Dan & Dave’s iconic line of playing cards, redesigned by dealersgrip.

“The First Human” emerges as an abstract continuation of the Smoke & Mirror series. This red edition introduces striking visuals and dualistic ideas of human versus machine while accelerating the warm aura first established with v6 Rouge (2011).

What does it mean to be a human cardist? Playing cards are fine-tuned to the anatomy of the human hand. Cultural significance and symbols are scattered throughout the courts, pips and numbers. Revisiting these seemingly obvious facts — and either embracing or challenging them — may lead us to better understand the current state and future potential of our art form.

Printed by the United States Playing Card Co. on our propriety Crushed Stock using vibrant Pantone colors and detailed imagery. Packaged inside a matte red tuck box enclosure with intricate preview windows and silver foil.

Edition of 2500 split between dealersgrip and Dan and Dave. One thousand one hundred fifty individual decks and 100 Gilded Twin Packs are being offered for sale here.

We proudly present to you the second installment of the Mirz Playing Cards, a partnership with Hope for Justice. When you support this project, you are also raising your voice to those who don't have a voice. After kickstarter, all proceeds will go to fight human trafficking.

This edition will be printed with The United States Playing Card Company. The faces will be USPC standard, but will have pixilated Queens faces, custom Jokers, and two custom ad cards.

Like our first edition, these cards will be traditionally cut and made of crushed stock to the thinnest caliber range for the smoothest handling for magicians and cardists alike. The deck will also have an air-cushioned finish.

The pattern on the card back is the logo of our partnership with Hope For Justice, a non-profit that is dedicated to ending human trafficking. The custom Joker also features a dove. Dove releases have been around for thousands of years and many different cultures see a dove release as symbol of peace, love, innocence and freedom.

We brought back the same designer from the first edition deck, Aaron Dickey. We went back and forth on every little detail, and wanted the best possible product to put into this world. The tuck box is matte black with a dark red foil. Nothing is printed on the box, just the foil. The front has the unlocked lock and the back has the Hope For Justice dove logo. Whenever Hope For Justice saves someone out of human trafficking, they put an unlocked lock on their wall.
