Re: 1919 Eclipse Playing Cards: Coming Soon to Kickstarter

I received my MPC prototype today. This is only a test to see what the back design looked like in action and I am extremely happy. To me, it carries the appeal of decks like Bee's with the repeating pattern but has elements of classic casino playing cards, with the reflective, hour-glass like shape ...

Re: 1919 Eclipse Playing Cards: Coming Soon to Kickstarter

The second color and stretch goal will be called 1919 Eclipse "Solis" Edition. I debated on various color ways and colors related to the sun. Yellow is just not an attractive color to me and we have a lot of red decks already. This pantone of orange is called "Sun Orange," so it ...

Re: 1919 Eclipse Playing Cards: Coming Soon to Kickstarter

Hey guys, I am going to definitely look into it all. I just can't get a response back from either USPCC or Cartamundi via Email so I will be making some phone calls soon. I also want to do another color as a stretch goal. What else do people like best these days from Playing Card campaigns? Uncut sh...

Re: 1919 Eclipse Playing Cards: Coming Soon to Kickstarter

Great to see you back! I really like the look here, standard courts notwithstanding. As long as the price isn't too exorbitant, I'll be picking up a few. :-) Thank you! I am really hoping to keep the prices as low as possible. I know for me that soon as I see a deck that is $14+ a deck, I pretty mu...

1919 Eclipse Playing Cards: Coming Soon to Kickstarter

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted here in a long time. I am primarily a magician, more so than a card collector anymore, but I have always wanted to design my own custom deck of playing cards. I had attempted a design before, but never followed through with it. It was uninspired and I was trying to fit ...

I got mine as well. The artwork is fantastic, but I won't support him ever again. Such a bummer. I wish he would come out with it and admit he only shipped them because he wanted to avoid being sued!

Re: Madison Blanks

You gotta give them props for marketing. The inside of the tuck should say "You are a moron." If they just added blank decks to the site I can see the use, but all the hype for this is pretty hilarious. I wish I could see their sales records on this!

Kind of strange how Ellusionist buyers received their decks first, but the people who actually funded the whole damn thing still don't have decks.

^Finally some real talk on this subject... The whole "Poor Erik" act is old and done. I just want my money back at this point. I don't even care about the decks anymore. I hope our money was really put to some good use and for a good cause and not just some frivolous spending.

David Blaine Red "Blacklions"

These drop on Saturday and are $6 through Valentines Day. Personally, I love these cards and if you actually use them, $6 is a good deal for a quality deck. I think the Red may end up being my favorite color way. The blues are great.

Well, what do you know. I got home tonight to my box of Blue, Blacklions. The shipping number they sent me was incorrect... I guess in reality that wasn't bad timing. Maybe just bad organization? Anyways, these are pretty and at six bucks I can't complain.
