These are absolutely the best set I have seen/owned for sure!
So does anybody have a source for envelopes that work for these cards? I have looked off and on for envelopes over the years and they're too small/big. Is there a site in the UK where we can get their envelopes? I just can't find any on the net. |

I got a big box when in the US; I arrived to do my Penguin live act and my bags didn’t, so I almost had to write a whole new show the day before with items from staples! 😂 Thankfully my props arrived the day of the show! Alex is occasionally kind enough to top me up when he gets back off tour also!
In the U.K. the standard pay envelopes are usually a bit smaller, but paperchase had some really nice black ones that are perfect. I believe Propdog do playing card sizes envelopes too (from memory). The cards are 2.5”x3.5”, so any envelope slightly bigger than that will work. If it’s for the ESP opener, David at Magic Orthodoxy had the great idea of using Ricardo’s Black Door envelopes, I wish I’d thought of that! Alan Wong’s envelopes will also work nicely, that’s what Le Val uses! Hopefully that gives you a few options! Thanks for all the kind words everyone; Murphy’s sold out over the weekend, so we’ve overnighted them some more, they should be back in stock everywhere soon and we still have a small supply at the1914 until the new batch arrives in a couple weeks time. I’m really happy that so many people are enjoying them! DC.

Thanks for the response I do have the Black door envelopes and Alan Wongs as well.
They will definitely work. I wanted to do Gambit and that works with the yellow pay/coin envelopes nicely. I did just now finally find a 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 envelope online. I was only finding longer ones but the 4 1/4 should be just fine. Thank you for your great work! I also have enjoyed Lewis Le Vals Revelations from the 1914.

I got this today, and let me tell you guys, the Eclipse deck is absolutely phenomenal. I couldn’t believe how devious the marking system is!
It comes with a few gaffs for some of the effects taught. As always, Dee Christopher and Lewis Le Val are both super cool dudes, have great chemistry (the intro video is hilarious), and the teaching is crystal clear. Highly recommended! Mor |

They make every effect easier to perform due to the easy readability of the marking system, while simultaneously providing an extremely high level of confidence that the "secret" won't be discovered by the spectator. If they weren't so durable, I'd have ordered a second deck already, but I may very well do so anyway, because I think they'll sell out fast, as they are SO worth the price!

Just received this. And as usual I was trying to figure out the marks by myself and couldn’t. I was concentrating too much on the unnecessary parts of the back design. Later they have to pass the wife test…

The markings seemed obvious to me. I put the 5 different symbols face down and immediately could see that each card was different in a certain way.
I was expecting something a little more devious. Not that it is bad, they are great cards, just the big build up that the markings are invisible unless you know what to look for is a bit of an exaggeration. |

Please do let us all know your wife test turns out, after which (if you do), I'll reciprocate. Should be interesting...at least to the two of us. (smile)

This release is excellent. Robust cards. Minimalist design. Wonderful m***ing system.
If you wish to only carry 10 cards (for the typical match-up routines) I HIGHLY recommend using Ryan Plunkett's "Tyvek Envelope System." The provided envelopes are elegant, perfectly sized, and they'll last just as long as the PVC cards. I love the provided non-descript black box that comes with the set (in theory) but after only a week it's already showing wear. Best wishes, Drew

Re the boxes, I keep my set in a side jacket pocket, so haven’t run into wear issues yet personally, but I’ve just sent a message to the printers to see what the cost would be on getting further boxes flatpacked. As the cards will basically last forever, that could be useful if there’s a calling for it! Thanks Drew!

I've had a weekend to try out the cards and watch the videos - fantastic stuff! I was going to write and see about getting extra boxes as well, so would love to hear what you find out about being able to do that. Fantastic work, Dee! Bill
