[badpete69]

Eoghann

you are assuming Jay can throw hehehehe

[JasonBrumbalow]

Here's an accurate representation of the 'whiz' sound when thrown.

So, when are these going to be available? I'm going up to Ricky Jay's Congress of Wonder in July and would love to have some time in with them!

[Bikefanatic]

I can think of a couple of people, I mean a couple of things I can practice throwing these at.

[framegod]

Penguin has them for pre order:

Richie's and Collectible Playing Cards also has Banshee presales. Richie's has free S&H and a 10% off discount, but the website is quite frustrating to use. To find the Banshees, click "Shop" and then "Recently added" (sorry, I can't freaking link to anything there). CPC's got a Memorial Day 10% off promo, but also a regular coupon code, thanks to Sparkz.

All kinds of awesome.

Little extra footage of our studio guys throwing the Banshees. note: They are not pro card throwers and STILL get good sound out of them.

I am the owner of http://www.Richiescardstore.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and I aware of some of the problems with my site. I am currently working on a new design etc. but you can now find the Banshees on my home page and all you have to do is add to bag. to continue shopping either click shop or just jec out using paypal or through the regular credit card prob.

[hikeeba]

Found them, no problem, and ordered a couple up. Do you know when they'll be in?

[Paul Middleton]

If you're UK or Europe based, we've got them for pre-order too! http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/banshees-cards-for-throwing" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Do you know when they'll be in?

Early next week, from what I've heard.

Early next week, from what I've heard.

Awesome, can't wait to try them out!

[Diamond Back]

These cards look amazing. I can't throw card for the life of me but I think I need to get myself a pack of these.

[PlayingCardz]

Early next week, from what I've heard.

Awesome, can't wait to try them out!

Yup, they shipped the Banshees to us resellers yesterday, so we will have those indeed early next week

Can't wait to shoot some stuff !

I am going to the Congress of Wonders also. See you there.

Got notification today my Banshees have shipped.

[shadowkat]

First casualty! Veered off course and hit something hard. I suck at throwing cards but these are super fun. :j

[Widdee]

Got mine in today and first thing I noticed was how heavy the deck is. Just out of curiosity I weighed a typical deck against it and sure enough the Banshees weight was about an ounce more, which doesn't sound like a lot but it is apparent. Tuck is drop dead gorgeous.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious. Tuck is a little bigger too... he's done a great job with the design overall. Think it perfectly suits the function of the deck.

[ryzellon]

Aside from weight and tuck depth, the other dimensions were comparable to the deck of Tally-Hos I had on hand. I've seen more size variation between tucks (and occasionally on the same tuck) in the same run. The height difference is more visible than the width difference.

Banshee

• Weight: 134.6g
• Weight of cards: 54 = 127.6g
• Weight/card: 2.363g
• Tuck length: 90.50mm
• Tuck width: 65.75mm
• Tuck depth: 18.44mm

Tally-Ho

• Weight: 98.3g
• Weight of cards: 56 = 92.8g
• Weight/card: 1.657g
• Tuck length: 91.8mm
• Tuck width: 65.5mm
• Tuck depth: 17.47mm

Has anyone bought their decks from Richies Card store? I pre-ordered mine from there a while back, I got my tracking number on June 5th but the package has not been sent yet? I sent a note out to Richies but was wondering if anyone had gotten their decks from there

Hey Pierre, I also ordered mine from Richie's, and USPS tells me they should get to me on Saturday.

[badpete69]

Ok cool mine just says electronic info received which only means the label has been printed. I am sure they will make their way soo enough

[Firthetic]

Bought a pack of Banshees earlier today. My first impression is that they feel and handle like the Maxpedition deck. They're noticeably heavier as ryzellon has mentioned.

I bought from Richie's too and received my cards last week. He forgot to add the freebie deck that was part of the "Spend at least $30 in May and get a free deck priced $6.99 and above" but I contacted him and he said he'd send along the free deck so that's the only thing I'm waiting on from him at the moment.

Got mine in from Penguin Magic today. Fun cards but very brittle. After just two times of cycling through the deck throwing them (at insulation foam so not a hard backdrop) I have more cards with chipped corners than ones that are still complete. The whirl sound is rather cool and drives the cats crazy but I think I'll keep using the decks from the free brick bicycle sent me for play more cards day.

This was my second toss from 6' away. Kinda surprised it didn't go in further cause I can get some good velocity with cards.

I don't know if it's mentioned somewhere else. I may have even mentioned it somewhere at some point. If not though, yea, Banshees Advanced exist. There's nothing coming soon about them though 2017. Twice the price of Banshees which are a tenner on the zon last time I picked any up on the zon.









(Aether had me thinking about decks for tossing)
