Cardistry: Find Out More About AMCM. Mexico's Inaugural Magic and Cardistry Event

AMCM (Abierto de Magia y Cardistry México) is a Magic and Cardistry event held in México City on April 28, 2018. This inaugural event was jointly organized by the AMCM team (Mano Santa and Enigma Cards) for the Cardistry and Magic community in Mexico. AMCM was designed to be the equivalent of Cardistry Con, the event was sponsored by Cartamundi, Art of Play and Cardistry Touch.

The one-day event brought the Mexican magic and cardistry communities together and everyone interacted with each other, share new ideas, display moves, and tricks and meet new people. Hector Perez, founder of Enigma Cards told us,

Our intention was to unite both communities to help them grow. We had more than 100 people a the event, and had the fortune of having Cardistry Touch as well as part of the Chilean Cardistry Community at the event.

During the AMCM event, there was Magic and Cardistry exhibitions courtesy of Cardistry Touch and Mano Santa. On the same day, there were 5 different deck reveals- 2 by Enigma, 1 by Mano Santa, 1 by Sunrise Playing Cards and 1 by Cardistry Touch!

Finally, Cartamundi produced a one of a kind commemorative deck exclusively for the Mexican Community, the Gran Reserva Deck (only 150 exists!), sporting a True Linen B9 finish and the colors of the Mexican flag.

Participants of the event got to bring home a deck. For those who are interested, there are some Gran Reserva Decks still available at the Enigma Cards store, all the proceeds from selling GranReserva Decks go directly to fund next years AMCM event.

On the future of the event, Hector said,

It was the first of many events to come we hope next year it is even bigger and has more surprises.
