Hey everyone.  Check out the latest KS campaign from Penguin.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/penguinmagic/sockmans-original-playing-card-socks

The main pledge levels are for the sock accessories themselves.  The decks are stretch goals right now, but hopefully they'll be unlocked.

We've been playing with the prototype for awhile now and have some fun ideas for Card to Impossible Location type routines, etc.

While it looks simple, we actually went through several manufacturers and made several prototypes to make the sock look, feel, and fit perfectly on a standard poker deck.  We're not just buying socks off the shelf and cutting them down to size - this is a totally custom product.

In road testing the prototype with some performances, it definitely elicits chuckles and amused reactions to pull out a mini sock and take your deck out of it. The goal of this item is to be quirky, fun, and unusual.

We should have a video posted before long to explain more about the product.

We also do have custom decks designed that we've placed as stretch goals.  So if we hit those goals, anyone who digs the decks but not the socks will be able to snag those.

Thanks!
