Kickstarter: 3 Questions with Jason of Seers Laetus Playing Cards

Saxon and Jason have been friends for many years and attended the same high school. They would play with cards and show each other tricks and flourishes. One day Jason suggested to Saxon that it would be fun to make their own deck and give back to the community. That was in the GCSE year and they spent all of that time to conceptualize the deck. Then early in their A-Levels year, Jason and Saxon launched the Seers v1. Jason told Kardify,

Although Seers V1 didn't fund I kept on designing with Saxon's support and developed the Aspectu design and then the Laetus as well as more exciting decks for next year and following years! Although most are still just ideas!

Seers Laetus is the third deck by Seers Playing Cards currently seeking funds on Kickstarter. The contrasting colorway combined with the geometric card backs makes this deck truly striking. Crafted for cardistry, the deck offers two different rear fanning designs that will make flourishes stand out. The pips and indices are custom and the courts are pretty much standard with updated colorway.

Last week, we had a quick chat with Jason about the inspiration behind Seers Laetus, the community, and their favorite flourish and deck.

What is your inspiration behind the Seers Laetus Playing Cards? How did you come up with the idea? 
As I said on Instagram Saxon hit me really hard with a big stick! No, I was looking at playing cards online and thought 'wow I have an idea!' after some adjustments to he initial design (spanning over a few weeks) we had a back design down, it's a bit of a boring story but it is the truth.

We first noticed Seers Playing Cards on Instagram. What do you think of the community in terms of the feedback and support that you’ve been getting? 
Our community on Instagram (@theseersplayingcards) is especially friendly we always receive a great amount of support. Especially with our new decks. Our community and the general cardistry community on Instagram is absolutely awesome they are very helpful for us!

Finally, what are your favorite flourish and/or playing card decks?
My personal favorite flourish is the riffle fan, and my favorite deck is the Magus we plan to release next year, Saxon and I both love the Orbits they're amazing!

Thanks for your time, Jason! The Seers Laetus Playing Cards will be printed by the USPCC and are available NOW for $10 on Kickstarter.
