We had the privilege of getting a sneak peek of the Z DECK before the released at Cardistry-Con and are really excited to see the deck finally released! The team at December Boys brings to life an experimental concept that will take card visuals to a whole new level.
A lot of thought has gone into the design of the deck. Firstly, the borderless back design was created to enhance the flow of all flourishes, fans, and spreads by creating a seamless pattern. Second, the face cards have been simplified to match the backs with only two colors used throughout the deck.
Finally, instead of usual ad cards and jokers, Z DECK features four green double-backed cards. By using a video-editing process called Chroma Keying these additional cards allow for completely unique look of the cards while in motion via post-editing.
The green screen effect is a post-production technique for compositing two images or video streams together based on color hues. There is a secret link provided on the tuck box to get access to a free instructional video on easy and fast editing on Mobile and PC, as well as exclusive cardistry tutorials by December Boys.
