- What a ride.
- Ship levels are phenomenal.
- Oh, thanks ACE.
- And might I add sir,
congratulations on another successful launch.
- Oh, thanks. V4 was a heck of a journey, wasn't it?
- Indeed it was. And affordable too.
- Yeah, cutting the unnecessary bells
and whistles helped us keep the cost of production low
and anything that makes it this far into space,
needs only the minimum amount to function properly.
Ace, could you pull up the Tuck case?
- Which one?
- Both. Ah, would you look at those beauties.
IST really came out nice, didn't it?
How are the backs looking?
- My favorite by far, sir.
- Oh good to hear, I think so too.
Standard simplicity is key for performance.
Don't want to arouse too much suspicion from onlookers.
- Agreed.
- You think people will enjoy the court cards?
- What's not to love?
- Actually got the uniforms, is necessary
for the launch, but I'm glad it turned out.
- Sir!
- Yes Ace.
- I am detecting a malfunction on the extra card.
It seems to be stuck in some type of war.
- Oh weird.
It must've happened during our jump to hyperspace.
I suppose we'll find some use for it.
How are the jokers looking?
- Just as we planned?
- Brilliant. Haters will say we got this idea from a carpet.
- Production was indeed launched months
before the carpet, sir.
- I know Ace, no need to be insecure.
- No offense taken.
- Oh. Would you look at that Ace?
- Look at what sir?
- No, not you. The card.
She's everything we thought she would be.
Well Ace, time for a well-deserved nap.
- You've earned it sir.
- Thank you. Wake me up when we get to where we're going.
- Sweet dreams, sir.
- Sweet dreams Ace.
Hey, what's up? Oh
I think we're losing power here.
I want to say that, first of all,
that was a lot of work, but it was fun to shoot.
I hope you guys enjoyed that,
that was a new way
for me to review the cards and to show them off, I thought,
Hey, why not?
But I did want to come on here
and give you guys some more information about the launch.
Obviously, a lot
of you I know are probably on the site right now
and watching this after they've purchased a
so here's some FAQ's that you might have about the cards.
So first of all, let's talk about the price.
I basically put all of the costs way down
that included,
like we didn't go with a special material on the tuck case.
We didn't get it crazy and bossing
and gold foil on the cards or the card case.
I didn't print on the inside of the card case.
And these were all decisions made for two reasons.
One, because it definitely drives the cost way down
for you guys.
I wanted to make a deck that was affordable for all.
So if you chose to buy more than one,
you wouldn't feel bad about opening one of the boxes
and two because it sort of falls into this theme
that I'm going with in which this deck,
I feel like if it were brought into space,
this is what it would look like.
It would be simple.
There would be no extra things that don't need to be there
because everything that goes into space has
to be a certain way for a certain reason.
And the bare minimum is all that is needed and required.
If I look tired right now is because I am.
I've been working nonstop
for the past few weeks getting this ready and so much more.
Next up, they come into mnemonica stack.
So as with all my decks for magician.
So they're not shuffled if you get the deck
and you think they're shuffled, they're not shuffled.
That's the way they're supposed to be.
There's no duplicate this time around.
We have a blank card instead
and we have a gaff card
and I'm going to be teaching a routine using
that gaff cards.
Some of you may have seen
that gaff in a deck called that I did a while back
but essentially it is a color changing card,
in a spectator's hand,
but the card doesn't change all the way
but obviously feel free
to use that card any which way you see fit.
Aside from that the deck is crushed stock,
magician stock, magician finished,
so it'll feel like any top of the line deck out there.
We spared no expense when it came
to the quality of the cards themselves.
The only expenses spared were really on the gold foil
and the tuck case.
Which is crazy how much it brought that price down.
And I'm so happy to be able to provide
to you not only a $10 deck
but if you buy a brick, they are $110,
so you do save $10 by the dozen.
I will also not be signing any decks this time round
due to COVID.
When we had these ships, it was a weird time.
You gotta understand for signing anything and
and touching anything with your hands.
And so COVID did not permit that at that time.
I don't know where it stands now
but that's just the decision we had to make.
So hopefully the lower price makes up for it.
There are also uncut sheets available on the website.
I only have 50 of each. Those will go pretty quickly.
As for the quantity of the cards.
There's quite a lot printed.
I don't think we'll be running out anytime soon.
I hope not. I mean, if we did it, wouldn't be a bad thing
but I also want everybody to get a deck.
And if you're on the site right now you also noticed
that V3s are still available.
So we didn't sell out of all the V3s.
We still have some left, including signed decks
that come with the brick and including a few uncut sheets.
So these will be shipping out
of San Diego out of Art Of Place.
So the shipping costs might be a lot lower
than usual on ist.shop.
That's because they're not shipping out of Canada.
What else? I mean, if you order six decks of each,
I'm not sure you're going to get a brick box.
Then again, you might, I don't know which color you'll get
but we do have an option on the site
to buy brick boxes individually.
In that case, you will receive a brick box.
Anything else? I think that's it.
Guys thank you so much for your support.
It is almost 10 at night.
This is the day before the launch.
I just finished editing what you just saw
and I've been working my butt off
and I really hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do.
I've been playing with them to here look,
we've got all these decks that we use
to shoot at the office here.
Hope you guys enjoy this.
This is a labor of love.
I enjoy doing this for you
and can't wait to see your pictures on Instagram.
Definitely tag us @1st.shop.
Oh, also please allow two to three weeks for processing.
This is with every launch regardless of COVID,
regardless of Christmas.
I mean on top of COVID and Christmas, but also just the fact
that there will be like an extreme volume of sales.
And so we only have so many people in
that warehouse shipping those out.
So please be patient and please be kind with them.
But as soon as it does ship out, I will let you know.
Again follow me @ist.shop.
I will give you all the updates
to the playing card shipments
and everything else and fulfillments and everything else.
And if you, if you have any concerns with your order,
you can hit up our support team.
We're trying our best to answer every email.
I think that's about it.
This is I've rambled on long enough guys.
If you like what we do here,
I mean do whatever you feel like doing.
I appreciate you regardless.
And we'll see you on the next video.
Peace.
