Black Spider Deck

Black Spider Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards. Well I guess this the spring of 2009 is the spring of the insect. I am not the brightest guy in the world but do I see a pattern here? Well honestly its a pattern I could live without. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with this deck. The deck is made of fine quality and I am happy to have it in my collection. The deck is nice and visual and comes with 3 "gaff" cards and a joker that features the "Spider" The ace of spades also features the "spider". "Magic Makers" makes nice decks of cards that usually feature the "full bleed" color face. I guess "beef" is not with the product but with a lack of creativity in the playing card industry as a whole? We got the "Black Scorpion Deck" about 3 weeks ago, New we get the "Black Spider Deck" if the "Blue Snake" and the "Green Ant" are crawling there way into the market place next, I think I might need to get my "meds" adjusted! For an industry that is made up of performers that are some of the most creative people in the world, Sometimes the products that are produced just lack creativity in my option. Maybe I just realized the problem in the middle of all my blabber! Maybe if only performers were putting out products they would be creative but I guess we have companies putting out products because its good for business. In this economy we do need all the good business we can get. But that being said my hat goes off to "Theory 11" "Big Blind Media" "Ellusionist" "Parody Productons" and everyone else that brakes there ass to design original products for us all the time. Performers, This is a fine deck and you will enjoy performing with it. Collectors, I know you have plenty of "Black" decks on the self but non with a creepy ass spider! Everyone else, as in the "Black Scorpion" Blog if you know anyone that has a "Spider"tattoo, the holidays will be here before you know it and you shopping delema is already solved in mid march! I know this blog may not get you excited to buy a new product, like a blog should but, But it is just my honest feelings( again more on the industry and not this deck itself) I believe honesty will get me many more sales in the long run!

If someone is this creative in there blog, Imagine what they can do for your company? On with the Thank yous. Other then "performers" I have never met anyone that throws away a deck of cards. I know people that have the same deck of cards in there kitchen draw for the last 30 yrs. That being said when I give someone a deck of cards as a thank you, I know they keep it, use it and remember me whenever they use it. Playing Cards bring people and families together sure the adults use them on "poker night" but children use them all the time for playing, learning numbers and colors. There is a perfect deck of playing cards for everyone no matter what there tastes. If they like a certain color, cause, sport, animal etc. you can find them a deck that they will love , use, talk about, show friends and remember you. If you really want to make a splash get some custom made playing cards made. These wonderful decks can highlight your business, say "Thank you" "Happy Birthday" mark any occasion or even highlight a "Bride and Groom" or the "Birth of a new born baby" I have highlighted my my own custom made playing card. I give these out all the time and make sure to put one in every order I ship out to a customer. ( If any customer should accumulate 52 of theses cards let me know and I will send you a complete pack for your playing enjoyment) This is a very visual and unique way to advertise and it is very cost effective. So if you are looking for that perfect"Thank you" right out of the store or are interested in having "custom playing cards" made please visit my store at www.the1eyedjack.com For strategies on thank yous and relationship building in business please visit http://www.expovantage.com/trade-show-strategies-blog/2008/thank-you-notes-build-relationships-and-help-close-sales

Black Scorpion Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards

Black Scorpion Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards. Here is the newest of the new, and in the playing card world if you archive that title its yours for a few weeks anyway. At first glance this deck appears to be a follow up to the "Black Tiger" Deck. I guess there are only a few problems with that The "Black Scorpion" deck was designed by "magic makers" and the "Black Tiger" by ellusionist. Such is the playing card business. Unless this is your first day on earth you should not be surprised that 2 different manufactures have created a similar deck. The good news is the "Black Scorpion" is also a nice deck of cards with fine quality. In my opinion the quality of the stock is not quite as nice as a "Tiger" or a "Ghost" deck, but close and and certainly as nice as all the other color decks "Magic Makers" has put out in the past, So if you love all those decks you will love this one too. The Yellow on Black color combination really does "pop" visually. The "Clubs" and "Spades" have yellow pips and the "Hearts" and "Diamonds" white pips. The court cards have a yellow, white and blue combination. Of course the "Ace of Spades" features the signature "Scorpion". A nice twist in this deck for performers, The deck comes with 52 standard cards and 4 extra gaff cards as well as instructions on ticks that can be performed with the gaff cards. Every little extra helps in my book. I was hoping for a double backer though, out of luck this time no double backer. But plenty of "tricked out" Scorpion stuff. So if you are a Performer you will want this deck. If you are a Collector hell you will want this just for the box alone. If you know anyone that has a Scorpion Tattoo and you can never find them the perfect gift, then its a lucky day for you both. To find the "Black Scorpion" deck as well as hundreds of other decks for performers, collector's people with tattoos or any outstanding member of society please visit www.the1eyedjack.com
