Chris Hestnes and Allan Hagen – Sunday Afternoon

TheCuso — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 23:55:34 +0000

Allan and I decided to shoot a little something. It’s been a long while since we released something. This is just a little something we shot in a very short amount of time, and it’s just for fun. Hope you like;)

tunes: Chrome Shuriken Dragonfire (!) by Gisle ‘Ugress’ Meyer.

Michael Herp – Christmas Eve Card Flourishing

At my parents house for Christmas, so I shot a few flourishes on Christmas Eve. It was extremely dark inside hence the darkness of the footage. Just foolin around I guess.

Hyo – Smoke and Mirror first edition Review

TheCuso — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:28:52 +0000

This a short review of Dan and Dave’s Smoke and Mirror first edition cards by Hyo. I loved the feel of this video so I though you’d enjoy it too.

You also get a glimpse of his Nebula sequence!

The first edition is sold out so probably the only place you’ll see them is at eBay. I got myself a couple of decks back when the Bucks were selling them at their site.

If you collect playing cards and don’t have these yet run or you won’t find a sealed one any more.

Smoke and Mirrors – First Impressions by Jonas Haglund

At first when seeing them, the A-omoro-decks came to mind. For now, I’m sharing most of the negative opinions, but I’ll still be awaiting some proper reviews. I too have a feeling these might look nicer in person.

I agree with the double D-stuff, as much as I usually like those, they didn’t really work here. For me, it’s about the fact that Ellusionist, Theory11, etc advertise on their cards by using web-adresses and such.

I dislike obvious marketing.

Fine if it’s a symbol or such that only people involved will recognize, but not a web-adress. We might be a bit too concerned about it though, this is a very subtle one. I don’t know if any layman will even think about the fact that there’s 2 D’s on the back.

But I also have a feeling the design will look a bit empty if you erase the D’s and the dots, here’s a quick render of that. I get the feeling the center-design will make packet-displays look very nice though, since you get a clear picture of where every packet is.

Awaiting real-life reviews for now, might purchase later.

Dan and Dave – Smoke and Mirror Card Boxes

TheCuso — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:32:15 +0000

These pics have been uploaded to Dan and Dave‘s myspace page a few hours ago.
It seems that we’ll have to wait 3 more days to see the real look of the cards although the feel has already been confirmed as Aristocrat stock.

As far as i’ve seen they don’t look THAT good to me, probably the ace of spades set the bar too high and then i got a bit disappointed with the joker and the boxes.

We’ll see… http://theluxurydeck.com
