Marchen Schwarzwald

Forge Arts // 2017

This dark green tuck box stands for Germany’s enchanted forests, home to wolves and devils, ghostly maidens and slumbering heroes, hidden caves and long-forgotten treasures. Even by day you are warned not to venture too deep into the beech and thick pine, lest you never find your way to the safety of the road again. But only the most reckless venture into the forest at night, for there witches and demons mete out fates far worse than a simple death…

Marchen Hamelin

Forge Arts // 2017

This cream-colored tuck box represents Germany’s majestic castles, towns, and villages. From the mightiest keep to the lowliest inn, they serve as centers of civilization and culture, safe havens from the terrors of the forest. But even here you may round a corner and suddenly hear the distant song of Lorelei or the haunting pipes of the Pied Piper, tugging you back toward the wilderness, back into the shadows…

Cartomancer

Alain Benoit // 2018

Full deck scan by macstrat @ https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/559-cartomancer

The inspiration behind my project. Tarot; French cartomancy; transformation deck; analytical psychology; art; surrealism; symbolism; fingerprints; vintage prints; and illustrations (to name only a few.)

Diamond: Sensation, perception with our senses, childhood and earth.

Spade: Thinking, becoming part of society, early adulthood and air.

Heart: Intuition, abundance and fertility, midlife and water.

Club: Feeling, knowing without reasoning, late adulthood and fire.

Why is this deck unique? Each card tells a story. The whole deck paints the landscape of our lives with vintage engravings and prints—the ideal synergy between significance and design in a pack of cards. There is nothing like it out there—that’s why I’m doing it!

Cartomancy, divination? Yes, of course! The Cartomancer Poker Deck uses the existing structure of a standard deck of cards as a canvas for a new insightful cartomancy system. ALL the cards feature universal archetypes and symbols making it a very instinctive tool for divination. But if you're not into this, you will still enjoy the deck for its beauty and uniqueness.

The deck also was shipped with a 32 page companion booklet the size of the box, containing an introduction to the deck, keyword meanings for each card, and ideas for divination.

REGALIA WHITE

Shin Lim Magic // 2018

The second edition to the Regalia Playing Cards series. From the creative mind of Shin Lim and printed in Belgium by Cartamundi, comes a one of a kind deck which was first introduced last year with an overwhelmingly positive response. The box is made from two protective pearlized white casings, with an inner and outer cellophane wrap. These individually gold foiled cards are sealed to withstand any extreme heat or humidity during shipment. Our priority for the Regalia series has always been quality. Each card has been carefully hot stamped with gold foil and then protected with a true B9 finish, thus to not compromise the feel and fluidity with each shuffle or flourish. Created for the magician in mind, every card in the deck has been designed to look standard(with the exception of the Jokers and Ace of Spades). Subtle changes however has been added to the court and number cards. Such as minor details like the stem of the spade, to the borders of the face cards. Each small alteration gives a sense of elegance everytime you open the deck. Inspired by Russian art and specifically from the paintings on the walls of the historic Hermitage museum, the regalia back design is a perfect balance of complexity and minimalism.

Regalia

Shin Lim Magic // 2017

"Regalia is a symbol of excellence, prestige, and innovation. The moment your audience gazes at each individual gold-foiled card, they'll know they're about to witness something spectacular. Each card is crafted with the finest crushed linen paper found in Belgium. And the gold foil was developed and produced in-house to the most exacting standards by Cartamundi. "And now the box - it's a revolutionary two-layer case, featuring both a luxurious appeal as well as double-layer protection for the cards. Covered in gold embossed foil, this box is in perfect harmony to the prestigious cards. "And while this is absolutely not how I speak in real life, I just wanted to write something fancy for the ad copy. This is seriously an amazing deck of cards. They feel great in the hands and yes, they Faro shuffle perfectly. I present to you Regalia Playing Cards, printed by Cartamundi, designed by Nick Vlow, and produced by yours truly."
