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! :DMuch loveDaniel

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 can fix that. It took a few messages...

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.MxS Casino "Stingers" - another future release we are currently working on. In reference to the Bee Stingers with ...

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 rose. That's something I did a few days ago. It's only a small detail but after so many decks I got so bored how the standard Queens hold the flowers in their fists. A lot can go wrong when you redraw hands on courts but I think this is a...

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 would be too silly and too far away from a serious deck for magicians that we want to create. On the other hand, I had no idea how to implement it.Not long afte...

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 working on a docudrama about 'The Expert at the Card Table' for the past few years. You may have even heard of it. ... ...

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 this deck with me. Of course my first thought was USPCC. They inspected the back design and told me that the dots would be too thin for their MetalLuxe foil. I ...

Black Polyantha Digital Proofs

I received the digital proofs in the night. So far everything looks great but I'll take a closer look later today before I approve everything for print.Tuck box outside:Tuck box inside:Faces:Backs:

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 least I thought so. The roses are too small to get printed with foil....

Pink Remedies Playing Cards

Oh wait, there is "one more thing"...https://blackroses.cards/products/pink-remediesThe 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.I created the last two images because Chris told me clouds wouldn't look like that in front of the sun :D This...

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.http://www.blackroses.cards

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. 2-3 people could probably see it if they happen to make a pledge during this...

Exclusive Black Roses V1 Collector's Box

The Black Roses V1s will go online in the Edelrot Kickstarter campaign in a few hours (9am LA time / 12am NY time / 18:00 German time).

Feel free to send me suggestions for improvement if something is not quite clear. I have tried to make everything as understandable as possible, but sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.2 days to go! :)Much loveDaniel

Edelrot Kickstarter Rewards

For your visualization, here are the individual rewards that will be available on Kickstarter from the beginning.

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 be only 500 which will be Patreon exclusive but I’...

Black Polyanthas (Patreon Exclusive)

Beauties, this is just an idea right now but it could become reality very quickly. Let me know your first impression in the comments.Much loveDaniel

Patreon Exclusive BR V1 Collector's Box

First things first - make sure to hit the notification button on the pre-launch page if you haven't done it yet. 50 followers would be sweet before I post it publicly.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/danielschneider/edelrot/The start date is early July.The Black Roses Edelrot Kickstarter campaign will be my shortest Kickstarter campaign so far with only seven days. I think seven days is the best time period to keep the momentum going. Besides the Edelrot deck and the white signature edition you'll also be able to pick up the Black R...

Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page is Online

Beauties, Kickstarter just approved my campaign so I could finally create the pre-launch page.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/danielschneider/edelrot/Please click on the link and hit the notification button to follow the campaign.A good number of followers ensures a good launch and makes me not tremble with excitement over the next few weeks. :DI will post this link and the first images publicly tomorrow.The next few weeks will be exciting again. I couldn't do anything of this without you. Thank you so much for your support!This is the...

Black Roses Casino V1

UPDATE: The cards are sold out. Thank you so much for your interest!Beauties, it turned out that 31 non sealed Black Roses Casino V1 decks have hidden in the Murphy’s Magic warehouse.The first 20 decks are limited to two per person. All remaining decks will be limited to one per person.I have no clue how fast the first 20 decks will be gone. Could take 60 seconds, 24 hours or even longer. With the limit I just want to make it fairer. If all decks are sold out quickly, there will probably be one or two of you who don't get the chance to pi...

Cold Foil Black Roses Hotel Trailer

Check out the trailer filmed by Kier Gomes.https://youtu.be/Jnhyt3_-Yq0Kier, much love my friend.

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 for Carolina Cabedo:She and her boyfriend - both proud bearers of a Black Roses tattoo btw - came to me with the idea of a minimalist cold foil d...

Edelrot & V1 Printed Proofs

I finally received the printed proofs.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 updated the files and USPCC will hopefully replace them today so that they can start the production asap. The red on the back of the Edelrot edition is a bit darker th...

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 fulfillment. Of course, still no...
