Hello everyone. I am Overflight and I found this project in virtue of being a Kickstarter "addict" of sorts :I have helped fund around 30 projects, usually with small amounts in various areas but mostly in indie gaming and technology.

After seeing both this and the Americana project, I felt the urge to own these cards, seeing as for quite a while I have been fascinated by their iconography. But then the logical part of my brain said "Isn't that a bit silly? I mean, you don't even like card games all that much". Then after looking at some comments here it hit me: why not get into cardistry and card magic? There are several resources available (though I am sometimes intimidated by how young some skilled practitioners are, which makes me feel I "missed out" even though I am only doing this for fun) so I could use that to channel my fascination with cards.

Anyway, I hope that didn't sound too weird. You all look like very nice people and I wish Aether Cards the best of luck for the future.  :)

Hi Overflight! Kickstarter is quite addicting indeed. If I had the money I would be pledging left and right for some of the projects.

Magic and cardistry is an amazing "in" to the world of playing cards. There is a lot to learn but I think anyone here will tell you that cards are some of the most fascinating and interesting pieces of art they own.

Welcome to the boards Overlight, and yes Alex your right cards are one of my most fascinating and interesting pieces of art I own, but the Vortex deck would probably have to be one of my favorite back designs. At least in my top 3.

Hey Overflight...I'm a bit of an old-timer myself within today's card world. About to be 27 and I feel as though I'm getting a little old for this lmao
