Brazilian artist Fabrini Crisci made a deck based on his paintings. Deck name is currently unknown. I'll ask when I purchase the deck. Photos courtesy of Willow Domanski on FB.

Here is the artist's FB page:

I have contacted him about purchasing this deck. Shipping from Brazil is crazyyyyyy expensive so if anyone else in the States wants to jump in on my order, holla at ya boy.

Deck = $25 USD ($20 USD if I buy 3)

Shipping = 1-3 decks is $50 USD. I've inquired on the cost if I order more. TBD on those extra costs.

“Fabrini is a magician, mime, and visual artist. He studied in the school of life and says he's not finished yet, as he wishes to keep learning for a long time. When he was 16, he entered a small magic shop in downtown São Paulo. The place sold tricks, and the young boy was completely mesmerized by the clerk who made objects disappear right in front of his wide-open eyes. That day, Fabrini decided he wanted the power to stir emotions in people.

And that's how he became a magician, left Brazil, and conquered the world. As if being a top-tier magician wasn't enough (or perhaps because of it), he began painting, spreading his works through virtual galleries, and it quickly gained immense popularity among circus artists and contemporary pop art lovers.

The artist has held numerous exhibitions worldwide, and it was in Monaco where Prince Albert was so impressed with his work that he chose one of his paintings to be turned into a commemorative stamp for the principality.”

I'm interested if we can get the price down considerably. How would shipping work? Seems like to get a discount on shipping the initial order would need to go to a single address, and then shipped out again to those participating. Seems doable, but you'd have to get enough people in to make it worth it. I think I'd pay a max of $30 all in. They're pretty unique.

Update: he said the $50 shipping would cover up to 5 decks. If we got 5 people then the cost would be:

$35 (deck plus shipping from Brazil + me shipping to your address)

2 spots have been claimed. If 3 more folks are interested let me know!

$35 is doable for something this unique. Hopefully they handle well. Any idea of the stock/finish?

Second update:

(Regarding card stock) "It's the same quality as Bicycle cards – cardstock with an air-cushion finish."

Deck name:

Fabrini

Saw the post on FB and had found the deck on Brazilian sites for $10 but no idea how those would've been shipped. Rather the funds go to the artist directly, so count me in.

With Kev and Gandalf the White (Whale), we have 2 spots left.

I had to scroll back up to double check because we do have our very own GandalfTheWhite

Ok count me in as well, you can't have Gandalf without a Balrog

Haha I didn't know that Kev. I was just being cheeky. With Kev, Balrog, Gan and me we have one more spot!

I thought I was in?

Hey dude sorry. You said it sounded doable which didn't see like a confirmation to me. But don't worry you're in!

Fabrini is asking if you'd like him to sign your deck. If you want it signed, please PM me the name you want written

No worries. Thanks. It would be cool if he signed the outer box like the pic above. Just his name would be great!

Same here

Same for me as well , just his signature would be great

The art looks great so I'm tempted, I always hesitate with oversized boxes because they don't fit in my storage system
If more spots open up let me know. Thanks for sharing!

@KGthePrince, so what's the next step?

Hey bro please send me your address. The decks have arrived

Alright UC won't let me quote everyone who made the purchase but Kev, Gan, Mardem, and Balrog send me your addresses! I'll try to mail out the decks this weekend/early next week at the latest

Just sent my address in a PM

I'd like to publicly thank KGthePrince for orchestrating the buy on these. They are colorful, beautiful pieces of art, play wonderfully, and are a unique addition to my collection!
