I'm planning on launching my Rare Triumphs tarot on Kickstarter next week. It will be an extended version of my Pike and Clover playing cards with the addition of the trump suit (and knights). With old-style artwork in the manner of the Marseilles tarot.

If you want to hear about the launch, you can sign up here: https://mailchi.mp/44db14806f8f/skadipress

The cards are lovely!  So subdued!  This is a wonderful twist to TdM, good luck with  your sales.

I’d highly recommend them - really lovely cards!

Love them. Slipperiest deck EVER though, One card went so far it took AGES to find it - be very careful when opening !

Thanks a lot guys for your support!

 

Yes they certainly are rather slippery and can go flying! It does mean the cards are nice to shuffle though, I think ...

How did you shuffle them without their going flying ? (serious question; I need to find my fanning powder !)

The same as you shuffle Squeezers, Bees or Tally Hos...they riffle and bridge perfectly. No fanning powder needed. 😉

But they fly.... All OVER the place.

Mine don't. I put my thumbs on the ends that go together, hold the other ends with my middle and ring fingers, push down the middles with the backs of the top phlanges of my forefingers, and riffle. Then I bridge.  Nothing ever goes flying.

Are you doing it that way or differently?

I riffle. I can't bridge. EVERY deck flies if I bridge !

Can you see this? It won't upload here, my internet is too slow.
I stink at videos, but this is how I do it.

Can't see that unless I sign in to google.....  (I Do Not Do That if I can avoid it.)

 

And when I do I get:

 

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

Trying youtube. It's taking awhile, we'll see...

Success.
It took forever to upload a 12 second video. This backwater town needs fiber. 🤬
