Erdnase Black Limited Edition 2 Deck Set


Black Erdnase Limited Edition Bee Deck Set. These Limited Edition Black Erdnase Bee Decks are printed on exclusive “Bee” Casino 825 paper and made with a special coating to ensure the best handling. They were cut the same way that the “gold seal Bicycle decks” by Richard Turner were cut, so they have “faro” and “shuffle” very well. The decks have a “Black smith back” name in honor of Marshall D. Smith the Illustrator of The Expert at the Card Table. The back design is actually made up of tiny reproductions of the hands in the illustrations of the book. The faces and art work of the decks are the original faces and style that were used by the USPCC in 1902. This design has a somewhat larger pip with smaller index. Each deck comes with 2 jokers and a “Ask Alexander “ card that has a web address for Ask Alexander which is a magic database that is part of ConjeringArts.org You must be a paid member of the site to access this data base. The decks do not have white borders.

The 2 decks in this set have identical boxes and cards, the only difference is that 1 deck has a “smooth finish” and 1 deck has a “Cambric Finish” I love these decks they are a very cool collector's item and they are fantastic for performing. The cards are "thick" and have a great "snap to them. I personally prefer the "smooth" finish to perform with this smooth finish deck reminds me a lot of the "Aladdin" decks one of my all time faviorte. The Cambric finish deck well that is the same finish that is on the "Brown Wynn" Decks that "Theory 11" put out and those are one of the most popular decks ever so I guess you can't go wrong. I do wish the box design was made to look like a mini "expert at the card table book" as in the green decks, a "black version" would look like a little bible. Also the fact that there is no way to tell the 2 decks apart without opening them, That sucks! Please note: I know the difference in the decks because the shipping boxes they arrived in were marked I have opened decks from each to verify this to be true, If you purchase these decks from me I will mark the smooth deck with a "post it" that will easily remove from the cellophane without causing any damage. These decks are a treasure and are sure to be sold out quickly So get yours today. You can find the "Erdnase Black Limited Edition decks" at my store www.the1eyedjack.com as well as the other "Green Erdnase decks" and hundreds of other quality decks for collectors, performers, S.W Andrews and everyone in between.
