I know a place that gives top dollar for plasma. You have to get one.

It is interesting that Lotrek has teamed up with a cardist for this deck.

Not quite. These will be printed by EPCC (Taiwan) and will be very affordable.

So you can either eat home cooked beans or you can add a small portion of bacon to your canned beans! :lol: :lol:

In a previous life, the South Carolina based magician Kellar O'Neil approached me and asked whether I was willing to design a deck for his shows and fans. I liked the style and ambiance of his show and I accepted. I said that I would do it soon. Poor Kellar had no idea what the word "soon" translates to in my case. Now, a few decades later we're close to launching the project and we're working on the final details. This is a deck intented for magic, therefore the courts are the standards redrawn by me. More pics soon ;)

Underwhelming IMO.

Kellar O’Neil goes by the name of “The Southern Charmer”. The symbol is his logo on his website that I assume he has had for some time.

And yeah, I thought the same thing until I researched it a bit more.

Extremely excited about the CHARMERS collaboration with Lotrek. The TSC is the monogram for The Southern Charmer. This logo work is all original design from a creation beginning in 2013. It is shown on my marketing materials, etc and we felt it would be nice to carry it through the design of this card deck.

Idk why I didn't put 2 and 2 together before, but my friend whose initials are TCS, has been using an identical logo since 2014 as his PSN username's avatar...

It's not particularly unique.

The back design could be okay as a "standard" deck. I'd have to see the faces and tuck box to provide full judgment. Just comparing it to something, like Arabesque Players Edition, it underwhelms. Yes, I understand that this is a collaboration, and not a 'bling' Lotrek deck.

Are you mass producing/running a factory of these? First offering me one, now one for Lotrek... :lol:

The decks are going to be printed by EPCC with their Taiwan factory. I imagine that they want to make sure registration is good, while maintaning good handling. While I am sure we will get our chance at plenty of these cards, I imagine a good number of them (and primary reason for them being created in the first place) are going to Kellar O'Neil for his performances and those that attend his magic show. (TGW - note his "Parlour")

I feel like 100% of the time, it's either you, or me.

Like, probably 75% of the time it's my fault, and the other 25% is your ricockulousness.

No. Specifically the letters T, C, and S, in the logo. I figured it out awhile ago.

I've never seen this Dynamo deck before (that I can remember).
