Beauties, I wanna tell you how I feel right now. Designing cards became a full time job for me. It’s great if you can do what you love and getting paid for it. But I’m so incredible tired of all these dumb ass people out there - sorry for my wording.
At the end of 2019 I wanted to stop designing cards. Not forever, but I knew I need a break. It’s exhausting. But then the Remedies deck was born. This deck gave Madison and myself so much new energy.
Right now, my energy level is pretty much at zero again. I'm glad that the se...

Beauties, the new Remedies are finished by the end of this month. We aim for a very short pre-order for maybe one week so that nobody has to wait too long.
At the beginning of this year Covid crossed our plans and slowed down shipping. But Murphy's Magic is better prepared now and there won't be any major delays in fulfillment.
Remedies V2 features:
• New color
• Tuck box with Air-Cushion Finish
• Completely new courts (I used my redrawn files)
• Redesigned Queen of Diamonds
• Redesigned Queen of ...

Beauties, I thought a red color for the Hearts and Diamonds wouldn't fit, but a few days ago I added this darker (Remedies) red to the red suits and it fits perfectly. I really couldn't be happier with the result.
This deck will be the first completely marked Black Roses deck in this series. Printed by USPCC on premium thin crushed paper stock. The first quarter of 2021 is a realistic time frame.
"Purple Rain Edition" is my working title. But since I don't want to be sued for the rest of my life, the finished deck will have a dif...

Beauties, there are a few little details on the Hanson Chien tuck that I wanna share with you.
You know that a lot tuck boxes from Taiwan have this vertical tuck with this huge flap where the box only gets glued together on the sides. Hanson Chien tried to create a tuck box in the same shape like the USPCC tuck because that's wha...

I've received this email from the printing company about the Innocence reprint:
"Prepress is working on this and wanted to know – what changed on the faces since last time? Did only the courts change?
If we can pick up the A-10 or more from the previous run that will save them a lot of time. Can you maybe tell me which cards have changed since last print?"
You know I put a lot time into every little detail. And it looks like that the redesigns in the new Innocence deck are so small that not even the prepress co...

The idea to print my very first Black Roses deck with all three most relevant playing card factories is stuck in my head for a while now. A few days ago I found out that I'm not the first one with this idea. In fact at least one person already did this with their own deck. But it's also a great idea.
Last year I printed 500 Black Roses decks with Cartamundi. So only the factory in Taiwan is missing now. I already worked with Hanson Chien in the past and I can only talk positive about his work. That's why I've chosen his company to repr...

I recently talked to Lee Asher and his exact words were: "you've made my day knowing someone is playing with Dondorf art". Of course, since he is a living library when it comes to playing cards I shouldn't be surprised that he knows so much about Dondorf Playing Cards.
It must be something between my own selfishness or OCD but I don't want to print one of my own decks without myself as the King of Diamonds. But I also didn't want to replace the original artwork so the only option is to add one extra King of Diamonds to the deck (again...

This is Muffin. Muffin is a Shih Tzu Pekinese. She had her first appearance two years ago well hidden in the Innocence Playing Cards. Since then I'm playing with the idea to design a whole deck for her. Today I designed the tuck box.

Beauties, I have a few news about the Innocence rerelease.
I updated all face cards. Still the same design but everything will look much cleaner. Only the double backer and the Jokers remain the same.
USPCC is going to print the matte tuck boxes through the Clove St Press on "Radiant White Smooth Cover" paper. $1.20 more per tuck box which makes the whole deck so much more expensive in production. But I know it will be worth it.
Murphy's Magic who warned me about white matte tucks showed me an image of a Bicycle deck with a m...

Beauties, I've been working for the last three days to present you the Black Roses Hotel / Casino Kickstarter campaign. It took me one day to create renders that I discarded at the end of the day because they didn't look inviting enough. But I'm pretty happy with the result right now.

I've never worked on the new Orbits for so long. We already started to collect the first ideas in the process of the V7 design. I even deleted the very first design to create something better and I designed this Parallel Edition on top. There is still so much to do but at least I know you'll love them. I would like to show you so much more but I also know Chris wants to keep everything as secret as possible until the big reveal.

Beauties, I want to bring back the Innocence decks with a matte tuck box. Straight to my website - no crowdfunding.
In 2018 I already printed 2500 Innocence decks. The deck sold out pretty fast and I was torn over whether to reprint them or not.
For me the Innocence Playing Cards are very close to my heart and I didn't like the fact that a reprint feels so much like a cash grab. Of course we all have to make a living but if I put money before my art then all my work would lose its soul.
The fact that the deck was limited t...

I can't tell you how happy I am with the second gaff card in the Black Roses Supporter Edition. The idea isn't new but it's still such a refreshing illusion compared to all the other "standard magic" tricks.
Imagine this: a selected card goes back into the deck. You move your hand over the deck to let the magic happen. After that you spread the deck in your hands. The spectator sees that one card has shrunk. You turn the card around to show that it is really the selected card. You take the card out of the deck and in that moment, in ju...

In 1918/1919 they sold over 9 million decks (!) and it seems like nobody really knows a lot about them anymore.

There will be also a new and limited Casino deck that comes with the Black Roses Hotel deck. While I want to keep the Hotel deck in pastel colors, the Casino decks are characterized by their darker tones. A beautiful contrast that clearly separates both deck ideas even though they have the same back design. The Casino deck will have a slightly d...

Imagine this: the spectator selects a card and signs it on the face.
You place the card onto top of your deck and with your other hand you rub the top signature off.
The spectator can see that the signature really isn't there anymore.
You say the signature isn't really gone. You just pushed it through the other side. Slowly you turn the card over and the spectator sees the signature above their own name.
You hand the card out as a souvenir and you disappear like a real magician. 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐸𝓃𝒹 .

A special deck where I also wanted special courts. Same reason why they are in this deck again. There is no JH because no other card would fit in there.

It is a bit complicated because of a few things.
