Hey guys:

I am working on this custom deck called Low Reef's.

I am into different sorts of cards, but my favorite are the more simplistic and minimal decks such as Wynn's, Ace Fulton's,Virginia Slims, etc.

One of my favorite back designs is also the original Smoke and Mirror's back from Dan and Dave.

I think that you can have best of both worlds, simple and ornate. I also like a bit of mystery in designs, hiding (or at least trying) odd things and incorporating them into the design.

I am only sharing the back design for now, as the courts are all going to be standard, but modified, taking out some of the details, similar to Smoke and Mirrors, but leaving a lot more than they did.

Here you have the original sketch, the back design, and an idea for the card box. I need to do jokers still and I am debating on the Ace of Spades. I want everything as normal as possible as I am more on the magician side of things and appreciate having normal cards for certain effects.

Please let me know what you guys think! I still have tinkering to do but I like to let things sit for a day or two and come back to them with a fresh mind.
