Sure it can, they obviously didn't print an unlimited amount of the Black Club decks and probably won't print that many, especially if they are only giving one per person.

They have probably already printed 5000 decks. If anything, there would be an issue with the Halo bands or something else involved, but as I mentioned, I've been able to put multiple memberships in the cart. (Only question is whether or not to check out....)

Yeah but what good would multiple memberships be? They may only allow you to buy one per person anyway.

Maybe you'll give one as a gift (after you've sold the Black Artifice....)

It's not sold out. You have to be an existing Ellusionist member... logged into your existing account and then goto that page and the button will show up to add/join.

$147... Seems awfully damn expensive, even for a card membership, especially since it's only to access Ellusionist items. Even on the rare items it gives you access to, I'm sure you'll be paying a premium as well to purchase. *sigh*

Maybe someone will give me one as a Christmas gift...

Black Club members can pick up extra copies of the new, members-exclusive Black Club deck. Limit two decks per member.

That will be possible soon, sweet!

Yes, we're working on it right now. We want members to have the option to buy an additional two. I'll let you know once its live.

I was under the impression, it would be available today, am I right?

We're trying. The coding for the site to allow this is difficult.

If this became an option, I know people that would hop on.

24 hour pre-notice will come in VERY handy soon. We have some great new products coming out, it'll be great to beat people to the punch. Especially if something is limited

on E's FB page

"FYI, for Black Club members. We're looking into a way to allow you to purchase a couple of extra Artifice Black Decks. We need to find a way to limit the quantities in our system. Hopefully it won't take longer than a week to get this implemented, we'll let you know. - Brad."

With the 15% discount and the option to buy another two decks of Artifice Black... I've got my cart ready to go with the membership added... just waiting on those additional decks...

I don't need to buy the membership first and then add the decks do I??? I can do it all in one fell swoop...?

Yes, I believe you do. Also, Brad did say they hope by the end of the week.....

Within a week? Well the discount's only good til tuesday at midnight, and I believe the sale for once you're in the black club (for %20 if I am not mistaken) will end the same time? I don't know if it's worth it yet, still just mysterious hype about upcoming products. As a card collector/cardist/magician there just isn't enough currently in the membership to make this worth getting. Especially when that money could be used for gifts to my friends and family . Can you at least give us something more about the products you speak of?

You will have to purchase the membership first to gain access to the store. Trust me though, you will be able to get another few decks. 100%.

I think the issue for some of us right now (international) is the triple hit on shipping if we have to do another shipment later on, PLUS the fact the extra 15% will be gone.

When are the recognition points rewards going to be posted?
(Need to figure out rate of exchange for stuff....at 5-cents/pt you might need 2000 points for a red porper!)

I hope the rewards will be more interesting than a red porper !

Right now, the picture has a red porper, a gold arcane, and a t-shirt....maybe something else??

Got the membership, it'd be great if you could open that up so we can take advantage of the %15 discount before it ends tonight.

I am holding off further purchases as well, firstly because of international shipping fee and secondly, hoping to hit the $475 mark for the RA

E responded to my shipping cost question.
Turns out what is inflating it is the 15 Deck Box that comes with membership. It weighs close to 2 lbs.

I'm in the US, so I jumped. Also picked up a few other things with the 15% deal (which stacks on top of the multiple deck discounts).

I am now a member of another club specifically designed to take my money... feeling a little sick now

CBJ? Want to go halves? I'll make sure you get a Black Artifice as soon as it becomes available.
