Fantastica Playing Cards is a fascinating deck by Chilean magician, Carolina Cabedo (Instagram: @carolinacabedoilusionista. This deck is a milestone for Carolina, being the first Chilean magician to produce a deck. This deck is a tribute to the Circus.
Fourteen years ago, Carolina was introduced to the world of magic as a magician’s assistant in a traditional circus. She fell in love with it. Carolina told Kardify,
To see the audience’s reaction, especially the kids, stole my heart. From there on, I started studying magic 24/7 and became a magician myself. That’s why my first deck is a tribute to the Circus.
Inside, the deck comes with custom court cards designed by Daniel Schnieder. On working with Daniel, Carolina continued,
I love Daniel Schneider’s work. I only use his decks for work, since they are so amazing and go so well with my style. I’ve been in touch with Daniel for a few years and he became my sponsor, and when I approached him with this idea, he was on board from the first second and interpreted completely what I wanted, he’s a genius. I couldn’t be more happy and proud to have him as the designer of Fantastica.
The back desin is a heart created with the C’s of her first and last name Carolina Cabedo. The Ace of Spades features a Circus tent, and from Carolina’s Red hat, you can almost see the rabbit. The Jokers are inspired by the kids that grow up in the circus, learning everything and doing every task needed from an early age. Carolina mentioned,
I’m so happy to reach this milestone, to be a Female magician and continue to break boundaries. I’m really thankful for the reception that Fantástica has had this day, now only around 300 are still available on pre-order. So thanks so much to everyone!
Fantastica is printed by the USPCC on Premium Bee stock, traditionally cut, Air Cushion finish. Limited edition of 1,000. You can pre-order now on blackroses.cards for $14.
