This is my design idea for the design contest.
I was inspired to create this deck after viewing my Grandparents old Mother of Pearl piano accordion.
I wanted to create a deck that was usable for both cardistry and magic purposes. I drew inspiration from decks such as Virtuoso and Smoke and Mirrors.
Each pip on every card features the pearl design in either red or black according to the suit. I wanted the courts to be custom but also standard enough to be used for magic, so I simplified them and them added the Pearl design in different colours.
Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks!
I like the overall concept.
Using just a "J" for the joker index can be a little confusing to some. Consider one of the many generic indices used over the years - a star, a dot, etc. - or make a new one. "J" is already spoken for!
Placing a red field on the Ace of Spades can also confuse people. A magician's deck should have minimal chances, not radical ones like that.
Speaking of which - custom court faces? My view, for what it's worth, is that if you're going to make custom faces, make the entire court unique. Go standard or go custom; don't get stuck in-between.
The reveal joker is nice, cleverly hidden without being utterly impossible for a spectator to spot.
