Custom Playing Cards

Hi again! today I'm gonna talk to you about custom playing cards

Types of custom playing cards

This decks called by edition names and sometimes come as part of a series.
This decks are more costly than the usual decks but they usually designed for more seasoned (and little richer ) card magicians. They frequently used in shows and performances due to their design and special illustration. The quality of this decks is often superior to the usual decks in terms of smoothness, thickness and other little adjustments that important for the professional performer). As I mentioned before, the most visible thing about this cards is their design (often there is a secret writing on the side of the deck or something stylish about the design of some cards). The back of the card has it’s own special decoration and some face cards & aces get their own feel.
There are some custom playing cards that provide special magic cards (like the Gaff deck) . This cards have their unique illustration on the face of the card.

Welcome to House of Cards Blog

Hi, my name is Sin and welcome to my blog!

This is my first post here on blogger, and I want to introduce myself and explain what I will talk about here.

So, like I mentioned above, my name is Sin, I'm a photography student and a card enthusiast.
What does that mean? Card enthusiast? Well, I'm glad you asked (even if you didn't :P).

From an early age I fancied card games and tricks, I collected different kind of decks because I liked the different illustration on them. When I grew up I enlisted to the army, there I met a friend who was a card expert.  He knew many tricks and did some very cool stuff with his hands. I got intrigued and started to learn from him. Today, 3 years since then, I learned a lot more and got better. I found it a great and beautiful art, a great way to relax and focus because it requires peace of mind and concentration in order to perform well. 

Here in this blog I want to reveal for you the wonderful world of cards tricks and magic, from a point of view of a beginner, the same spot that I started from. I hope you will find in this world a great hobby and maybe even more.

I created a site - House of Cards, just for that purpose, to help beginners and enthusiasts in their first steps, show them other forms of the art and hopefully create a small community of card handlers and magicians.

In this blog I will post the news about my site and a more personal notes, and of course  some of the tutorials I publish on my site.

With this introduction I welcome you to my blog and site, have a nice blogging!
