September 23

Mark your calendar for the release of the Gold Gilded Black Remedies on September 23. We have produced only a very limited number of them.

One deck will cost 25€ BUT you'll get a regular Remedies deck for free on top. I know, right? Who else is doing that? 🌝

More information will follow soon.

And btw. Murphy's Magic begun with the Black Roses Edelrot fulfillment yesterday. What a great week! :D

My work for David Blaine

I'm so excited to finally talk about it. You'll see my work maybe already in the next Blaine deck! Six weeks ago, after the last Blaine deck release I've decided to write db's team. I've said that before, I think the Split Spades and the Gatorbacks are the most beautiful back designs ever. But the faces on the courts always destroy it.

In my first message to Blaine's team, I was already a little confidently bold. I wanted to make it unmistakably clear that there is a problem and that I...

MxS Casino "Stingers"

First things first: I wanna thank you for your patience. The majority of the Black Polyanthas started to ship at the end of last week. That should have happened way earlier but there was a lack of clarity. Because the deck is just for you, Murphy's Magic haven't created an item number for them. Internally, this caused confusion. But all ambiguities have been clarified and the remaining orders should go out this week.

Weekend idea

I wanted to create something retro looking for an ad-card. But instead of doing that I came up with this:


Creating "simplified" court cards is something that I want to do since I started to design cards. Removing all the objects from the court cards is what I do today.

Notice how the QC holds the ...

Queen of Sausage

Quick update first about the Black Polyanthas. The cards arrived at the Murphy's Magic warehouse last Friday. It's very likely that the decks will be shipped from the beginning of the week.

In 2019 when Madison and I started to work on the Remedies, Madison asked me if we could add Suzan as a Queen. At the time, I couldn't get my head around the idea. On one side I thought it w...

The Expert at the Card Table

At the beginning of 2022, Hanjo, the director of the Erdnase movie, purchased my redrawn face card files on my website. For some reason, at that time the downloads had some hiccups, so that no email got send out automatically with the download link. A stupid error, but in the end it was quite positive for both of us.

Hanjo contacted me to get the files and introduce himself: “As a magician and filmmaker, I've been ...

Innocence Holographic Edition

First things first - if everything works out the way I envision, the Innocence holo deck will be the deck for my next Kickstarter campaign. Most likely this fall.

It's been almost a year since I talked about the Innocence holo deck idea for the first time in this post. Quite a few things have changed since then.

I had to part with my original idea and look for a new company to produce thi...

Black Polyantha Update (Tuck Box & Gaffs)

First things first: The cards are already paid and I'll send everything to the printing company this week.

I wasn't sure if the Black Polyantha Tuck Box would really look cool if I just reverse the colors. But the idea grew on me and especially with the matte black paper stock with black core, I found the best options for the tuck box.
Originally I wanted to use white foil to print the roses on the tuck. It's black paper so you can't simply print on the box - at leas...

Pink Remedies Playing Cards

Oh wait, there is "one more thing"...
https://blackroses.cards/products/pink-remedies 

The current idea is to release both decks - Black and Pink Remedies - at the same time.
Both decks will have a limited amount of collector's boxes as well.

And yes, you see right - pink instead of red on the faces!

Orbit CC V2 Design Process

I chat with Chris on facebook and I also send him any progress on that platform. The great thing about the facebook chat is that I can scroll back to 2015 and I can really see every design process of every Orbit deck.

With the Orbit CC V2 deck, everything is a little more compact, as everything was created in three days. I didn't want to withhold this process from you.

There is not even that much to say, just look at the progress.

New website

I've spent the last 2 days with the redesign of my website. The old one was ok but I'm finally happy with the page. Everything looks very classy now. I wanted to wait with the upload until the Edelrot campaign ends but I was too impatient. :D But I don't want to post anything publicly yet so you guys can be the first to take a look.

There are still a lot small things that I need to change but please let me know what you think. Suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Black Roses Mini Decks

Beauties, the mini-decks go online in the Kickstarter add-on section tomorrow at 6am LA time / 9am NY time / 3pm German time.

You never know what happens but I don't think the decks will sell out during the campaign. Just in case, I would like you to have the opportunity to reserve a collector's box first.

I will post an update on Kickstarter about 4 hours after the cards went online so until then nobody else besides you know that the cards are already available....

Black Polyantha Court Cards

Beauties, I have been very restrained here the last few days with new posts. The work on the Edelrot campaign is pretty time consuming and healthwise I have to fight some aches and pains. Nothing dramatic, but it robs me a lot of strength. Anyway, I wasn’t lazy in the last few days. I designed a new Orbit deck that you’ll see this October and I added quite a few new card reveals on the Black Polyantha courts. Your interest in the last post motivated me to really print the deck. There will...

Fantástica

Here is a deck that I currently design for @carolinacabedoilusionista.
I already designed a minimalist logo for her some time ago. The inspiration to use her initials for the logo came from David Blaine's db logo. Many other magicians have already gone wild with this idea, trying to squeeze their initials into a Spade shape, more bad than right. :D But I think I found a good way to make it work. CC ...

I'll take another look in a few minutes but so far I can say everything looks great on the V1s. I'm so happy with the crispy clear faces 😃

The Ace of Spades looks pretty grey on the V1 proof. But that's just because of my photography skills.. 😅

I found three details on the Edelrot edition which aren't correct but I already upda...

Mini decks Update

Beauties, I'm still waiting for USPCC's printed proofs of the Edelrot deck. I should get them this Wednesday. It's a bit annoying because we have lost 2 1/2 weeks already where nothing happened. Precious time that will push fulfillment further back. My goal was to start the Edelrot fulfillment a few days after the end of the campaign. I don't know right now how long USPCC need to print the cards but it will surely take 2-3 weeks after the end of the campaign until Murphy's Magic can start the...
