As you already know from the Lavender's, I'm not the biggest fan of gilded decks, when the goal is to slap any fancy color onto the edges so that people are going to order it.
In my last campaign it was easily possible to create a few different gilded versions. But I still think silver was the only color that really fits t...
Happy Easter! Until Monday night you can find three Easter Eggs hidden somewhere on blackroses.cards.
Every egg directs you to a full shopping cart with huge discounts from 30% up to more than 55%.
Happy hunting!
Much love

On Monday I've finally sent the Dondorf and Black Roses Immergrün files to USPCC.
I no longer have any doubt that this limited edition will sell out very quickly.
I wasn't happy with the seal sticker so I've sent everything to USPCC without the seals so that I have a few more days to think about the right design.

Beauties, this is a VIP Patreon exclusive post.
For the Christmas package last year I promised you my favorite magic trick that has nothing to do with cards but it took forever until the pens arrived.
They finally arrived a few weeks ago at Murphy's Magic. You can add them now to your next order on 2021-03-31 16:16:56 +0000 UTC

First of all, thank you very much for all of your great reactions to my last two posts. It was in my mind for a while, so I wanted to share it with you. Especially after the last post I thought a lot of you would cancel their support because you think I'm very arrogant or cocky. But you are still here. I can't really put it i...

My father, a trained electrician worked his ass off to offer our family a life where we lack nothing. One of his biggest goals was that my mom don't have to work anywhere. He almost single-handedly renovated our house before my sister and I were born.
I would say we were always on the upper side of the lower middle class. ...
Actually I just wanted to write a small introduction to show you the second color of the Immergrün double backer but I realized the text got too long and it's something that I don't want to connect with the Immergrün deck. So I simply make a separate post out of it. This really f*cked up my day, that's why I want to share i...

The idea to reprint the Black Roses Immergrün deck is in my head for a while now. A lot of you ask me where they could find the deck for a decent price and this simply isn't possible anymore. With a bit luck you find it on ebay for 50€.
Only 1500 Immergrün decks have been printed in 2018 simply because I couldn't a...
I'm working on four different decks right now plus all the things for the Kickstarter fulfillment and I already started to design the Dondorf Kickstarter page.

Since last year I have stopped using prototype decks to advertise my playing cards. The only prototype deck that got printed was for the Blue Magic trailer.
I switched completely to playing card renders. Like that I’m able to create images exactly how I want them without any limitations.
But I wanna try some new...

From deck release to deck release I always had to improve something on the faces, until the point where I have redrawn all the standard face cards. I don't want to change something just for the sake of it but I also feel uncomfortable if I wouldn't c...

I promise, this is the last add-on :D Black Roses uncut sheets.
I could never understand why companies sell uncut sheets for 50-100€ or even more.
When I did the Blue Magic Kickstarter campaign last year, I sold one Blue Magic uncut sheet for 28€. Not knowing that I already have to pay 30€ for international sh...
Last year I offered the Black Roses Blue Magic hoodie in the Blue Magic Kickstarter campaign. I'm so happy with the result that I want to turn it into a tradition for the Black Roses Kickstarter campaigns.

Changed the face today and I love it, what do you think?
I also love the whole court card design in general.
It's looks so familiar / standard but it's completely different.

Beauties, back when I printed the Red Roses Playing Cards at the end of 2018 I didn't even think about collector's boxes. I wanted to catch up on that and since only a few 100 Red Roses are still available, I thought a signed Red Roses collector's box would be a very nice add-on for Valentine's Day.
As patron you can a...
It wasn't my idea to make a big mystery out of the Black Roses box but I thought it could be interesting to see your reactions. And damn... Over 45 gilded decks are already sold - and you didn't even know what you purchase! I'm very proud and grateful.
Here they are - the first gilded Black Roses Playing Cards.

I've putting it off over and over again to write the text for one of the "ad cards" in the Dondorf deck. For the history and the meaning of this deck I didn't just want to add another duplicate or gaff card to the deck, without explaining myself a bit.
I also had to distract myself a bit so that I don't think about the ...

Beauties, the outside part of the box got produced yesterday. It's so nice to see the process that I wanted to share it with you.
February as estimated delivery date was maybe a little bit optimistic because of the Chinese New Year Holidays but I should now more by the end of this week.
