Apparently, these will be sold through Amazon...see the link at the bottom of Matt's website...when you click on the Amazon link, you will be redirected to a page for Hessler's cards, but they are currently unavailable...

I'm glad they are enhanced they should be good for over the hill. Because I can't figure out what card they are unless there is writing on them. I'm just fading you. Way to put your self into the equation. Did you steal maiden backs?

[jerichoholic]

He didn't steal Maiden Backs, USPC doesn't allow customizing of Rider Backs so he had to use these.

Hi guys.

This deck is my creation. I thought I’d see if you anyone had any questions about it. Usually people either love or hate four color no-revoke decks.

Kardify just did a Q&A that might answer some questions.

Also, this is a slightly expensive deck and they’re on sale an Amazon this weekend. (Sales Pitch)

Hi, Matt.

Welcome to the forums! Sorry I didn't get this approved earlier (in time for people to take advantage of the sale), but we didn't notice the post until just now.

I'm sure Mike will be along before to long to throw you in the Designers den. In the meantime, good luck with your deck and your future projects!

Yep, I just got a pair of these delivered by Amazon Prime, and I like them. It's bound to be unpopular with magicians, simply because it's so completely non-standard, but "Focolor" brand and other No Revoke decks never were a market leader. I have a few British Arpak brand (pretty sure that's the correct spelling) from 1929, and at that time they were quite popular with the bridge playing people.

No deck will ever appeal to collectors, Magicians and Cardists equally. They all want different things.

Tossed into the Lions Den (AKA Verified Designers group). Welcome, Matt!

Thanks guys! That was my first forum comment so I wasn’t sure if I was if I posted it correctly.

I hope to put together another sale or promo with CBJ for the http://www.facebook.com/BicyclePlayingCards" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; page.

My main goals were to make a great handling deck that's enhanced for actual play, and unique enough for the Cardist types to enjoy as a collectable deck. I think you’re right that standard faces and back are probably the best for magic so that audiences don’t assume a “Trick” deck is being used.

Wont let me order them to Canada, will you be putting a few up on Ebay? I thought I would pick up one deck, they seem really cool

[mattfebruary12]

ryansworld4,

Sorry about the shipping issues, Amazon can be a little tricky to work with. I have been working with them to get International shipping working. If anyone has a successful order please let me know. If I can’t get Amazon shipping to Canada to work soon, I’ll provide a different retail option for sure.

Thanks for the heads up.

[ryansworld4]

Thanks for the fast reply Matt, cool!, ill be happy to add this deck to my collection, they have amazon.ca but its not on there Canadian site just on amazon.com

and welcome, sweet deck

Please,don't forget Europe...

I don't know why Amazon has to complicate things so much, geez. Maybe they should have just 1 global website instead of different ones in every country.

mattfegruary12 - I see your already a verified designer. Nice. I have to ask as MFingerz Why the extra text and information on the face of the card? I do like the way your suit index is almost the same size as your rank index. It's almost the perfect size.

[mattfebruary12]

Russell,

Thanks for the question.

I wanted to give the cards a hint of classic antique style and a hand painted look without drastically changing the faces that everyone loves and is accustomed to. I came up with the idea for the text after I decided to add the Black Maria card. At first I was only going to put the text on the two bonus cards, but I ended up liking how the script looked so much that I decided to add it to all the cards. I think it fits pretty well with the concept, and gives them a unique look that I haven’t seen done before.

Hope that helps,

[PlayingCardz]

Please,don't forget Europe...

We will have this fine deck in stock very soon, we are located in France and we ship worldwide so ...

[mattfebruary12]

Awesome thanks ALBERTO68! Amazon tells me international shipping is now working also if anyone wants to give it a try!

[Cbkimble]

Hey Matt, did you happen to pull any uncuts? I really think these would look great as an uncut.

[mattfebruary12]

Hi Cbkimble,

I did print 25 uncut sheets. I haven't figured out what I want to do with them yet. I figured I'd just offer some of them up on the facebook page at some point if it gets enough likes. What do you guys think a fair price is for uncut sheets? I know shipping cost on the tubes is fairly high.

[Cbkimble]

I personally don't like paying more than $30 for an uncut but I might be willing to spend a little more. Maybe I'd be willing to go $50 for an uncut plus 1 deck.

[mattfebruary12]

Hi guys,

I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that these are going on sale this weekend if anyone was still wanting to pick them up.

For anyone interested, the price on Hesslers is down to $12.00 on Amazon today. No idea how long that will last, but there ya go.

If you're a Amazon Prime member, I believe these will ship two-day for free.

Yes - it will - even if you only order one, the way it's setup right now, anyway (not as an "add-on" item). If it's marked "Prime" - it ships for free 2nd-day for Prime members.

[Cbkimble]

Went ahead and grabbed a few of these.
