Mirage Playing Cards by Patrick Kun

[Marcus]

Haven't spotted a thread for this yet, so I might as well start one. Patrick Kun is working on a new deck of playing cards called Mirage. Not much info about it yet other than these two pictures and that he'll probably do a Kickstarter campaign with them.

(For those unfamiliar with Patrick, he's a magician, cardist and designer who's consulted for among others Copperfield and Cyril Takayama.)

Looks good. From what I can tell from his instagram account, the back design looks really nice in motion, especially in spins.

I like the back- very sleek. If the rest of the deck and tuck follows suit, I'll want some.

Just spoke to Patrick. He's awaiting quotes and other info from both USPCC and EPCC, It's still in pre-production and he's aiming for a launch before the end of the year. As for the faces of the cards, they'll most likely be close to the originals but slightly modified.

These took a bit longer than planned, but it's looking like a release will be here at the end of August. Over the last year the deck has gone through some slight changes as well. I don't know about you guys, but I really like the design and color choice here.

The design is nice, but I only see color on the tuck. Hopefully that's one of the things they've changed.

From what I understand the color in the prototype pictures are not the same as the real print-run will have. In other words I'm quite certain that the deck will match the color of the tuck above.
