This is slightly different than your regular Kickstarter project for a deck of cards, but there are tiers that come with decks that you can get. The film alone looks really, really interesting, and worth supporting.
A feature length documentary called "Lost in the Shuffle" is currently up on Kickstarter here:

It's described as: "A cinematic exploration of the long history between magicians and playing cards and the murder mystery hidden in their art."
They've got some great names involved: Shawn Farquhar, Michael Vincent, Alexandra Duvivier, Richard Turner, and Juan Tamariz.
