The Dinastía Playing Cards its a tribute to the great players that have marked the history of Football.

On different occasions we have been in love by their plays and the way they made history with their feet they met and found the hope and faith of many nations.

The feeling of watching the team you support brings so much anticipation whether they will make or break your day. The last minute goals , the majestic skills and the fans pure joy really tugs at your heart strings. No other sport I believe can bring out such similar intensity.

Football is not love, its life.


Dinastía Playing Cards

Limited Edition of 2000 decks.
56 cards!
Fully custom art for all the court cards, aces and jokers.
Unsealed.
No cellophane wrap.
Printed by Cartamundi on their amazing True Linen B9 Finish.

Playing Card Plethora / Torch Red Enigma Playing Cards
« on: December 03, 2017, 03:31:06 AM »
Hello again!  ;)

Last year we were successful at launching and funding the first Mexican designed playing cards specialized in cardistry and magic in kickstarter. Since that day we have been working nonstop on getting the first version of our deck known in the cardistry and magic community with huge success, so much that people in the community started to ask us if we were thinking about creating a second version of our deck.

That got us really excited, so we decided to improve on the enigma playing cards, we took the feedback that we got at some community events (like Cardistry Con 2017) and got to work.

We didn't want to create another simple recolor and we didn't want to change what made the original deck special in the first place, so we added more features to the deck on top of the feedback our fans gave us.

LINK TO THE CAMPAIGN



So whats new?

· The colors (a new torch red and we are using a cherry purple instead of black in the whole deck)
· Full custom Aces (we redesigned the other 3 aces in the same style as the original ace of spades from the Black Enigma Playing Cards).
· 56 cards!
· New magic reveals!
· New stock and finish (we are printing now with Cartamundi!)

What did we keep from the last project?

· Fully marked deck! (for all your magic needs)
· Comes in Mnemonica stack out of the box
· Amazing tuck box! (red on red this time!)

I hope you guys can help us this time around, if not by pledging maybe by sharing this project :)

The project has some extra add-ons that we will reveal this week...

Right now we are offering more decks and shirts as add ons, but we will soon add collectable pins, an opportunity to add on a black deck (the V1 enigma that its currently sold out) and custom brick boxes and close up pads.

Hi guys

We are finally ready to unveil a small teaser for a new deck of cards that we have been working on.

This is the Ace of Spades of our new Axolotl deck, based on this little creature that lives in Mexico and has really special abilities...

The deck is still not ready (just some minor details are missing) but hopefully we will be ready to launch our kickstarter campaign this December...

Feel free to give us feedback/questions on these small teaser :)

Playing Card Plethora / Enigma Playing Cards Deck by Enigmacards [KS]
« on: November 24, 2016, 10:29:49 AM »


NOTE: This project might show up in MXN currency, so it might seem a little high in price, in reality $200.00MXN Its about $10.00USD so 1 deck in early bird + shipping is less than $15.00USD :)

Having learned from our first time doing an IG campaign, we changed and added a lot of new stuff to our original project and most importantly we made the jump to KS.

Right now we are over 30% (we waited a week to get here and promote the project since we were part of the original KS Mexico exclusive launch)

We changed the box (which was one of the main complaints last time), added full custom court cards and we will have some extras in the form of a marking system for the magicians and some extra features for magic.

We also made the deck cheaper.

Hope you guys can support us this time around.

Im also adding a couple of images.

  • The decks are going to be printed with EPCC.

    We are using EPCCs recent Spot UV process (present on the very recent Superior Skull & Bones) for the new box, its going to be black on black (Replace the white on the image for a glossy black over matte black).

    The Enigma Logo and the Eye will be done on silver foil.

We also added an image of the prototype box.

Playing Card Plethora / Golden Gatorbacks (probably Metallux?)
« on: November 10, 2016, 08:55:39 PM »
Can we just lose control?  :karrit:

This look amazing!!!! I bet they are going to be out on Black Friday...

So any opinions on the deck?

I suppose this are going to be just like the red Gators, extremely limited and a 1 time chance.

Hello there guys i can finally present to you the Enigma Deck

Mexico's first deck designed for your cardistry and magic needs.
Designed in collaboration with Anagrama Studio
Available:  September 15 Indie gogo


We decided to go for Indie gogo since we are from México a country that is unfortunately not convered by Kickstarter. (we tried everything to be able to be on kickstarter but it was just not possible for us).

The funding goal will be a FIXED one, we want to be as transparent as possible with all of you :)

We will be printing with Expert Playing Card Company and we will be going for a limited run of 1000 decks never to be reprinted again.

Now some of our story.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enigma Cards is an established playing card company with a passion for cardistry and magic based in Monterrey, México and its currently México’s best and biggest playing card store.

We have been thinking of creating a deck of cards for a couple of years now so we set a challenge to ourselves, how could we reimagine a deck of cards different from what is available right now.

The concept of the deck is based on the meaning of the word enigma.

- enigma: a puzzling or inexplicable occurrence -

We wanted to transfer that definition without making an overly complicated design.

