Card Gear is our monthly feature dedicated to discovering new inventory, setup, and accessories used every day by card designers, cardists, magicians and collectors. The concept originated from the popular social media site, Instagram: #passthepockets. Whenever one of these hashtags come up on the social news feed, there’s always something new to discover, no matter who that person is.
From Stockholm, Sweden, Caroline Ravn is one of the world’s few female magicians. She charms her audience through sharp wit and graceful sleight of hand. It did not take long until Caroline Ravn made a name for herself in the business. Just one year after her debut, she won a Swedish Championship gold medal in Parlor Magic and silver in Close Up Magic. She was awarded “Inspirer of the Year” in 2014 – a prize she was very proud to receive. Caroline performs all over Sweden and across the world as an entertainer, host, and inspirer.
Together with Stockholm17, Caroline is currently funding the RAVN Mani and Sol Playing Cards on Kickstarter! These beautiful decks are fully custom and crafted for both magicians and cardists in mind. They are planning something crazy once they hit the 200% funding goal. Don’t miss out! Caroline’s Gear (Italics are Caroline’s comments):
+ Macbook Air (It’s my Macbook Air that I bring everywhere. I store all my pics, videos and documents in the cloud. That way I can travel with a smaller computer and it allows me to work anywhere.)
+ Apple headphones
+ Wallet (My wallet is not a magic wallet, even tho it probably should be. It’s just a brown leather wallet containing the most important everyday stuff like my visa card, metro card, ID and my movie royalty program haha. I love going to the movies. And not having to pay for popcorn.)
+ Medusa lipstick (I’m not much of a lipstick girl but lately I’ve been carrying a Medusa lipstick in the shade ‘Sugar Daddy’.
+ Studio Fix powder from MAC. (It’s my go-to product that I apply throughout the day. Sweden can get both very humid and very dry and this works for all weather conditions.)
+ RAVN Purple Haze Playing Cards (I never leave my house without a deck of cards. Right now I’m carrying Ravn Purple Haze but soon I’m switching to either Sol or Mani. I’ll probably do Mani first and then Sol when spring is coming.)
