Bicycle Birthday Back (Passion Pink Edition) Playing Cards

Bicycle Birthday Back (Passion Pink Edition) Playing Cards is a festive, cupcake-themed deck designed by Chris Hage now seeking funds on Kickstarter. Serving as the second release in the Birthday Back series, the deck celebrates birthdays with playful artwork, and performance-friendly handling.

The deck features fully custom artwork built around cheerful cupcake and candle motifs, carried consistently across the card backs, courts, pips, and tuck. 

The courts showcase smiling, expressive characters each interacting with cupcakes in their own unique way, while the custom Ace of Spades cleverly disguises itself as a cupcake illustration. Metallic pink inks add a subtle shimmer throughout the design, especially on the card backs and tuck box, giving the deck a celebratory visual sparkle without overwhelming the artwork. 

Additional collector and magician-focused extras include gaff cards and a complimentary cupcake sticker packaged with each deck.

Printed by USPCC on classic black core stock with a traditional cut and air-cushion finish, the deck is designed to handle smoothly for gameplay, cardistry, and magic performances. Pledge starts at $12 on Kickstarter.

Deck View: Delirium (Absolute Edition) Playing Cards

Vibrant. Luxurious. Surreal.

Delirium (Absolute Edition) Playing Cards by Giovanni Meroni is the luxurious centerpiece of the Delirium Lost series, combining playful fantasy with premium production.

Exclusive to Kickstarter back in 2018, the Absolute edition shares the same whimsical card artwork as Delirium Ascension, featuring the signature Delirium creatures across the courts, Jokers, Ace of Spades, and card backs. The real distinction lies in its striking presentation.

The tuck box is lavishly produced with deep embossing, shimmering gold holofoil on the exterior, and rich gold foil interior printing, giving the deck a highly reflective, collectible finish. Combined with Giovanni’s bold use of color and layered design language, the deck feels both energetic and refined.

As with many Thirdway Industries releases, the visual identity remains cohesive from box to cards, blending surreal character art with ornate detailing in a way that stands out immediately in any collection. Available now on Thirdway Industries,

Creators: The Magical Art of the Impossible with Magician Jackson Aces

How can a magician still fool us in the most technologically advanced era in history? In this TEDx talk, Magician Jackson Aces explores that question through a series of impossible illusions, including what he describes as the largest grand illusion ever performed on a TEDx stage. 

Blending live magic with insights into perception, memory, and cognition, he reveals the psychological shortcuts that shape how we see and interpret reality. Rather than simply performing tricks, Aces uses cardistry and magic to examine how easily the mind constructs assumptions and fills in gaps... often leading us to misunderstand what we think we’ve seen. 

The result is a performance that challenges audiences to question not just the methods behind magic, but the reliability of their own perception. Filmed in his hometown Sutherland, NSW, the talk marked a personal milestone for Jackson... made even more special with his mother in the audience.
