Our friend Ondrej Psenicka (well-known for his awesome magical performances for being able to fool Penn and Teller three times) has just released the Butterfly Workers Edition playing cards on Kickstarter.
The beautiful Butterfly playing cards series is known as the most powerful magic deck ever created. The OG Butterflies designed by Stefan Eriksson comes with an edge-marked borderless design and unmarked bordered in the subsequent releases.
Now, Ondrej had decided to release the decks that are dubbed to be “the missing link to the Butterfly family”. The Butterfly Workers Edition is the bordered version of the standard Red and Blue borderless marked decks.
This border is done in white color, creating a standard working deck for magicians to do their magic tricks. Not only that this new deck is bordered, but it will be marked! Having the knowledge of the marking system of the borderless version should make it easy to read the marking system for the Workers Edition.
The tuck box for the Workers Edition is a standard CMYK printed on standard stock. Its design is simple and clean – white background with a line circling around the box with the image of a butterfly with flower patterns on the front and the card design on the back.
The color of the line and the butterfly are based on each color variant. All of the aces featured customized bigger pips consisting of natural flowers pattern. The courts and numbered pips are US standard classic faces with a one-way detail.
The Kickstarter campaign has hit over 600% of its goal of €10,000 and unlocked 3 new colorways- Green, Purple and Black!
Cartamundi will produce the cards on Slimline Stock with True B9 Linen Finish. Pledge starts on $15 for a single deck of your chosen color OR $29 for two decks (one of each OR two of the same color) on Kickstarter
