Zenneth has also posted a pic/video on his FB page...
As you can see... it's a new Bee deck. You can see it in this video at the 5 min mark

I think there should be more custom Bee decks... and Tally-Hos as well

Re: New Deck from Zenneth Kok - "Project C"
Hey CBJ, thanks for the head up.
First of all, on behalf of C, I would like to express our gratitude to superstar Lu Chen. At one point USPCC wanted to have him as a speakperson of Bicycle cards in Asia to do what David Blaine has done in US, yet even USPCC couldn't afford him. Also, let's not forget Lu Chen has his own Spar playing cards, so we must say we are indeed very honored to have Lu Chen making the appearance with Project C deck on this year's Golden Bell Award(which is the most important T.V. show award in Taiwan).
Guys, I know the wait have been killing many people, myself included, but the good news is that l'll be able to provide an update of Project C tomorrow.
Cheers!
Zenneth

Re: New Deck from Zenneth Kok - "Project C"
C stands for Coterie.
Project C is not just a deck of cards, rather it's a platform and organization primarily serving professional magicians, so we will be releasing quite some items for professional magicians and playing cards, of course.
For now, I guess I'll just share with you guys the part of C which most people here at UC care about.
The first deck from C is a custom Bee and it's a limited edition of 5200 decks.
Casino grade Bee stock
Standard card faces
2 Gaff cards
2 identical jokers
Initially, the Coterie Bee was not meant to be a limited edition, until USPCC said the design of King of Hearts gaff card infringed their copyrights policy,
however, this was after we signed the contract and made deposit.
We were requested to change the design or accept their proposed design, but we insisted the original King of Hearts gaff to be printed as it has a least two effects built in,
obviously their proposed design will not facilitate the effects, also, any delay in manufacturing will further delay our launch, which we cannot afford.
As a matter of fact, we still haven't received uncut sheets from USPCC as we speak now, so I think that shows the necessity of insistence on printing the original design.
Finally, USPCC decided to make an exception and print the original King of Hearts Gaff, but they also made it clear that they will not print this design in the future.
Due to this change of situation, this edition of the Coterie Bee becomes a limited edition.
This deck will be available at our offical website: http://www.Coterie1902.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
We will be launching on 31st this month at 19:02(UTC+8).
Let me know if you have any question about the Coterie Bee, I'll be more than happy to answer.
Cheers,
Zenneth

Re: New Deck from Zenneth Kok - "Project C"
Indeed they look nice.
I went for 2 decks to see if they fit my preference of a performing deck.
The magic effects sound nice too,but no demo on the website ;-(
Would have gone for 6 or maybe 12 decks but high shipping ....no go!

Re: New Deck from Zenneth Kok - "Project C"
Sadly most resellers(including me) won't be able to carry this deck, they do not wholesale the decks nor provide discount for 12+ decks purchases.
That's sad, I was really excited to get this deck

Hey guys,
Here is the pic of the mailing box. You need to understand something... this IS the shipping box. Stamps/labels/etc.. will be stuck to this box. Instead of using a brown shipping box, they are using these...
