The Luxury Deck – Smoke and Mirrors V3 by Dan and Dave
Posted on: November 1, 2009A new brand of cards illustrated by renowned artist Si Scott in association with Dan & Dave. Engineered with the highest quality stock and finish available and manufactured with the US Playing Card Companies latest printing technology.
Interest in the decks has been unrivaled since word first emerged of their existence. The First Editions & Second Editions sold out almost immediately after their release. All of the artwork was illustrated by hand in pen and ink. Smoke decks are white; Mirrors are black. Both decks feature a custom designed Box, Ace of Spades, Joker and simplified renderings of the Jacks, Queens, and Kings. The Mirror Deck comes with an inverted Ace of Spades.
elegant • refined • modern
From the intricacy of the design to the feel, finish, and quality, Smoke & Mirrors is a case study in attention to detail. The feel and finish is flawless – printed on premium Aristocrat quality stock. The result is an artistic expression of royalty: a true luxury deck.

Whats the difference between all the versions? Is this one any special other than their limited quality?

The back design is different in every edition, this is the one i like the most :)

I prefer the 2nd edition though, wish they have the white border for the Mirror deck

the Mirror deck looks so much better black…but knowing how the first 2 editions were….these are going to be nothing short of amazing

The Mirror looks absolutely stunning in this version!
I’ve ordered 6 of each :-)

I love S&M. But personally, I think that Mirrors back were better with white edges. I think that a deck of cards have to be the same colour in edges that have on the face cards. If the cards are white, the edges have to be white too. I think the same about Massa. (BUT IT’S MY OPINION)
So my order of preference:
- 1st edition (the best)
- this 3rd edition: great too, but, as i said, the mirrors deck… :(
- 2nd edition: for me, an overloaded design
Take care,
Miquel

they look really pretty, and I think the mirrors look much better. the first and second edition of mirrors doesn’t look nice to me. I’d prefer these.

I like these better than arcanes. Unfortunatly arcanes have one-way backs, and that bothers me for some reason.. These would be better for manipulation and i like the more simple design. Going full black on the mirrors was a unique idea, i sorta like them. But a bit of advice: if you like cardistry more than magic, spend your money on these instead of arcanes.
