I thought that the Bicycle Black Tiger Decks are exclusively from ellusionist. Yes, some are sold at online auctions like ebay.
But why is Penguin selling Black Tiger Decks?Did they buy it from ellusionist? Are they teaming up? |

As I've heard they sold them to Murphy's Magic Supplies, who distributed them to a lot of other magic shops. I'm guessing penguin is one of them.

They're selling for $4.95 a deck with free shipping, not a bad deal for those that didn't want to spend so much when they first came out.

Alakazam in England is also selling Black Tiger Decks, and Hocus Pocus (USA) as well.

Why does it matter if penguin has them?

Doesn't matter, ellusionist is getting mad cash for this.

The reason they are selling them is because many many magic companies bought them. How do you think they sold out so fast. Its not like they sold 5000 individual decks in 2 days. My local magic shop bought 500 and they are selling them for around 5.00 I think. Its not like they only sell to single people. They most likely sold many more to magic shops on this second print.

Chris,
What is your local magic shop called? I'm curious because I live near Kansas City too.

With Penguins 10% discount, it's still cheaper to buy 3 cases at Penguin than the special "buy 2 cases, get one free" offer at Ellusionist. Plus with the free shipping, I may pick up a few cases.

I've only seen pictures of these cards--are there lots of tricks that strike people as better with them?or maybe some tricks that can only be done with those cards? If that's a stupid question, I apologize in advance, but I'm very late to the Black Tiger Deck party, it looks like.

Black Tiger Decks give a wallop for every card performer because the look is so attention grabbing mostly to a layman.
