Mondrian: Broadway Playing Cards
$14.97 http://www.murphysmagic.com/product.aspx?id=60904 The Hype: Mondrian: Broadway, our newest rendition in the Mondrian series. Based on Piet Mondrian's artwork titled "Broadway Boogie Woogie," completed in 1943. The Broadways have been completely redesigned from the ground up. The Box: Done in a super thick, synthetic, soft touch stock with 4 Pantone colors, each individually letterpressed. This gives each color a dimensional feel. Piet Mondrian's signature is silver foiled along with other elegant silver foil details on the outside. The inside of the box is completely foiled with the Broadway design. The Cards: The cards are printed on a crushed premium stock that is thin yet snappy. Perfect for cardists and magicians alike. The design was created to flow with your flourishes and accentuate the moves. The primary colors are bright and eye-catching, while the subtle cool grey allows for subtle borders. The Ace is done in the Broadway design, and the signature colors are used throughout the court cards. The extra cards included are two Jokers, a double backer, and a blank face. < Limited Edition of 7,500. Once they're gone, they're gone. The first Mondrian sold out EVERYWHERE in less than 25 days. My Take: This is a very nicely manufactured deck of cards. The feel of the cards is excellent. and the deck itself is both colorful and attractive. You receive two extra cards with the deck. One blank face and one double backed allowing you to do many of your favorite card routines. Piet Mondrian was a Dutch artist who lived in the first half of the last century. His style used simple shapes, primary colors, black, white and gray. His paintings were mainly patterns but they were very influential, not only in art but in home decor, clothing and pretty much anything else that you could think of. You all have seen copies of his works. "Broadway Boogie Woogie", the piece this deck is based on resides in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. https://www.moma.org/collection/works/78682 The cards are an accurate reproduction of the original and looks great. I especially love the feel of these cards. The demo video of this deck shows mainly Buck Twin-style manipulations and I feel this is the best use for this deck. Laymen tend to distrust an unfamiliar looking deck while performing tricks but fancy moves eliminates the suspicion. This is a limited release so if you are a collector, lover of modern art or just want a really cool looking deck, grab one before they are gone. |
