Here's a "new" deck of cards that might be appealing to some of you:

fatboyeatallday is a Hong Kong street fashion brand/online store, they use a lot of triangle elements within their designs.
This deck is not designed by or for magicians, hence there are only 54 cards in the deck and one red, one black joker.
My first impression of the back design is that it looks like the Virts deck and Jerry's Nugget a lot, however, according to the designer, the color combination was inspired by his favourite softdrink: Pepsi
I tried the deck myself and here is what I think about the hand feel and paper stock of this deck:
The paper stock is quite hard and very snappy, you can expect this deck to be a very durable deck.
The cards are "locked", so they are pretty good for both card flourishes and card magic moves,
They only customized Jokers and Ace of Spades, other cards are pretty standard looking.
You need to use a specific way to do faro shuffle with this deck: hold the deck face down and start from bottom of the packet
We have reached an agreement of making all the remaining fatboy decks exclusively available at Coterie, however, there are only a little less than 1000 decks still in stock anyway. We are indeed giving a bit of priority to local collectors, however, we will make at least 600 decks available on Coterie.
While we can't do much about international shipping, the deck themselves will not be marketed as a rare deck, so that's probably a good news to many.
Cheers,
