The team at Enigma Cards based out of Monterrey, Mexico is BACK with a brand new version of Enigma Playing Cards. This time, the new version of Enigma deck spots a striking torch red colorway and updated with several enhancements. Founder, Héctor Pérez Bejarano told Kardify,
Since the successful funding of the original Enigma Playing Cards, we have been working nonstop on getting the first version of our deck known in the cardistry and magic community with huge success, so much that people in the community started to ask us if we were thinking about creating a second version of our deck, and on top of that Enigma was featured on Art of Play and the deck is now sold out.
This intriguing deck has been meticulously crafted for both cardists and magicians in mind. Like the original Enigma deck, the card backs feature horizontal traces that were created to maintain and enhance the motion of card flourishes. At the same time, the back hides the marking system of the deck. The deck comes in Mnemonica stack along with two new reveal cards, which allows you to perform miracles right out of the eye-catching tuck box.
On the design enhancement of the deck, Hector said,
When we decided to improve on the Enigma playing cards, we took the feedback that we got at some events (like Cardistry-Con 2017 and several Mexican Magic events) and got to work. We didn’t want to create another simple recolor and we also didn’t want to change what made the deck special in the first place. Hence, we decided to add more features to the deck on top of the feedback our fans gave us.
Design elements that were enhanced include, 3 new custom aces, 2 new reveal cards, the black color on the face cards have been updated to cherry purple and the red colors have been updated with a more striking torch red to keep the balance between colors.
The new version will be printed by Cartamundi on their silky smooth True Linen B9 finish and will be limited to an initial print run of 2000. Available now on Kickstarter, pledge starts at $15 and there are also multiple rewards that are waiting to be unlocked once the project hits its stretch goals. Also, add-ons such as close-up pads, collectible pins, custom Ace t-shirts, engraved collector box and a Cardistry tutorial bundle from the Cardistry Con 2017 world champion, Edgar Isaac.
