Here are a few photos from the final Whispering Imps™ decks.  I should be receiving a truck load of them in a week or so...

That matte vellum tuck box is gorgeous. It's slowly becoming a much preferred 'standard'; just like thin borders!

Probably a bit early, but you can definitely put me down for 2 of each once the ones that need shipping out have gone.  :D

Thank you everybody...there won't be many left over once orders are shipped.  I imagine once the dust settles, i'll be able to put the remaining decks for sale on my website later in the year.  Stay tuned!

The Majestic deck has the matte vellum to. really nice feel.

just over half of the orders have been shipped out by now to the backers.  Full disclosure....packing and shipping thousands of decks takes way longer than I ever expected.   I hope some of you in this forum have received them, and they have arrived safely.

If you have photos to share on twitter or instagram...use the hashtag #whisperingimps.  Would love to see your photos.

I got them - love 'em!  Very good work and the box is outstanding.  The stock feels great, too, soft and flexible like Aristocrat stock.

This might be one of my new all-time favorites! Ultra-classy box, super snappy stock, a great gaff card, and a brilliant theme! I'm really kicking myself for not getting more.

Just a quick update: all orders to backers have been shipped out.  A small supply of each deck will be made available on www.whisperingimps.com this Friday, November 15, 2013 (along with Uncut Sheets).  Hope those of you on the forum who backed the Imps are enjoying them.

I just got mine, I am waiting to open it since my decks keep warping when I do. The art poster is amazing though.

EDIT: Damn I decided to open these and the box had an amazing smell as you took the cellophane off. The cards were soft, able to spring almost instanaly, fans ok, need to break it in more though. and the gaff is amazing.

Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

Hey folks, thanks for all your kind comments and support!    Friday was pretty epic.  Except for the forums, I didn't advertise the site going live to anyone on Friday.  I didn't even give a time really, but wow did it take off.  I'm glad everyone who missed out previously has since gone to the site to pick up a few. 

There is a little confusion (based on messages I've received).  Both decks are limited editions, meaning this is the only print of these decks in these boxes.  I couldn't call  the red "Special Edition" an LE simply because they both were LE's.  So once these are gone...they are really gone!

Have no fear, two more decks planned in the Whispering Imps series...more to come.

Chris is a valued member over at UC - he doesn't just come in to plug his work unlike other designers like, say, Johnny Whaam.

Their loss!

I was an idiot and only backed for one black deck. My 2 pack just came, and they look amazing! Love the foil on the red.

I'm glad to hear that.  If you'd like to discuss the UC policy further, may I suggest that you post in that topic.  Honestly, I would welcome someone with a different perspective on the subject.

And yes, that limited edition red-boxed deck is GORGEOUS.

Thanks Don for bringing that to my attention.  Frankly, I've been so busy with the cards, my full time job and two other outside project that I unfortunately haven't been able to catch up on everything in the forums.  I'd like to think I contribute in many discussions outside of the Imps in the forums and hope that my previous post isn't seen as promotional but rather and update or statement.  As always though, thank you for keeping me in the loop and of course for your support and kind words. 

Great photo Sparks!
