The back design features isometric forms that interact and intertwine to create a complex, yet understated design.
Selected shapes contain a gradient color that has been chosen specifically to produce unique patterns when spinning, add visual elements in fans and create more motion in cuts.
A secondary pink and blue border allows thin borders to be maintained while the edges of packets remain distinct. This ensures that fans are clear and your cuts are easy to follow.
One of the stand out features of the deck's design is the unique face cards which have been created from scratch. This includes the design of:
Index Font
Suit Symbols
Symbol Placement/Orientation
Court Cards
New, Innovative Elements designed to enhance the look of cardistry.
How the face cards will improve the look of your cardistry:
Larger index corners allow more detail to be visible in fans.
The colored line below the index form a unique pattern in fans, making them more visually appealing.
A small color palette in the form of a line is present at the top and bottom of the cards, which also add another line of detail in fans and spreads such as a riffle and flower fans.
The placement of symbols have also been experimented with so that the design of the cards are more symmetrical and to provide less unbalanced negative space.
All of these elements also work together to create an ‘implied border’ which makes each packet more distinct in cuts when viewed from the face side. The extensive amount of elements also emphasize movement in cuts.
The court cards contain the same use of line present throughout the design to allow the courts fit seamlessly into the rest of the deck. Six unique court cards have been created, and every card has different placement of colored line.
The tuck box features isometric pattern wrapping around the entire box, around all the sides and even from the back over the top to the front. These patterns seamlessly continue on from a slightly modified depiction of the back design. The look of the back design is featured throughout, with the inclusion of the same colored shapes positioned of the front of the box.
Created by cardist Ethan King from the ground up specifically for cardistry, the whole point of this deck is to create designs that look appealing in cardistry moves.
Gray is the main colour used, but I especially love the fact that selected lines have been given a pink or blue gradient colour, which amplifies the visual impact of the card backs when in motion during cardistry moves. Similarly for the faces, instead of red and black, the deck opts for a more a consistent pastel colour scheme, and selected pips have been coloured with a blue and pink gradient to help them stand out from the surrounding grey.
The entirety of the faces has been subject to a redesign, by eliminating some of the usual negative space. It's clear that a huge amount of thought has gone into every single aspect of this deck's design, and every design decision has been percolated through the mind of an experienced cardist, with cardistry in mind.
