(DDDC) the "Deduction" deck

[Don Boyer]

Ok, so it has been a crazy summer but I'm hoping that soon I can jump back into finishing these up and putting them up on kickstarter or card launcher.  I do like the "deduction" angle but wanted to gather some opinions.

Do you guys like the texture on the cards?  Is the "fading" on the courts too much?  Also, since it is suppose the deduction deck I am looking to insert some small minor gaffs that could be used by a magician to "deduce" things.  Does anyone have any ideas?

How can I tell if I like the texture?  It's determined by touch, is it not? 

Faded courts without a faux aged look is actually quite interesting and unique.

2nd look.  YOur rank of card needs to be in the same place in all your cards.  To help, you can modify your suits.  Make them a bit fatter.   Make the suit go around the rank not the other way around.  Here is a reference.  He did it right....  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/goldklangdesign/vanda-playing-cards-redesigned

Notice his "K","Q",and "J", don't move around a lot. 

I would love to see your 10oC.  That's pretty tight....

I'm reworking the indices to make it so that they don't move as much.

Don, is this the kind of idea you were talking about? (which I'll admit I kind of like...)

White background works, but try an unblemished ivory color, or maybe cream.  Also, try a faux texture like antique laid paper in the colors I mentioned.
