MINT Playing Cards are now sold out.



The Launch Edition MINT Playing cards are officially all sold out. MINT 2 will happen eventually, but for now we want to focus our time on improving the new 52Kards App, creating more content for YouTube, and releasing some teaching projects. Thank you everyone who supported MINT!

The New 52Kards APP!

SplitScreen

After many months of planning, development, and BETA testing; the app is finally ready. As of today it can be downloaded for both iOS and Android devices for FREE!

The goal of this app is to pack the entire 52Kards ecosystem into one convenient location that can be accessed anywhere and anytime. We are extremely pleased with the feedback from the BETA testers and are excited to share it with the rest of you now! Hopefully the app provides a great deal of value to you.

P.S. I have a huge favor to ask of you… I wanted to make sure this app was completely free; so that as many of you could benefit from it as possible. After you have had the chance to check out the app, can you please leave a review for it in the Apple App Store/Google Play Store? It would mean the world to me, and I look forward to hearing your feedback on this project!

Mint Playing Cards is 1 year old.

1 Year ago today we launched the Mint Playing Cards on Kickstarter. The project was completely funded in less than an hour and we ended up hitting 3x our funding goal in the first day! In order to celebrate this day I’ll be giving away a Black Mint deck from my private reserve. These Launch Edition decks are now sold out, so this could be your last chance to get one (we still have Raspberries available).

To qualify for this giveaway, simply visit this post on Instagram, and leave a comment below with your thoughts on the Mint decks and what you would like to see in the future for The Mint Collection.

I’ll pick a winner in 1 week and ship out your prize (anywhere in the world).

New Year, New Website!

I’ve been busy behind the scenes working on a new website for 52Kards, and it’s finally ready to launch! Head on over to http://52kards.com to check it out. Any feedback is very welcome! There may be a few bugs and glitches that still need to be worked out, but for the most part everything seems to be running smoothly.

Here are the improvements that have been made:

  • Much faster loading speeds. We’re powered by an entirely new (and much better) platform now so page load speeds should be extremely quick and smooth. Woohooo!
  • More stable server. The site crashed twice in 2016 and at the worst times possible. Our new infrastructure allows us to withstand much higher levels of traffic.
  • New products. Our shop is growing rapidly and we are constantly adding new curated products. We stock only the only best custom playing cards, magic tricks/gimmicks, and accessories.
  • The Blog is back. I dabbled with having a blog in the past but then I stopped doing it. It’s time to bring it back. There aren’t too many posts up yet (only the ones from years ago), but we will now be posting more tutorials, product reviews, performances, and other great content to the blog!
  • Clean/Modern design. Hope you agree 🙂
  • Improved navigation. Easier/faster to browse various pages and products.

New Chapter added to the Mint Deceptions course

Hey Mint Family!

Many of you ordered the premium Mint stripper decks that were available during the Kickstarter campaign. A new chapter has been added to the Edge52 today covering some applications of these tapered cards!

Access the new chapter here – http://courses.52kards.com/courses/edge-52/lecture…

P.S. If you didn’t get a chance to pick up a MINT stripper deck during the Kickstarter, we still have some of them left over and we are finally making them available for sale again today. We only have a very limited quantity of these left over and we won’t be getting any more made until next year sometime.

These premium Stripper decks were prepared by hand by gaffer Jeremy Hanrahan from the Hanrahan Gaff Company. The utility of tapered cards with the MINT Marking System is a DEADLY combo and makes for a very powerful deck of cards.

Mint Stripper decks are now available!

MINT Marking System + Tapered Cards = Weapon of Mass Destruction

For the first time since the Kickstarter campaign, the Mint Stripper decks are now available! We only have a limited quantity of these left over from the Kickstarter and we won’t be getting any more made until next year sometime.

Disclaimer: Since these have been expertly gaffed by hand, the box will be unwrapped and the sticker seal will be broken on each deck.

A few applications for your MINT double facer gaff card

Each MINT deck comes with a double faced card that has a Joker on one side and a Queen of Hearts on the other. I have added two new lesson modules to the Edge 52 course going over some neat applications for this gaff card:

  1. Joker from Nowhere – This is a great extension of Lennart Green’s brilliant Top Shot move. By doing the Top Shot from a face up deck with a double face card, you can make it look like a card appears out of nowhere.
  2. Visual Transposition – The two card transposition is one of the most classic card effects out there. This version uses the double face card to create the illusion of the cards switching places instantly and visually.

Next week I’ll be adding a chapter to the course that covers the use of tapered cards and stripper decks. Stay tuned!

How Kickstarter Works

Here’s a quick video explaining what Kickstarter is all about and how we’re using it to create the Black Mint Deck.

The Black Mint Deck is coming soon!

 

52Kards has had the goal to produce a custom deck of playing cards for many years. The time has finally come to make it a reality.

We are proud to present the highly anticipated Black Mint deck. These playing cards provide a merger of form and function. The elegant back design is aesthetically appeasing the the eye without attracting any unwanted attention; and yet they mask an incredibly intuitive marking system for the clever magician to take advantage of.