Hope you guys like it :)

Hi guys

Im really close to launching a crowdfunding campaign for a brand new deck of cards that ill be revealing in a few weeks here in this forum FIRST.

But before that theres a question i have been asking myself for too long and that one is...

Why the hate towards Indie Go go?

I have been researching for a while and the main problem some people have is that indie gogo takes the backers money immediately.

i understand that theres some discomfort over having to pay in advance for something you don't know if its going to be made or not, specially if it doesn't get made.

Im interested in learning if there are any other good reasons why people prefer kickstarter over indie go go.

I know the traffic over each platform is very different too but i believe that good marketing and publicity can make up for the difference in "base users", at the end of the day, your main market are the ones that are going to support you the most.

Anyway if anybody has some insight on this please share it.

thanks!

ADMIN NOTE: This topic developed from a tangential discussion on the Black Diamond Tally Ho deck topic about what is or isn't a recolor or a redesign of a particular deck.  I separated the topic into two separate topics as best I could to preserve the original discussion on the deck while allowing the new topic to continue. - Don Boyer

Wow i wasn't expecting this to create all this backlash.

Please don't take my comments too deeply as harsh as they might sound. I respect Jackson a lot, though i have never been a fan of his projects, i do respect the fact that he has been pushing the boundaries of how decks should look and feel. Quality on his projects shouldn't be questioned (from a designer point of view, I am an architect and do understand the complexity, time and effort he put into his work)

My real issue has been addressed by Don, on how KS was originally intended and how its used nowadays.

I do understand the Metalux technology is not cheap and that Bicycle is charging more for his foil deck with his classic design than Jackson, He is indeed offering way more than that with this project.

The risks of KS can be discussed even more, (as im also an avid video gamer and have been exposed to KS "riskless" projects more than once) but i will leave that for another topic but i would like to mention that there are plenty of articles telling stories of how people just disappear with the money or how they promise something and then never deliver.

The other issue is that this is kind of a recolor  ???
 
If the metalux tech is the only real difference aside from small tweaks in the design, then its not enough for me to pop $27 on 1 deck (my opinion guys), its still a beautiful deck, I like the design and the new color scheme, but after the scarlet tally ho, and the emerald tally ho and the normal tally ho, i guess i will pass on this one.

Playing Card Plethora / Madison Revolvers
« on: October 12, 2015, 05:20:56 PM »
So many of you may have already seen the emails or announcements at the ellusionist page that the Madison Revolvers are going to be available for only 6 days (it started yesterday), in groups of 52 each day. Today, MONDAY, they were sold out in a minute.... 1 minute.


I dont know if Ellusionist are geniuses or what...

Problem is (just like with David Blaines Red Gator Backs) you can buy all 52 decks if you are fast enough, effectively denying the deck to everybody.

I tried today with no luck.

Tomorrow i might get lucky. This seems to be the Hypest deck fo the year...

Playing Card Plethora / D&D Variety Box April 2015
« on: April 04, 2015, 03:06:34 PM »
ADMIN NOTE: this was split from a topic that covered more than one product.  It started with this post:

Hi Folks,

Its been far too long since I posted last, but watching my little boy grow takes up some time!

Surprised to see (unless I have it wrong) that there have been no comments so far on the Variety Box release or the Aristocrats Classics?

I bypassed the box but picked up a pair of decks - by the community silence have I made a bad move.....?

I hope you are all well.

Its not a bad box, 6 of the decks are "new" and right now it has the price tag of $125.00USD

This is the list:

Borderline
Guy Hollingworth

Aristocrat® Classic, Blue

Smoke & Mirrors, v6
Antler Limited Ed.
Alice in Wonderland

DeckStarter Brand Deck

Prime
ULTIMATE DECK
Vintage Plaid, Calif Blue
Blue Fontaine's

Virtuoso 2015


At approx  $10.00USD a pop its a good box, I took the liberty of putting in bold the decks that are "worth it" cost wise. Of course thats according to my perception.



21

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / Cards Clips... Are they Worth it?
« on: August 29, 2014, 07:25:08 PM »
Some time ago i bought a Blaine Special that had a custom made clip.

I was happy... for a while.
Then i noticed that because it was a Blaine item and highly collectable, i unconsciously didn't use it.
So i got stuck with a clip that i didn't want to damage.

I had very little experience with it, but recently some major changes to the offer of custom clips have arise and im actually very curious about them.


So some questions for the folks that do have a porper clip (custom or not):

· What kind of porper clip should i get if i own decks with custom tuck boxes?? .. example an ultimate deck tuck box.

· Is it worth the money?

· Theres an Abalon clip at the D&D site which looks amazing, but im actually worried about the way they inserted the abalon into the porper clip, does anyone know if the clip will hold together without any problem?

· There are some leather clips out there that look great, does the leather need any kind of special care?

· There are some carbon finer clips out there, are they the same thing? more resistant perhaps? or not worth the investment?

Thanks for reading and sorry for the questions. I have been trying to get a trustful source of info on these and not the actual info of the vendor (which usually is very one sided).
