hmm black Ghosts are overrated....they handle pretty much like any other deck..
They're just expensive because E decided to make them 'limited edition'
yea ....whatever...they feel like normal cards...(whatever makes you happy man, just my opinion)
and yes I have used one...nothing special

I would prefer to handle some aristocrats, old studs or some arrco tahoes

[stickyfinger]

Also I'd like some Air cushioned Aladdin playing cards. Not the ones that are meant to be air cushioned, but the misprints that were air cushioned by mistake.

It would be nice to get a deck that's really from the 1800s, not the imitations. It could serve as an antique, or you could perform with it -- it would serve as a nice challenge.

Personally, one deck for free would hardly be useful. It's only gonna get worn down through all the practising and performing. It's frikkin' amazing how much one spectator can crud up your cards just by laying hands on them!

Keep the expensive, over-hyped decks for those that give a rat's bottom. A free deck of blue tally's will do me nicely thank you.

Well, you can get a deck of Jerry's Nuggets or a Black Ghost deck, and then sell it :(, which would all you to buy about 200 blue Tally-Ho decks, so that you never run out of them with all the practicing and performing.

[Avancer]

I'd like some red jerries definitely...maybe a black ghost, personally I'm not the biggest fan of the design, I prefer the bright red colours of the jerry although either wouldn't be bad ;)

[Aces_Wild]

Black Ghosts are too sexy for me to say no too :(

[kingarthurlove]

i prefer black ghost deck~ =D
it looks so nice =D
my favourite~

If you got a Black Ghost deck and sold it for $300 (which is a good estimate for a sealed deck, but I've seen them go as high as $350), you could get 180 blue Tallys :eek:

[lux-ferre]

Black Ghosts for me! I really do hope that the Shadow Masters look similar.:D

[Krash]

If I could have any deck...I would want a deck that doesn't exsist right now, but could someday.

I would want a deck of Guardians that doesn't have a white border, but a black one giving the backings a look much like the back of the Guardians box. I would give them a UV500 airflow finish with casino grade stock.

Not too much of a difference, but just enough of a difference to have it not exsist now.

Maybe someday...

[Phenomena]

im fine with my blue/red bicycles...dont see the point in going out of my way to get different cards when these work fine

saying that, id love to get stuff that isnt comercially avaible...aka gaff decks (decks, not individual cards..)

[Jack The Magician]

A deck that I would like is an invisible deck -- one that at the command of the magician becomes invisible.

Also, the 1928 Coca-Cola Deck of playing cards, which are selling on ebay for an excess of a $1,000.00, would be up there.

If you got a Black Ghost deck and sold it for $300 (which is a good estimate for a sealed deck, but I've seen them go as high as $350), you could get 180 blue Tallys :eek:

Wow, that's exactly what I said except it's six hours later -- Great Minds Do Think Alike (Or Plagiarize :D) :

A stripper deck.
A stripper deck that looks like a stripper.
The end.

In the shape of a stripper, or with one on it?:D

I would be in favor of having one with Chris Kenner or Jon Raiker on it :D.

If I could have any deck of cards, it wouldn't be for playing with them. Whats the sense of getting a free black ghost deck, and wearing them out, when you could sell them for 350$++ and get 100+ bicycles/tally's?. Sure, theres a different between the finish/stock/whatever else you can name, but unless you are professional or get very well paid, I don't see a point in using high priced cards. I've already handled jerry's, and had them given to me free ( Thanks Chris Kenner! :) ), and I won't lie, there nice. But if I could have just one deck for free, I'd probably take that 1,000$ + priced 1928 coca cola deck, and sell it, and get some bicycles.

[TRM]

I know its a cliché but I would really like to try a red Jerry's deck

[kayfour]

for me, i would rather just a normal deck of bikes/tally ho's:

the reason is because:
you would be able to preform with them, with no fear of losing/destroying/bending the cards

but if it was just to keep around the house, BLACK GHOST DECK FOR SURE $$$$!
those are one sexy deck of cards right there

[Eddie]

a deck of rider back bicycles... oh look i got one! my wish came true!

[DavidMisner]

hmm i would want a 104 card deck that consisted of 52 red jerry's nuggets and 52 black ghosts. haha loophole!
dM

[LuckyDog]

... haha, I can't wait to get flamed on this one... :rolleyes:

... I absolutely hate the new stylized E-cards out on the market... sure they're gorgeous, but they smell funny and instantly raise a brow of suspicion, they reek of trickery and instantly cause my audiences to suspect me before I even get started... frankly I don't like walking into that kind of hornet's nest...

... I got into this artform thinking that illusion relied upon recognizable constants, everyday objects like American quarters, wooden matchsticks, soda straws and cotton rope, #2 pencils and paper napkins, stuff like simple playing cards that you can buy at the local grocery store, not on some online wizardry boutique that will scare people before you break the seal because black is now white and vice versa...

... my favorite is and always will be a set of redback Bikes... if I want to get fancy and do something like a 3-card monte, maybe I'll pull out my blueback Bees instead...

[C=B]

Uh, normal deck... jerry's I suppose.

Gimmicked, either a pre-made solid deception deck or a look at peter H's Yuukai deck... I wanna see that thing...

[JPD]

I would have a deck of blue jerrys.........sigh

[ashblack]

definately the black ghost no doubt at all i think i would actually kill for a deck of them. not to open just to put on my shelf and stare at them all day. until i finally get bored and just have to show off with them!! :D

[Eddie]

Hey guys I made a new deck of cards out of paper and I colored them black. There are only 15 of them made, I will sell them for $200 per deck that will feel exactly like paper you can get for 5 cents.

[stickyfinger]

Eddie give a brick right now baby!!!!

[Jack The Magician]

I would like to have a Black Jerry's Nugget deck.

definately the black ghost no doubt at all i think i would actually kill for a deck of them.

I wouldn't do that if I were you because I don't believe they allow any outside objects, such as a Black Ghost deck, inside prison. (I've never been there, so I'm not 100% sure, though.)

Hey guys I made a new deck of cards out of paper and I colored them black. There are only 15 of them made, I will sell them for $200 per deck that will feel exactly like paper you can get for 5 cents.

If you shred 14 of them, then, according to the law of demand, the law of supply, and the law of dynamic equalibrium and diminishing marginal utility, your final deck should be worth $0.002.
