The JLB V2 (Silver Edition) Playing Cards

In 2021, JeanLuc Bertrand created the World First Connected and Marked Deck. After the incredible success of the JLB Deck, he is now releasing the second version of the deck. The JLB Deck V2 Silver Edition is now even more versatile and easy to use, including new features for magicians and card enthusiasts.

Designed by Destino, this entirely custom deck combines elegance for collectors and practicality for close-up artists. Destino’s craft and talent mixed with JeanLuc’s working Magician approach deliver a unique tool coated with a sleek art design. 

The Silver Edition comes with enhanced color on the cards along with an Improved surface finish for smoothness and durability. The tuck box is adorned with stunning metallic silver foil and now comes with DOUBLE NFC transmitter. Along with the deck, there is an expanding video library of tutorials for both beginner and experienced magicians.

Like V1, this new version will greatly impact the magic industry. The deck has 4 corner markings, 3 gaffs and 2 duplicates. Also, the JLB Deck holds an invisible technology that will connect it to ANY smartphone with 2 NFC chips built-in on both sides of the tuck box.

This technology allows magicians to share their communication information (social media, business card, and of course impossible magic effects) in a more magical way and at the same time create an even more immersive experience for your audience.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced professional, the Silver Edition will be a valuable asset to the arsenal of your performance. The combination of Card Magic and Technology perfectly blends showmanship and connectivity.

The JLB deck will be printed by Sunwell Industrial Co Ltd on Premium Dark Grey German Black Core Paper Stock and are available NOW on Kickstarter for $18.

Funded in Less Than 24 Hours! Trash & Burn Playing Cards

Trash & Burn Playing Cards is a fully custom deck crafted for daily use by Howlin' Jacks, a playing card company co-created by artist Andy Hamilton and magician Beau Cremer. 

After the success of Ristretto Deck, the guys wanted to create a luxe-feel deck that is so affordable you could practice with them every day! According to the Kickstarter campaign page,

People! Introducing the Trash & Burn deck ('cus practice decks get trashed and burnt)! We've created a reasonably-priced, custom-designed deck, with quality feel and AWESOME artwork! When times are hard, you gotta have an edge. An everyday deck that is anything BUT every day. We've re-designed every element.

 

The deck features fully custom artwork, from Aces, Jokers, to the court and number cards. The Kings, Queens, and Jacks feature trash-diving animal royalty, fed up with their habitats being human dumping grounds. The design changes don't distract the eye but are different enough to give each court its own flair.



The Aces are big, bright, uncluttered, and echo the Tuck's design. And, of course, the Ace of Spades features Howlin' Jack himself! The number cards are updated with smaller pips for easier reading in your fans and spreads.

Finally, the Jokers are none other than the co-founders, Andy and Beau, a complete with a nod to their first deck, Ristretto. 

Both the minimalist-style back design and tuck box features the Trash & Burn logo. Clean and modern! The deck is printed by Sunwell Packing on Thin-Crushed Stock With Air Cushion Finish! 

Pledge starts at $7 on Kickstarter and there are multiple add-ons available such as the Half Brick (6 decks) Trash & Burn Dumpster Box, toy garbage truck, hats, tees, and more!
