They’re not Tarot cards, and magician Juan G. Perez is making them specifically for use in magic tricks, not readings, but I really like this Hidden Mirrors Eclipse playing card deck he’s trying to produce.
In the Kickstarter video below, you can see samples of the cards and hear Perez explain what’s special about them.
Primarily it’s about the colour. Rather than white cards, he’s making black cards with white borders. He’s designed them himself and I think they’re quite nice.
For magicians, I imagine it would be a great deck to have as part of one’s collection, but I think it might also be really nice for people who do readings with playing cards.
The dark colour adds a depth, and maybe even something mysterious to the standard deck I don’t usually feel. The Aces are really nice, and I like that there’s one card that’s double backed.
I know it’s meant for a trick, but pulling the ‘Eclipse card’ might prove especially meaningful in a reading.
Visit Perez’ page and/or watch his video to see what you think. A donation of as little as $10 will get you a copy of the deck for yourself.
