Cardistry: 5 Things You Didn't Know About Technique Playing Cards By Chris Severson

Conceptualized by Chris Severson (@chriscseverson) and recently announced during Cardistry-Con, Technique Playing Cards (@techniqueplayingcards) is an innovative deck that will revolutionize the way cardists create and expand flourishes. Here are 5 things you didn't know about the deck:

1. The Technique deck is designed specifically to help you create Cardistry instantly! It has been two years in the making and went through multiple design iterations to get it just right.

2. On the design inspiration, Chris said, "Technique came about when I was talking with a good friend of mine about motion and movement with cards. This conversation is what sparked my interest in trying to find a way to quantify Cardistry in a physical way, (i.e. a card design). About 15 minutes later I came up with the basic design for Technique and put colored dots on single cards and taped them onto some trainers to see if they would work! A few years later we are here!"

3. The deck consists of 5 back designs with a rotating border of color. Each color is parallel to its mate. The location of these colors are based on the most common edge grips in Cardistry.

4. How does it work? "The basic use is to pick one of the five colors on the back and that is your contact point. Each time you break off a new packet, you reveal a new back design and also a new location for your chosen color, forcing you to grab only that color(s) and putting you into random positions every time you break off a new packet!"

5. Available for as low as $12! Take your cardistry to the next level! This innovative deck is now available for pre-order from www.techniqueplayingcards.com!
