Thanks very much, Rich! Will continue working on the design.

99% was not literal. I wanted to say that the majority use bikes. That is not to say that people don't use custom decks, otherwise e and t11 wouldn't exist. I don't have the numbers, but I'm willing to bet that a large majority of their sales are driven through their custom decks, since in other cat...

Hi sinjin, I'm not well-versed in the world of kickstarter card design but let me offer my thoughts - "I never bought that argument that standard courts on custom decks somehow alleviate suspicion." Sadly this is just not true. An overwhelming majority of magicians absolutely do NOT use an...

Hi, I'm working on a deck design right now and I'd love if you guys could give me any feedback. I know this forum is mostly for custom decks with intricate artwork and completely altered cards which is not what I'm doing but hopefully you folks can spot any general inconsistencies or other issues th...

Thanks everyone for their replies. Yes, I came into this with thick skin. I'm here to make a good product worth buying, not here to have people stroke me. I am new to all this and that is a position I must understand if I want to move forward. I appreciate and take heed of all advice and criticisms....

Hi guys, I have a concept for a custom deck. The quality is low - I am not a designer and these are concepts, not final art. But I am quite satisfied with them. I would appreciate it if you guys could give the cards a quick look. I would like to collect feedback, make appropriate changes and then se...

Regarding the queen, the middle/transition obviously needs some work, because in the example, it's shifted. The "Q" is hard to read and in a different colour than the pip. This is NOT good on both counts. A queen without eyes, sleeping or not, is distracting. The colour scheme you've chos...

I think you're right, and I would assume that an unmarked deck would be the safest bet as a first edition. Then perhaps you could print a marked second edition at a later time, if the first deck is successful. I also agree with TG that price is a big factor when it comes to magicians' work decks. I...

Appreciate your replies very much guys! Any workhorse deck will generally be a cheap deck, ergo Riderbacks. It fulfills the necessary "requirements" of cheap, standard faces and it's familiar. I think the RAVN decks are fantastic, because they have nicer, but standard looking faces and a c...

Hi everybody, this is my first post here and I hope I'm writing in the correct section. I'm working on designing a deck which I hope to crowdfund. Fans of card magic are my target audience for this deck. I hope it will be a regularly used "workhorse" deck, not an art/collectors deck. To th...
