UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

I have seen them being used for magic tricks but not very often. There is like not much you can do with mini, micro or jumbo decks besides deck switches and pretend to shrink or grow the size of the deck/cards .

Is that hot foil?

It’s Lotrek, you’re goddamn right it is. Alright I’m back in

Anyone care to give the old preview KS page a gander? Any corrections and/or feedback welcome. PROJECT IMAGE AND PHOTOS are placeholders -- they are old artwork. New artwork --including pictures of the tuck boxes-- will be added soon.

The link does not work. Just resolves to the main KS page.

TGW just did a review of the Charmers deck. In the video he hints* on decks probably printed by 2 different companies. Similar to Charmers... these were printed by Cartamundi (cold foil) and Lotrek's own company (hot foil).

Sorry wrong link! Here it is:

What's the difference between cold foil and hot foil?

Three comments:

1. Doesn’t make sense that midnight edition needs to be unlocked (150%), if there are pledge tiers offering only midnight editions on the outset. If you prefer it to be unlocked, then it is better to remove these tiers upfront and only make them available later. But that’s just a hassle in my view

2. I’m not sure if u have half or full brick boxes in mind. Half would work best. If they are unlocked at 300%, I think good idea to indicate in the rewards which will qualify for brick boxes when they become unlocked. May incentivise people to pledge higher tiers.

3. What Lorenzo and Gio like to do is to create an ultimate award tier where those who pledge the tiers will get all rewards that get unlocked, even though it is not clear at the start what is planned. And offer an early bird for it. Something worth considering.

Good luck in your KS

Are the mini decks actually used in tricks? I always thought it was solely a novelty

Lotrek is experimenting again.

Will it have EU friendly shipping?

We are gonna try.

I hope it does, that will influence my pledge for sure. Good luck!

Same here.

Did everyone in RoW find that the 52wonders fulfillment was good in the Parlour? I remember feeling like there were a ton of issues. Many many more than with gamblers stateside.

In the two years I've been collecting cards and backing 80+ KS card projects I've only had positive experience with 52wonders, ymmv.

I've had several projects shipped to me through 52Wonders fulfillment without issues. Works for me, but I recall some member here extremely displeased by the Parlour fulfilment.

No problem whatsoever with 52wonders, had several projects delivered by them and didn't find any issue.

no problems here either

I've had no problems with 52 wonders in any of the projects fulfilled by them.

My experience with 52wonders is always "damn, I'm the first one to hold this deck!" I think I posted first shots here on UC after Parlour campaign. So really no issues with them ever.

I'm worried about the tuck colors. Eggplant, navy, and black are all really dark and would hate to have a RAVN 4 confusion with these decks. Yes I know they have strongly different colored foil but still...

Good news is there's time to adjust if need be.

Great!

Some shots Lotrek took before shipping me the Prototypes. Campaign video is gonna be an allnighter for me. lol

This might be a redundant question; but since money is tight; will the most elaborate edition be available as a single?
Still not a fan of the overbranding but Lotrék's courts and foil wizardry might win me over to get the most premium edition.
Tuck box front is a bit empty for my liking.

EDIT: Forgot to mention; I love the idea of the pre-launch stream. Love me some .

In all honesty, not sure that I can answer that right now... but probably not. The "Tempest in a Bottle" edition will only have about 200-250 edition size due to the complexity. That's if we get through enough stretch goals to make it happen. Other editions will still be elaborate but also with limitations.

I say definitely no to classic decks of cards :/

Thank you for the honest answer. Unfortunate to hear that but the answer was expected.
Of course I understand that from a campaign strategy point of view it is not advantageous to allow cherry-picking.
A pity, I'll sit this one out then.
