Funded as a Kickstarter project on September 25, 2014 with $29,091 pledged from 722 backers, this was a single deck also available in uncut form with a number of art related add ons. Designed by Emmanuel Jose as his third semi-transformation deck, it features a circus theme with all original artwork cut by hand out of paper with a scissors. This USPCC printed deck features 54 fully custom cards (including 2 jokers) and the custom back in a semi-transformation style. Every element of this breathtaking deck was created entirely by hand, he did not use digital software, or pen and ink. Every design was painstakingly crafted out of paper. Emmanuel created 1 card per week for an entire year to finish the complete deck! The back design was created to appear like an admission ticket to the circus. The entire deck has a black, white, and red color scheme, which extends to the striking tuck box. This PCDB Entry is for the deck itself. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/emmanueljose/sawdust-circus-playing-card-deck-uspcc-printed http://emmanueljose.com/ Sawdust also won the Best Uncut Sheet award from UnitedCardists 2014 Deck of the Year http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6448
