Awesome! Thanks for the support!

Hey everyone when you pledge on Saturday if you would please share and spread the word on social media. There is the section at the end of the pledging process that asks to share on social media. I heard this helps projects maintain a higher viability on Kickstarter.

Thanks!

Hey Everyone, just a quick reminder about the Black Widow Playing Card Project tomorrow. Saturday the 22nd at 1pm Eastern.

Great Early birds and also price discounts on multiple deck combos.

Thanks again for all of the support!

Hey Everyone, I am now live on Kickstarter! Here is the link to the project. Thanks again for all of the support!

With the new project a deck of cards starts at $13.00 and with many combos the cards get as low as $12, $11, and $10 per deck. We had a great first day and are already 20% funded. Lets keep spreading the word and I know we can make this project a success. Thanks for all of the support!

Hey Everyone,
We are off to a great start! We are 30% funded just after the first few days! I really appreciate all of the support! All of the positive comments and messages from everyone have been amazing. We are getting closer to the funding goal each day. Lets keep moving forward and start working on the amazing stretch goals.
I also wanted to share with you the features of the handmade cigar style card box. Backers of the box can choose between a red box or the black box. You can add the box to your order or take advantage of the early bird reward which gives you a discount on the box and two decks of cards. Only 7 left of the Card box early bird.
Thank you very much for all of the support.
Please keep spreading the word to all of your friends and family.

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know we had a great day yesterday and we are now up to 39% funded. We still have 29 days left. Please keep sharing and spreading the word about the project. I know with your help we can do it!

Jamm - I saw your video. Anything around 2 mins is good. YOu were high on giving information.

2nd look. It would be really cool if you put a black widow with a line of web under your suit index. It goes with your theme. You might see an uptick in your Kickstarter.
Overall, you're high in Playability. Low in Creative and Wow factor.

Notice your expressions on the courts need to be more pompous. Ppl might not like the faces.

Your BackOfCard needs a little work...

I think the court cards really look good. They are very playable. The back design...meh. Seems like the funding goal is stuck at 39%. Still really expensive for international customers.

Hey thanks for the feedback, I would have to say my international pricing is comparable and many times cheaper than other deck projects on Kickstarter.

Kings Wild Army Playing Card deck Add-on: $12 International / per deck
Uusi Classic Add-on: $12 International / per deck
Mana Playing Cards No.3 : SYBIL Add-on: $11 International / per deck, 2-3 decks $14, 4-5 decks $19

Jamm Pakd Cards Black Widow Playing Cards Add-ons: $17 International / per deck

I understand what you are saying but I am not that far off compared to other deck projects. You have listed 3 companies compared to my project. I have compared many projects when I factored my Int shipping.
Also on some of my rewards themselves the initial cost for international orders are lower therefore I have to charge more for add ons.

I also went back in my records and looked at what it actually cost for me to ship internationally.

I appreciate the feedback and I will continue to learn and evolve as a deck company. I will continue to look for ways to bring down shipping costs in general and focus on international shipping cost.

Again thanks for the feedback and thanks for the support!

Back of Cards!

Hey Everyone! We are doing great! We are up to 41% of the funded goal with 24 days to go. Support the project and order a couple decks, card protector coin and the handmade playing card case. Please keep spreading the word of the project to all of your friends and family. Go to the project link to order your items.

Its venom is reported to be 15 times stronger than a rattlesnake's.

In humans, Black Widow bites can bring on nausea, muscle aches, and make breathing difficult for those who do not respect the ruby-red hourglass warning.

Black Widow Playing Cards is perfect for magicians and cardists who want to capture the attention of their prey. Ensnaring their audiences with its metallic red foil web, and the tell-tale hourglass adorning the card backs.

Feel the power as you destroy the custom red fly seal.

Let the printing design inside the tuck, surround you... wrap you... with its macabre beauty.

Available soon at your favorite Murphy's Magic retailer.

Nice.

Funny enough I was just thinking about these cards the other day.

Will hopefully pick a few up at some point

I like the tuck, but the mostly standard courts kill it for me.

This was a prior Kickstarter project. Merged the topics.

Looks like Murphy's is mining old KS projects that didn't secure funding but which nonetheless had some solid fundamentals.

Can we make suggestions to Murphy's? There are definitely some better unfunded KS out there then the last few they've selected.

I'm really happy to see this printed.

Like these!!
But more on topic I'm pretty sure I backed these and was sad to see it fail. Too bad Murphy's keeps spamming UC with links to buy stuff that we can't buy.

Nah. I'm sure http://playingcarddecks.com or http://penguinmagic.com or http://jpgamesltd.co.uk will have these soon enough.

But, yeah, if anyone can find anyone at Murphy's who will listen, they are obviously making this a part of their business model... I would hope suggestions would be well received when made by potential buyers, no?

Just start a murphys suggested decks thread?

Yes I agree. There definitely are some CURRENT Kickstarter project that won’t fund that are worthy of making it to print. They just need to have a look at CURRENT projects that might need just a little help meeting it’s postential. There are probably some good CURRENT projects out there. Let’s have a look.........

If you or someone you know has a deck and they are interested in working with Murphy's, please submit all information here: https://www.murphysmagic.com/submitatrick/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
For the required video, please send a short video showing off your deck.

We are strictly a wholesaler of magic. we do not sell directly to the public as a commitment to back all of our retailers/ dealers around the world. Being the first to learn about new magic and decks though, we make it a point to share information with the community. Any decks you see us mention are new or upcoming, so always feel free to reach out to your favorite retailer and ask for them. We provide the links to our page so that you can take a look and make an educated decision if you want to contact your favorite retailer or not. we hope you find the information helpful!

Hey, there, Murphy's Magic: Thank you for engaging with us in this conversation!

rousselle wrote:Hey, there, Murphy's Magic: Thank you for engaging with us in this conversation!

I agree. And sharing information about new playing cards should not only be highly encouraged but is also the reason many of us are here (except Victor.. )! So please don't stop posting. My only issue is when you share a link saying "available here" it's actually NOT available there. I guess I'm splitting hairs but please try to put yourself in our shoes: Here's a post of a nice new deck that I want! And look, there's a link where I can buy it! OH WAIT, I can't buy it . Not cool.

Thank you for your feedback. We try our best to never post that it is available "here" (at Murphy's) but instead at your favorite Murphy's Magic retailer. If ever a "here" situation, we try to make it clear that it is only for more information. We do post the link to our site so you are able to find more information easily. We are sorry if that caused any confusion making anyone think it is available through us, but we try our best to clearly state it is available at any of our retailers.

Hey Everyone,

I am offering an **Exclusive Limited Edition Coin/Card Combo** only on my website now while supplies last.

There are only 53 limited edition coins produced. The Coin/Card Combo will include one numbered coin and one corresponding numbered deck.

I know I had many supports of the past Kickstarter Black Widow Project and I am excited that it has now come a reality. As all my backers and supporters know that I dont give up easy and I really wanted to see this project come to life and I know my supporters did also. So go now to JammPakdcards.com to get a couple decks or a limited edition coin/card combo.

Thanks again for all of the support over the years.
