Beauties, I wanna tell you how I feel right now. Designing cards became a full time job for me. It’s great if you can do what you love and getting paid for it. But I’m so incredible tired of all these dumb ass people out there - sorry for my wording.
At the end of 2019 I wanted to stop ...

Beauties, the new Remedies are finished by the end of this month. We aim for a very short pre-order for maybe one week so that nobody has to wait too long.
At the beginning of this year Covid crossed our plans and slowed down shipping. But Murphy's Magic is better prepared now and there won...

Beauties, I thought a red color for the Hearts and Diamonds wouldn't fit, but a few days ago I added this darker (Remedies) red to the red suits and it fits perfectly. I really couldn't be happier with the result.
This deck will be the first completely marked Black Roses deck in this series...

I've received this email from the printing company about the Innocence reprint:
"Prepress is working on this and wanted to know – what changed on the faces since last time? Did only the courts change?
If we can pick up the A-10 or more from the previous run that will save them a lo...
The idea to print my very first Black Roses deck with all three most relevant playing card factories is stuck in my head for a while now. A few days ago I found out that I'm not the first one with this idea. In fact at least one person already did this with their own deck. But it's also a great i...

I recently talked to Lee Asher and his exact words were: "you've made my day knowing someone is playing with Dondorf art". Of course, since he is a living library when it comes to playing cards I shouldn't be surprised that he knows so much about Dondorf Playing Cards.
It must be something...
Beauties, you can raise your pledge now in the Black Roses Hotel / Casino Kickstarter campaign to get the Innocence deck on top. The Innocence Playing Cards are currently in production and will be completed at the same time as the Hotel / Casino decks.
Beauties, to give you something more special than the rest of the world because - let's face it - you are better than the rest of the world :D I'm going to produce the Black Roses Casino Collector's Box ONLY FOR YOU, only for all Patreon members.

This is Muffin. Muffin is a Shih Tzu Pekinese. She had her first appearance two years ago well hidden in the Innocence Playing Cards. Since then I'm playing with the idea to design a whole deck for her. Today I designed the tuck box.

Beauties, I have a few news about the Innocence rerelease.
I updated all face cards. Still the same design but everything will look much cleaner. Only the double backer and the Jokers remain the same.
USPCC is going to print the matte tuck boxes through the Clove St Press on "Radiant Wh...
Beauties, I've been working for the last three days to present you the Black Roses Hotel / Casino Kickstarter campaign. It took me one day to create renders that I discarded at the end of the day because they didn't look inviting enough. But I'm pretty happy with the result right now.

Beauties, right now I'm struggling really hard with neurodermatitis and their side effects. Dyshidrosis - google it if you wanna get shocked. Nothing new for me. I've had these problems for as long as I can remember. No Covid. :D
Besides that I'm working on finishing the Orbits and the new...
I've never worked on the new Orbits for so long. We already started to collect the first ideas in the process of the V7 design. I even deleted the very first design to create something better and I designed this Parallel Edition on top. There is still so much to do but at least I know you'll love...

Beauties, I want to bring back the Innocence decks with a matte tuck box. Straight to my website - no crowdfunding.
In 2018 I already printed 2500 Innocence decks. The deck sold out pretty fast and I was torn over whether to reprint them or not.
For me the Innocence Playing Cards are...
I can't tell you how happy I am with the second gaff card in the Black Roses Supporter Edition. The idea isn't new but it's still such a refreshing illusion compared to all the other "standard magic" tricks.
Imagine this: a selected card goes back into the deck. You move your hand over the ...

I'm absolutely fascinated by the history of the Dondorf Playing Card company.
In 1918/1919 they sold over 9 million decks (!) and it seems like nobody really knows a lot about them anymore.

Beauties, first of all I wanna welcome all new patrons. Thanks for being a part of this journey. It really means a lot to me that you are here, that's why I wanna give as much back as possible.
There will be also a new and limited Casino deck that comes with the Black Roses Hotel deck. Whil...

Imagine this: the spectator selects a card and signs it on the face.
You place the card onto top of your deck and with your other hand you rub the top signature off.
The spectator can see that the signature really isn't there anymore.
You say the signature isn't really gone. You ju...

Since I never released a blue deck before I need to catch up. I don't know yet how and when I wanna release it.
Hotel V1 is sold out now since a few days. I have a few decks left on my own website but all the decks you find in other shops won't restock anymore.

As a special reward for the Kickstarter campaign, I've designed this vintage tuck box.
I ordered 10 prototypes to check out if the box can really get produced like that.
It is a bit complicated because of a few things.
It's also too late to introduce this Vintage Edition on Kickstart...
