On Kickstarter, Juggler (Marble Ruby Edition) Playing Cards

The latest edition of the Juggler deck is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter. The Juggler (Marble Ruby Edition) Playing Cards is already 171% funded with 10 days to go.

Designer Julio Ribera wanted to create a deck that allows us to express and convey things that would otherwise be impossible… to develop our creativity and ingenuity.

The inspiration for the deck comes from a new art form, popular music festivals, that allows you to paint your body with a design similar to a tie-dye T-shirt by introducing your arm in a container with liquid paint.

The marble design element is prominently featured on the tuck box, the mirrored 2-way back design, Aces, and pips.

The colors of the traditional court cards have been updated to match the overall theme and look of the deck. The Juggler Marble Ruby Edition will be printed by Hanson Chien Playing Card Company. Available now on Kickstarter for $17.

Cardistry: JUGGLER SISTINE Playing Cards

SISTINE is the third deck in the Juggler series created by Julio Ribera. This unique deck is a collaboration between Robin Sancht and Julio inspired by the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo, a masterpiece located in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City.

Both Robin and Julio had the same vision with cards and wanted to translate the masterpiece into a very unique and artistic deck. According to Julio,

We have forgotten all the unnecessary details to transform this painting into a minimalist deck focused directly on the main concept.

The card back sports a painted blue colorway with the recognizable fingers almost touching placed diagonally across the backs. This results in a fascinating design making fans and spread looks really interesting.

The face cards are fully custom but compared to the card backs, lacks details. The courts are made up of bust sculpture drawing of various historical figures. With the intriguing artwork on the card backs, a slightly detailed court artwork would have leveled up this deck for sure. The team probably went with a clean minimal look.

The deck is packaged in a minimalist tuck box with the word SISTINE and a vertical line prominently featured on the front. The outline of the fingers place diagonally is featured on the tuck back.

The deck will be printed by the USPCC and pledge starts at €12 on Kickstarter.
