Currently seeking funds on Kickstarter, the Foliage Playing Cards are conceptualized by magician Sam Porter and illustrated by magician and graphic designer Nick Vlow. The deck was designed to mirror the natural beauty and aesthetic of the Earth’s forests.
The color palette of the cards is a deep, forest green with earthy brown colors on the face cards. The two-way back features a tree and vine-work pattern. The deck features custom Ace, card backs, recoloured courts and a pair of jokers.
A double backed card is included. Additionally, the deck was designed in classic style, so it will seem familiar to magic spectators.
On how the idea turned into reality, Sam said,
After drawing several sketches of my idea, I contacted Legends Playing Card Company. I was given a list of graphic designers and eventually settled on working with Nick Vlow, a fellow magician. It was a pleasure to work with him and the artwork turned out better than I had ever imagined.
Pledge starts from $10 and will be printed by Legends Playing Card Co. Foliage Playing Cards are now LIVE on Kickstarter.
