Welcome Lance!
I met Lance at the 52+ Joker convention last year. Really nice guy. We talked briefly about some of his projects, but he really wouldn't/ couldn't divulge too much. I know he has several projects going, so I'm excited to see what he has planned.

I'm just putting in a plug for Lance's beautiful Fox Targets deck, a recent release from Murphy's Magic.

It's a deck about the outdoors and adventure. And the card-backs look especially classy!

I'm especially curious to learn more about the mysterious puzzle that Lance has built into the deck - in an interview he's said this about it: "I won’t be upset if people don’t figure it out right away or ever for that matter. I wanted to create something that would last throughout time; that people might pick up 25 years from now and still be trying to solve. There are clues buried throughout all of the artwork and the entire deck itself is the puzzle. I almost hope no one ever solves it and that it brings many years of adventure to those endeavor to work on it."
Lance gave a couple of other clues in a video here where he discussed the Fox Targets deck, where he said something to this effect: "Every single card has a story. Every story makes a greater story. I want to challenge you to see if anyone catches it. I gave so many clues, and it's not about me or any individual in particular. But it's about the deck, and the entire deck is a family - I will give you that!"

I'm still coming up with a complete blank in solving this puzzle, but it's a stunning deck with lots of lovely symbolism, and the custom pips are very stylish and elegant as well. To learn more about the Fox Targets, see the detailed pictorial review of this deck in my article here:
