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

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share our upcoming deck—the Ltd Edition 80s Playing Cards on Kickstarter! Inspired by retro cassette tapes and featuring a bold Memphis-style design, this deck is crafted for collectors, magicians, and cardists alike.

The pre-launch page is live, and to celebrate, we’re giving away the only sealed prototype, along with an exclusive collector’s card! infos on our KS page -> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ma ... ying-cards

And here’s an exclusive first look at: the Queen of Spades, vibing to her Walkman, and the Queen of Diamonds blowing the biggest bubblegum bubble this side of the 80s.

Thanks for your time and support!

I was gonna say these are pretty similar to the Kings Wild decks, but those are VHS instead of cassettes. And the courts are very different. This looks fun.

This looks fun.
Is that pink casette the card back design?
Printing and cutting cards with a think and precise black outline like that is extremely risky and will most likely not end up as intended. How did the prototypes come out?

You can never have too many 80s decks. Like what I see so far.

Hi mate, thanks for you feedback
No, this “real” cassette was just to illustrate the tribute. The back design will be a 2 way back variation of the orange cassette on the back of the tuckcase, with white border to facilitate tricks for magicians and also visual for cardistry. Others visuals coming soon on our instagram

Hey everyone!

Our 80s Playing Cards Kickstarter is officially launched!



We’re 4/5 of the way there!

Better to show all the cards or at least more than 2 of the courts.

Yeah, while the overall concept looks interesting, not showing a single Jack or King card screams either low effort or a bad beginners mistake.

Transparency is important, especially for beginners

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedbacks. You asked for them, here they are: Meet the Glam Rockstar Jack of Diamonds, the Breakdancing King of Hearts, and the Business Tycoon King of Clubs!
Our Kickstarter campaign is wrapping up soon, and there won't be any late pledges, so don't miss out! We've got exclusive new pledges and a cool giveaway happening right now. Check it out and join the party:

Honestly, these look amazing and so on point. You probably would have garnered even more backers if you had presented them right from the start.

Congrats on funding your goal +2x.
Maybe you will remove the coming soon from your thread title.

Thanks a lot for your feedback yes you are right, it’s a good point of communication improvement for next time. I’ve changed the title to be more relevant

If you want to keep it relevant, here's a friendly reminder that the title is yet again outdated with the 'Ending Soon'.
There is also the option of choosing a thread title which does not require frequent maintaining.
