UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Hi everyone, I've started making my fourth papercut transformation deck, and this year's theme is all about food and eating/drinking. The deck is called Delicious.

Yes, it is true.... I am *actually* drooling...

I would've thought I'd get bored with these after 3 decks.

...I thought wrong

Thanks! I'm glad you're not getting bored

Had these been made by a lesser artist, I probably would have. But you seem to have a knack for transformation decks

I honestly didn't like transformation decks at all until I saw Curator. Everything that's followed has only make me like them more, and Emmanuel is by far head and shoulders above any other deck of that type imo. Looking forward to seeing this deck's progress as well.

Damn man. Seriously how do you keep topping yourself? This looks like its going to be insane!

Thank you everyone! I love transformation decks, and I'm happy to share my love for them

Finally got around to looking around the other areas of the forum, and here I find one of my top 3 deck designers at it again.
...you magnificent bastard.

Haha, thank you, Sharpie!

Emmanuel, you are at it again! Man I love it! The cookie is great! I cant wait to see more.

Very nice, Emmanuel. How large do you make the physical cards when you cut?

Thank you so much, Justin and Patrick! Patrick, the cards are 24 inches tall and 17.125 (17 and an eighth) inches wide.

I really love the variety in the Curator deck, but the themed decks can be neat too. I'm already in for the wings and was planning on sawdust too, and now this? It's great work and will be a must buy for me. The cookie is my favorite in that set. Excellent work as always!

Any plans for the back design yet?

Thank you ecNate! I'm playing around with some ideas for the back design, which I'll make in December.

Here's the rest of the Spades cards:

You've outdone yourself, Emmanuel! This is just masterful!

Love how those courts blend with each other

Emmanuel I have to give you mad props on your decks, you come up with the most interesting "Scenarios", I say scenarios because they aren't just random images. They make sense and the way you incorporate the "Classic" layout intot the cards is just great.......I love the Spade "Frosting" on the 9.....just fantastic!!

I really love the courts "side by side" effect !

Crazy and fabulous work do a master class deck !

Thank you! I don't know yet if I'm going to do the same thing with the other courts in this series, but I have a lot of fun thinking up scenarios and stories

You definitely should ! Haha you should have the middle 6 courts do one huge one !

I'll definitely consider it! I know what the other 9 courts are, but the problem is, they're not as contextually-related like the bus boy, waitress, and chef are.

Haha throw us the concept ! 100 brains here are better than 1 you know !

i ordered your current bird themed deck on kickstarted and guess i will now get Delicious since my guy is a foodie who loves poker! Are you having IHOPC work on this deck too?

Hi Ginja, sorry I didn't see your post until now. Thank you very much for your support of Clipped Wings!

Only the Curator deck was produced and distributed by HOPC. Every transformation deck made after Curator will be self-produced.

I've got 2: Picked up the v2 "Curator" uncut on the final day of the project: sweet - you just can't buy one of the original 40 from v1...

i really like in these latest courts on your website, how you are playing around with the mirrored image, so that they both capture a different moment in telling the delicious story
