The BLRD (Red Edition) Playing Cards

Harmony. Minimalist. Magic.

Red Black Inc released the third and final (for now) edition of the popular BLRD playing cards, in a striking red colorway. The BLRD Red deck seamlessly combines the minimalist aesthetics of the BLK edition with the refined elegance of the foiled Gold edition, achieving perfect harmony between the celebratory Gold versions and the utilitarian BLK worker version of the BLRD deck.

Designed for ease of learning and featuring a challenging yet clever reader system, developed by David Blaine and created by Mathieu Bich, the BLRD Red deck showcases optical illusion card backs (BLRD) that enable remarkably quick identification of each playing card’s value and suit.

The embossed tuck box of the BLRD Red deck is adorned with red foil, adding a touch of sophistication. Additionally, the tuck box boasts a clever reveal that is only visible when exposed to the light from a mobile phone, adding an element of intrigue.

The deck is printed by Legends Playing Card Co on the ultra-thin Viper Finish, ensuring a premium quality feel.

Deck View: Singularity Playing Cards

Future. AI. Holographic.

Singularity by Red Black Inc is the World’s first AI-generated playing cards. This fascinating deck is created by artist and Red Black Inc team-member Fairest.

The cards were created using a variety of early-stage text-to-image generators and tied together by Adobe’s built-in AI features. The courts showcase semi-humanoid Kings, Queens, and Jacks, who rule over the four post-singularity empires represented by the Aces. A world in which humans are diminished to mere court jesters to these new rulers. The deck contains small AI-related easter eggs.

The futuristic deck is packaged in a sleek embossed tuck box with holographic accents kept secured by a numbered seal. The cards are printed borderless on the signature viper-finished paper by Legends Playing Card Co.

Available now from redblackinc.com for $20.48.

SINGULARITY- The World’s First AI-generated Playing Cards

From Red Black Inc, Singularity is the World’s first AI-generated playing cards. Singularity is a hypothetical future point when technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. It is believed we will reach singularity anywhere between 2036 and 2060.

This fascinating deck is created by artist and Red Black Inc team-member Fairest. The tuck and the cards were created using a variety of early-stage text-to-image generators and tied together by Adobe’s built-in AI features. The goal was to give the AI generators as much freedom as possible without sacrificing the deck’s usability. According to the press release by Red Black,

However impressive this new technology is, it is by no means perfect. To achieve this result, Fairest had to create hundreds of images and spend days refining them and tying them together. The artist experienced the generators as a tool in his tool chest. Just like a spray can, Photoshop, a camera, or a simple pencil. Nevertheless, this development will imply a significant shift in the creative industry, just like the introduction of creative software and digital camera.

The face cards feature semi-humanoid Kings, Queens, and Jacks, who rule over the four post-singularity empires represented by the Aces. A world in which humans are diminished to mere court jesters to these new rulers. The deck contains small AI-related easter eggs.

The embossed tuck with holographic accents gives you a glimpse into a futuristic post-singularity World where AI dominates.

Red Black Inc will release 2.048 numbered and sealed decks to celebrate this historic milestone in technological advancement. The cards are printed borderless on the signature viper-finished paper by Legends Playing Card Co. The tuck fits seamlessly together and is printed on the outside as well as the inside.

Singularity will be available on November 20th at 1PM EST on redblackinc.com and cardvolution.com

BLRD BLK (First Edition) Playing Cards

From Red Black Inc, the ingenious BLRD BLK playing cards come in a bold black/white colorway. The deck’s clever reader system is created by Mathieu Bich and developed by David Blaine. It is easy to learn and challenging to spot! Perfect for the working magician to focus their attention purely on connecting with the people they are performing for.

Inside, the court cards are pretty much standard and updated to feature David’s friends and family making up the faces of the court cards as well as David holding his usual position as the King of Spades and the spot cards are pretty much your usual Blaine standards. The BLRD optical illusion card backs allow for a deceptively fast read of the value and suit of each playing card.

Crafted for both collectors and magicians and printed by Legends Playing Card Co. Sold out on redblackinc.com.
