Re: Tally-Ho Cardistry Con 2018

I just bought some from Magic Square, a Hong Kong based magic shop. Unfortunately you cannot buy them in their webshop but you can send a message on Instagram and they invoice you via paypal. https://www.instagram.com/magic_square_hk/ It‘s 6.50USD and shipping to Germany was 10.50USD for 4 decks.

IMO if you are able to work on a new project and tease it on social media platforms, you should be able to give an update on your pending projects. Even if it's reporting a delay. (E.g, I'm st...

Re: Papercuts by Art of Play

For this deck (and only from what I can see, which isn't much), it'll be hard to appreciate the immense amount of painstakingly time and work put into making these intricate paper cut motifs if it only appears to be a detailed fine line drawing... it's definitely a new idea, but I'll be interested ...

You can use the kickup tag/shortcode in the post editor. It adds a nice kickstarter info element and a kicktraq info as well. You just have to put the URL of the project between the kickstarter tags.

Re: Juggler MARBLE Ed. Playing Cards live on KS

There is no easy answer but I guess it helps to build a reputation amongst the cardistry community, have a continous Social Media output (this guy has more than 6k followers on Instagram) by teasing your work and then sell it for a good price.

At least they say it‘s inspired by Vasarely while the Stripe deck is actually Vasarely‘s artwork without giving any credit.

VIRSTRETTA Playing Cards

Not a new deck, but just purchased a couple of these and couldn‘t find any info here on UC.
They are designed by a cardist called Michael James and seemed to be part of a cardistry project that was never released (?). They were made by Legends PPC.

Re: RADIA, The Spiritual Successor to AURUM by Encarded

It does not matter. You can apply this foil on any area - 100% or 1%. It can be any shape. Printing is optional. But instead of printing you can apply different foils one by one using a flexo machine. This setup is more complicated. Most modern presses can only use one base foil and then tint it (o...

Re: RADIA, The Spiritual Successor to AURUM by Encarded

The name of this process - cold foil. When you see foil on cards it's cold foil. Why? You cannot use hot foil on presure sensitive materials. Also it is hard (almost impossible) to apply more than 3 foil colors due to registration and quality problems. I think it's not the first EPCC's deck with co...

I guess the feature is printing on foil and having a fully foiled back compared to partially applied foil on the backs. I think they didn't mention that on Kardify.
