Although I love bikes as they slip and slide like a dream, the phoenix marked deck is pure joy. Those who say it is cheating should think about the audience reactions to something truely impossible.

Do you have a link to see them?

I agree.

Cardshark has produced a great marked deck.

Thanks for the link. I am going to get some.

That is a great resource, I was surprised by the range of themed card stock they have, and the custom printing. I'd advises any card worker to take a look.

Just to let you know: the Phoenix Parlour Marked Deck has now markings in all four corners, making the deck even better for Lefties.

Card-Shark,

As I understand it, the Phoenix Deck and all other things in the Phoenix line are available for European customers in Germany and for U.S.A. customers someplace in New York.

Is this still true?

Yes (and no).

More and more dealers around the globe are carrying my stuff. As Murphy sees a competition in my Phoenix brand to their Mandolin Decks, they do not carry them and try to promote their own products. Murphy's is the most important wholeseller for most Magic Dealers worldwide I would say. Sometimes you could get the feeling that if they don't carry an item it does not exist. The Top Ten list of best selling items is using data of Murphys, so my items will never show up in the Top Ten, even if I had my most successful year ever in 2010, thanks to your support and to the dealers who know my items and purchase directly from me.

But even if I supply every serious magic dealer, I love to stay in contact with and supply magicians directly. I ship worldwide, can usually print or produce nearly every special demand in short term and charge only a flat shipping rate, no matter how much or where you are ordering from.

A year ago we started a cooperation with a good friend of mine, Roger Nicot, who is Card-Shark USA. He is based in Jamestown, NY and ships out all US and Canadian orders directly to make your shopping experience as joyful and fast as possible. He is a great guy and his support is so great that I hardly can imagine any other person who would represent our love for magic paired with professionalism better.

The whole process of engaging Roger into our business was very fluent and most people did not even notice that, as we did not really promote it, our fault. Also, some items were not in US stock in time as the demand grew rapidly during the past 12 months. We are working permanently to improve our business and try to learn fast.

Be prepared to hear and read more often from Card-Shark and / or Phoenix in the near future, I invite everybody to join our revolution!

Penguin has the Phoenix marked decks:

And so does MJM Magic

Murphys has now started stocking the decks so more dealers in the USA will probably stock them.
