Hey guys,

I revealed the second gaff card today! Here it is:

Full bleed of plaid awesomeness from the seal!

Best,
Vadim

I have to say that I am not a fan of this gaff. IMHO (as always) - the back design without leaves (or even with slightly chopped ends of branches) could be more interesting for magicians.

I wonder if there is a chance to create a seal in a shape of a leaf.

I didn't know you were a magician.  Where do you perform?

No, I am not a magician. I am a spectator. And as a spectator I can imagine what gaff card will look better for such trick.

The trick you linked to is a snap change.  It requires no gaff cards.  I'm not quite following what you're trying to say.

Regardless, this deck will not likely see a lot of use as a magic deck in the first place.  I learned early in my magic career that decks in the hands of spectators get ruined FAST, so it's best not to use some top-dollar, limited edition deck as opposed to a garden-variety pack from the drugstore - especially when there's a few orders of magnitude more gaff cards for something like the Bicycle Rider Back than there ever will be for the Bicycle Lumberjacks 2nd Edition.  However, that gaff card would make for a very nice cut card...

I think it would be too close to the double-backer that's already in the deck. Sure, I can remove it and do something else, but it seems like the double back is almost a staple now in custom decks.

As far as the seal goes, I'm sure it's possible, but would probably drive cost up significantly to have a die-cut seal like that. Would definitely be cool though! Maybe something like a low-tack sticker in the shape of a leaf with a clear border?

If I remember that pattern is the shirt you wore in a video :D

Sure was, good memory!

However, that gaff card would make for a very nice cut card...

Yup, that was the exact intention! I wanted something that had a lot of contrast against the rest of the deck. Even considered going with a blue plaid pattern.

Thanks for all the comments and please, keep sharing!

OK, you let me know when you can hear the sound of one hand clapping...  Meanwhile, let's get back to the topic at hand.

This campaign is in it's final week. Spread the word, tell your pals. This deck should absolutely be funded.  :D
Title: Re: The Lumberjacks 2nd Edition (KS)
Post by: Vadim Smolenskiy on April 10, 2015, 04:07:20 PM
So the funding was unsuccessful :( but I plan on making a few changes and doing a re-launch! Just wanted to say thanks you all of you guys for always commenting and of course supporting this project.

I'll be posting updates!

Best,
Vadim

Sorry to see it not get funded, but don't give up. KS has seemed a little off for the past couple months. Only a few decks seem to really be setting the place on fire.

Could be all those people that spent eight million dollars on Exploding Kittens have wallets that are feeling a bit lighter for a while...

I didn't back for exploding kitten but my wallet is indeed lighter from last month spending too much on getting some older cards...
Now I am being really picky of which campaign to back.  :(
and I prefer the LPCC or EPCC playing cards over USPCC, maybe you can consider using them for relaunch  :P

Ah, but to do so would mean removing the Bicycle brand name...

I know the first edition was branded with bicycle, but maybe for a change lets drop the bicycle  8)

Limited Edition, Ultralimited Edition, Limited Edition of Ultralimited Edition - and everything will be fine.

More serious - I hope the second launch will be more successful. The deck is really interesting and nice.

You're welcome.  Just so you know, I rarely get early birds.  (I'm rarely early enough!)  But today's the last full day of a week-long vacation, so I had good timing and a desire to back!
