Their second deck

Who the f^&* buys this s^&*?

Such an easy no with that "logo" on the back.

Aside from the logo (which I agree is horrendous) I actually like it, especially the textured pips. But not enough to buy it.

That's exactly my problem. The pips are nice, and the deck is nice overall, but that logo pisses me right off. It completely ruins the deck for me.

I wish Max's Bicycle Marble decks were funded, they looked very nice.

This deck is 7/10. It doesn't make the cut because of back design and color scheme.

Completely agree with this. It was a shame his campaign didn’t reach its goal.

Man I had this vision of a marble back deck that looks like real marble stone. It’d be a cool deck. Unfortunately not feeling this design. Good luck to the them though.

Okay, I would like to have an explanation : Why this deck is so succesful ? What's so new/unique/artistic about it ?

Thanks

Good questions.

It's not even close to as good as your artwork.

[maxs]

I think this primarily targets the Cardistry Community and they seem to like it, and it‘s quite cheap.
Different strokes for different folks.

[Kardeck]

My answer is not negative or mean, it's because I really don't understand how it can be so successful.
Is that because it's a special paper, or a special finish for cardistry trick ? My Question is honest, I don't want to troll or anything and I recognize the work and the success of this Deck

[maxs]

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.

[Bradius]

When I saw this, I cried a bit too that Max’s Marble deck didn’t make it. But, that was a collector deck rather than a cardistry deck. Plus he ran it when everybody was tapped out. I would say it is getting hard to run playing cards on Kickstarter, but look at Alex’s campaign and The Name of the Wind art deck. It is possible to raise a ton under the right conditions with really good stuff.

Unfortunately it did not fund.

I think the Name of the wind is a completely different story. It's a great book (that came out around 5 years ago, maybe more) and everybody who liked it is eagerly waiting for the third (and last) volume.
The book has been sold worldwide and has sold A LOT!!!

Lot's of fans of the book bought the decks and there were several different decks and addons, prizes, it was a very professional (and big) team.

More decks helps higher funding because it means higher pledges and shipping is divided by several decks and seems less expensive.

Alex's campaign was very well planned and executed, 4 different decks, cabinets, coins, long campaign, proven artist...

Why Rick Davidson's campaigns don't reach those numbers is a mystery to me. In my opinion he is one of the best, I love all his decks, in some of them I can almost feel the emotion in the faces of the cards.
Go figure...

Okay, I know that I don't have the same experience like many members here and my question seems silly but ...

This kind of Deck can succeed in Kickstarter while court faces are from shutterstock ? It says "100% Custom Design" in the campaign ...

Please explain me If I don't understand, do you consider it as normal ? Are "creators" used to make something like this ?

I'm new here so I just want to know please ...

Thank You

The thing is, the people buying decks of playing cards are made up of several different "markets"; collectors, cardists, magicians etc. I'm pretty sure that the collectors are fewer than the cardists, and so if the deck or creator is popular in cardistry circles, it has a higher potential to do well than a deck aimed at collectors (not counting popularity in other groups or the general public).

[Kardeck]

So, this is a market where I can buy a 100$ shutterstock image, twist it a little bit, and raise 10 000$ within two weeks ?

If you're a well-established cardist with 14k instagram followers, then maybe.

[Bradius]

There are some older threads where some creators have explained the finances. However, after you pay Kickstarter, Backerkit (if you use it) card fees, printing ( design if you hire a good artist), shipping, fulfillment, taxes, etc... You don’t make much. Often they mainly get some surplus decks they can sell.

[shunterino]

There's a new version on KS for this deck. Same as this one but red.

This deck is the result of hundreds of ideas thrown away and months of trying to answer the same question: What would be the best deck I can create?

I wanted something unique.

Exactly the same, but red.

[GandalfPC]

Technically unique being a different color, and not for me in any color, but if his fans like it I won’t stand in their way…

(I do imagine he only uses unique to describe the original design and just carried it forward of course - but even I couldn’t avoid a quick jibe at a new colorway carrying the moniker)

[shunterino]

Took him months though. Hundreds of ideas just thrown out.

Anyway, it's already funded. I own the green version (I like to collect different stocks and finishes) but I see no point in getting the new ones. Looks like even the courts are standard colours this time. Just lazy.
