We received the digital proofs yesterday and the printed proofs should go out next week so that we hopefully receive them by the end of next week.
Since USPCC's prepress work took twice as long as expected, it's more realistic that the cards gets finished at the beginning of November.
We can't wait to see what you think about the deck.

Beauties, I finally decided to print the Muffin deck with Hanson Chien.
This deck will be available in the "💳 EARLY CHECK-IN SPECIAL" on Kickstarter.
As usual, among other items the Early Check-In Special will also contain a collector's box and...

Since June/July I've been working under time pressure on this deck as it has to be finished before the holidays of course. I was surprised that Chris already posted something on Instagram. Since it's already out there I thought I can show you a better look at the tuck - without getting in trouble with Chris :D

You don't see a lot decks with inner tuck prints simply because it isn't affordable due the high costs from the printing companies. With Hanson Chien, I finally have the option to add something on the inside of the tuck box without having to increase the price of the deck.
I thought about a red inner tuck case for the third Black Roses Casino edition. Same red from the second Black Roses ...

Estimated completion date: October 2021
Fully marked.
One way face cards.
New pips.
New courts.
New hidden features.
Stripper decks.
Hanson sent me the sample for the cold foiled silver Black Roses Hotel Deck. Most of you have seen my Lens videos. He also sent me the gold foil Innocence back design along with a few other samples and I really fell in love immediately.
From a certain angle it simply looks like a standard Innocence ...
It feels like I always write half novels, when I post something, so I'll keep it short this time. We've finished the MxS Casinos today.
The files for USPCC look like this...
My cold foil samples from Hanson Chien also arrived. I need to pick them up at the post office. This will be the...
Beauties, the last few days I was caught in a loop. I wanted to change so many details on the court cards in the new MxS Casino deck, just to change something. I switched weapons, replaced axes with swords etc. But gladly I realized after a few days without looking at the files that I've focused on the wrong details.
I'll send the MxS Casino files to USPCC next week so that we hopefully have...
Beauties, you can order the Black Roses Immergrün Playing Cards now:

They aren't listed on the front page so that they aren't immediately visible for everyone yet.
Don't forget your discount codes. I'll also send out new codes...

Some good news first. The regular Dondorf decks are finished and on the way to Murphy's Magic! Now I'm even more under pressure to finish everything asap for the fulfillment. Great... :D
Murphy's Magic will offer some of the last few Polyantha V2s. Actually they should go online with the Lavenders, but I wasn't happy with the images that I had. After several attempts I finally got someth...
You blowed up my expectations with your reactions to my last post about the gold foiled Black Roses so much that I almost didn't dare to show you the Black Roses Hotel sample. :D
I know, gold and black in combination has a huge impact and the contrast makes it really nice. It's a contrast that is missing in this teal and silver design. Nevertheless, I think it's a beautiful and huge step for...
I've showed you the Jack of Diamonds of the MxS Casino deck already in the second to last post. But did you noticed that he is holding an axe instead of a spear?
If you take a look at the shoulder part where the spear was before you can see that I've continued the design behind the spear seamlessly until the edge.

A while ago I asked you which color we should use for the numbered seal sticker in the next Black Roses Casino deck, red or gold. The majority of you said red and I'll keep the color. In a way you are able like that to determine how the final deck will look like.
Here is another quest...

Congrats to the winner and thanks to everyone else for participating!
In the last few days I've been working on a few subtle different details on the courts. I'll make a separate post about it very soon but I wanted to show you this card already.
Much love

Together with Murphy‘s Magic I'm going to do a Lavender brick giveaway this weekend on Instagram. But I thought why not doing a separate giveaway only for you on Patreon?
Just leave a comment under this post - and really only one please. I'll randomly pick a winner on Monday.
It‘s pretty likely that I‘ll do more giveaways only on Patreon in the future.
Wish you a pleasan...

Good news, the Black Roses Immergrün reprints are finished and on the way to Murphy's Magic. So the Dondorf decks should be finished as well in around 2-3 weeks.
I got the Immergrün invoice from USPCC and I realized that I also ordered 25 Black Roses Immergrün uncut sheets as well. Somehow I really forgot that. I wanted to create a page on 2021-07-05 19:22:20 +0000 UTC

Beauties, after the last Kickstarter project I made myself rare. I fall into a hole every time after a Kickstarter campaign. All the tension that I have for weeks is gone after a crowdfunding project ends. And yes, that normally is something great. But I also need some amount of pressure to not feel completely useless maybe. On top of the bad mood I got a cold and my neurodermatitis that I have...

I've waited a few more days, since I want that all Kickstarter backers receive their decks first but you can order them now on blackroses.cards.
Murphy's Magic also start to offer both decks on their website in the next few days so that you can order them in your favorite magic shop in your country as well.
Besides my Red Roses the Blue Magic Edition is probably the most "commercial" deck that I have. And since the Red Roses are almost sold out it only makes sense to design a gaff deck for the Blue Magic Edition. My goal is it to offer this deck in a bundle with a regular Blue Magic deck.
As magician I absolutely love gaff decks and as a designer it's also fun to design them. There is just one ...
First off all, yes it's an easter egg, so talking about it doesn't sound really smart. But I worked so hard on this for the last 24 hours that I simply want to share it with you. If you wanna find it by yourself, stop reading now and close this window. :D

Imagine you work on something and after a few hours you check your Kickstarter campaign again just to see that you have "lost" over 700€ today. One backer canceled his 514€ pledge. These things make Kickstarter campaigns so annoying... However :D There are some gold gilded Dondorf decks available again for you.

Beauties, for the next two hours you can get the Red Roses Playing Cards for only 6€ on Kickstarter as add-on.
Only 322 Red Roses Playing Cards are still left in stock. After that 5500 Red Roses Playing Cards are officially sold out.
I'll post a Black Roses Playing Cards deck update for everyone on Kickstarter after these two hours but not with the same price an...
Beauties, you can still add 35€ to your current pledge on Kickstarter to receive the mystery box. If you click the following link you'll open an image where you can see what you get for your money. So don't click on this link if you wanna get surprised.

Madison and I working on a new MxS deck since quite a while now. We have been stuck for weeks because of the right text or quote on the Ace of Spades. One small missing sentence that stops all the work. It sounds ridiculous but we both wouldn't be happy with something that doesn't fit to 100%. My goal is it to show you more and more now over the next few weeks.

This is a box for patrons only. To make it a little bit more interesting I want to wait until tomorrow until I show it to you. Maybe you also wanna get surprised until you open your package. Therefore I'll post it on a separate page.

Beauties, because of canceled pledges we made a small loss today. Which of course isn't that dramatic but I want to keep the momentum going in the campaign.
To get out of the loss I made the Immergrün collector's boxes available again for you. This time for the next 2 1/2 hours. When this time is over I'll announce the deck on social media.
So check them out now in the add-...
