HOW IT STARTED 🌠

One hundred and seventy three. That іs how many submissions we received from artists worldwide for a contest to design our new deck of cards. 

As dedicated disciples of cardistry and sleight-of-hand since 2009 we are recognized for nailing knuckle-busting moves, teaching our original flourishes, documenting Cardistry-Con meetups and, lately, exploring new dimensions in this performance art with our signature ((green cards)) concept. The latter allows you to chroma-key any footage onto your cards bringing them to life and thus creating mesmerizing visuals.

Ever since our first Z Deck sold out, we already knew that we should take it to the next level. This time, heavily inspired by the 80s and vaporwave aesthetic, we aimed for a nostalgic, retro futuristic look. 

HOW IT'S GOING 🎬

Together with talented artists Emir Aličić and Ega Elanda we designed Z Deck v2: retro, consisting of 52 poker-sized designer playing cards & 4 ((green cards)). Explore their potential and join the movement by backing this Kickstarter campaign.

This time we wanted to make sure every backer has a chance to get a few ZDV2: retro playing cards at a reduced price. Consistently, this will be a very limited run (about 2,500 decks) with only a few hundred overprints potentially coming to retail shelves at $15 per deck or higher later this year.

More details coming soon. For all the updates subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Insta and YouTube for exclusive photos and videos with ZDV2: retro. Kickstarter launches January 1, 2021!
