Carfted for Cardistry, Control Playing Cards by Syb Faes is born from personal reflections on the insidious nature of control. The inspiration for this deck emerged from a deep-seated tendency to control every aspect of life, akin to a puppet master manipulating strings.
This Kickstarter project is a collaboration between Rocio Egio, the talented designer behind the captivating visuals and Syb Faes, the creative force driving the concept. The Control deck comes in three distinct editions to suit every preference and style: the Standard Edition, the Special Edition, and the Holographic Edition. Each edition boasts unique features and design elements, promising an unparalleled cardistry experience.
In the Standard Edition, the court cards in vibrant colors are complemented by four ad cards. With its air S finish and white matte high-quality tuck case adorned with green foil, this edition exudes elegance and sophistication.
The Special Edition features a borderless design that enhances fanning and spreading, making every flourish more visually appealing. Along with 52 regular playing cards and four ad cards, the Special Edition comes in a white matte tuck case embellished with luxurious gold foil accents.
The Holographic Edition offers a mesmerizing experience. Inspired by Chinese Tang Tri-Color Glazed Ceramics, this edition comes with Holograph cold foil on both sides, creating a stunning visual effect.
In addition to offering a captivating cardistry experience, the Control deck serves as a reminder of the dangers of excessive control. As Syb Faes eloquently puts it,
Control is a powerful currency that can easily rob one of their freedom. The Control deck encourages users to embrace spontaneity and relinquish control – a valuable lesson that transcends the realm of cardistry.
The deck will be printed by BPCC and pledge starts at $16 on Kickstarter.
