Because of the mini decks that I do right now I took a closer look at the different paper stocks from a lot decks which got printed in Asia. In this process, I had the mind blowing realization that the linen structure on the cards look all the same.

These are the mini deck templates that I received today from the printing company.
I told them I want to print a mini deck and I also told them the size (44 mm x 63 mm). A regular poker card has the dimensions 63 mm x 88 mm. So of cou...
Beauties, I hope you are all doing well. It looks like I have to deal with long Covid symthoms now. Annoying af.
Anyway, I'm talking to a lot different companies in the last few days who are all working on your Kickstarter rewards for the next campaign.
A new idea that I have - as you can probably guess from the t...

Beauties, this week I finally received the digital proofs of the DSPC deck. I had to update a card, but I approved everything for printing yesterday. A while ago I asked you which "ad-cards" you want to see in a deck. To my surprise, double backer and duplicate were way out in front. I have taken your opinion to heart and add...

Beauties, I want to share this with you because I'm really surprised at how many card people don't seem to know this.
The Black Roses Hotel Playing Cards are meant to remind you of old casino decks from the 70s. An important detail in this regard is the off-center seal that you see on a lot old casino decks.

Beauties, three Easter eggs are hidden somewhere on www.blackroses.cards until Monday night. Every egg directs you to a full cart with huge discounts from 50% up to more than 65%!
If you find them, please don't spoil anything in the comments.

Yesterday I received a Black Roses Edelrot Collector's Box sample. A good time to share a few details about the collector's boxes with you. I hesitated with this post for a while now because all the effort that went into this isn't really visible at first glance - sounds familiar huh? It was hard for me to put my enthusiasm a...

Beauties, before I talk about the good things, I wanna give you a quick fulfillment update of my last Kickstarter campaign. Currently I'm dealing with a lot fulfillment stuff that stresses me out. There are no problems that can't get solved. But the annoying part about it is that these are things I wouldn't have to worry abou...

I took some time to redesign my King of Diamonds. I'm quite happy with it so far, but I'm sure it will take me a while to get completely used to it. It’s very likely that I’m also going to change a lot more details but I’m so happy with the card that I wanted to share it with you.
When I started to draw people on ...

The Black Roses V1s are coming back this summer, printed by MPC. In order to get them on my current favorite card stock - Linen Air Light - I'm forced to print 1000 decks. I would like to make them more limited like the Cartamundi and Hanson Chien reprint but I also don't want that the quality suffers from it. The MPC reprint...

Chris has given me permission to show you a bit of the new Orbit deck. So if these pictures are shared elsewhere, I'm not sure I'll be allowed to do that again :D
On the night of February 26-27, Chris wrote me: "CC V2? 🤔"
Funny enough - that's how we started the new Orbit deck.
I told Chris that I thought t...
A spontaneous idea that Madison and I had today. We are going to produce 200 gold gilded Black Remedies decks. Both colors work perfectly in contrast to each other. So we have no doubt that you like the idea as much as we do.
Since the gilding process takes at least two months more, it's possible that we are going to do...

After a long back and forth the printed proofs finally arrived.
Normally printed proofs aren't really necessary at all. I just wanted to be on the safe side.
Most of the time I'm working with Corel Draw. USPCC even advises against using the program. But I already use all the functions in this program intuitively. So ...

Two years ago, the production of one of the first custom decks ever was discontinued. When I heard that I got a little sentimental - for two seconds. Then I decided to design my own version as a tribute. I've started doing magic when the first custom decks came out and I even think this deck was my first custom deck ever. Tha...

I thought about streaming my work live on twitch at some point. For weeks I sit on the computer and I redesign the face cards for each new deck. I'm very grateful that you appreciate this work, but I think hardly anyone can really imagine what kind of work it is in detail. That's why I always feel the urge to explain what I d...

Beauties, thank you for picking up the MxS Casinos! With the purchase of the collector's box you also received a zip file with the marking system and the Poker Lesson by Daniel Madison.
Not a lot of you have downloaded it yet so I wanted to share it with you here:
The password to get access to the MxS Casino Collector's Boxes is:
Beauties, tomorrow Madison and I are releasing the MxS Collector's Boxes to all patrons.
Only 200 boxes will go online. The boxes are strictly limited but since it is not a public release, the chances are more than high that you will get a box if you are online tomorrow.
We'll post the password to get access...
The deck that you see on top are actually just two cards. This gaff will be one of four extra cards in the white DSPC deck.
I first saw this gaff card in a Bicycle deck. Unfortunately, I can't find the deck on the fly anymore....

Almost every European court card has a skin color. But you rarely see that on American court cards. I know it also looks unusual but I think it's just because we aren't used to see it that often. So please take a look at it for a few seconds before you vote. And feel free to let me know what you think in the comments.

Beauties, next Wednesday on February 9 you'll get exclusive access to the MxS Casino Collector's Boxes - 48h before the rest of the world.
The cards are on the way to Murphy's Magic. If they don't get them this week anymore, they should definitely arrive next Monday. MM will need 1-2 days to assemble all collector's bo...
I'm torn about which court cards to choose for the next Black Roses playing cards. To make my decision hopefully a little easier, I would like to know what you think.
Finally we received some good news today!
USPCC finished the MxS Casinos and they will send them out now. If not everything goes completely wrong we should receive them next week at the latest.
We decided to ad...

Having the option to change faces on court cards is something that intrigues me. But it's not just the fact that you can draw faces of friends, acquaintances or celebrities on the cards. I think it's a work-related problem - as much as I love the standard faces from USPCC, they also bore me because I see the same files which ...
