Zenneth's Coterie box is good for shipping - the box got hammered but the decks arrived very safely - good packing!
I've been handling these the last day and have to say I like them a lot. (Finally got them to faro the way I like!)

I just wish we could do something to get this factory to start pumping out more decks.

Zenneth, any way you can get a dialogue going and maybe print some of your own (Coterie's) designs at this factory? I'd also like to know your thoughts on this deck, handling-wise, if you would indulge me.

Apologize for the late reply, just got back to Hong Kong from a magic convention/lecture tour in China.

Zenneth, any way you can get a dialogue going and maybe print some of your own (Coterie's) designs at this factory? I'd also like to know your thoughts on this deck, handling-wise, if you would indulge me.
I have been keeping email correspondences with this Taiwanese factory and hoping to figure out how to tune the paper stock/hand feel to the way that I want it to be.
The fatboy deck is a unique one, I wish it could be just a little bit thinner, so that they could be more easy to Spring and LePaul Spread, and most importantly, I hope it could be easier to faro too.
Right now I am planning to pay a visit to this factory perhaps some point in Sep. to find out more possibilities.


After fatboy is sold out, I asked the fatboy management whether they have a plan to release future editions and explained the differences between USPCC paper stock and current stock.
They certainly want to and need to make new editions, but couldn't decide which factory to go.
Some customers want USPCC edition and some simply love the current stock for because it is different from USPCC.

In any event, I think many of us have already recognized the potential of this Taiwan factory, so yes, I will definitely make more experiments with them.

That's good to hear, Zenneth. Thanks for responding :)

Regarding the springs and Lepauls, they do get easier after breaking the deck in and over time. And extra resistance just gives our hands a little workout, am I right? ;) That said, I'm all for experimenting and trying new variations, especially from this factory!
