Hello Guys! 

Welcome to the weekly update for the Torch Red Enigma Playing Cards.

So whats happening with the project?

- Cartamundi asked us for more time to make the best quote possible for the deck keeping the custom box - They explained to us that right now they are kinda "exploding" (too much demand from people who want to print decks and events like Blackpool and stuff), so we should have the final quote for the decks between this and/or the next week. 

- Backerkit polls are being reviewed by Backerkit as we speak - we initially thought that the process of making the polls for backerkit was going to be faster, but it seems that they need to review our polls first before sending them to you all, we are just waiting for them to finalize that process so we can send you guys the new polls which includes the option to detail, all the extras that you added on your original pledges and more.

- Extra Cards for the Torch Red Enigma Playing Cards - So as you guys know we have 56 cards on our deck. We decided to remove 1 joker to be able to add 3 extra cards instead of only 2.

The extra cards are:

• A duplicate 3 of hearts
• A Double backer
• A Mystery Card

We think that adding a duplicate, will give you guys way more powerful effects out of the box than any other type of gimmick, you can sign it, do a transposition, do a card to box, card to pocket, whatever your imagination can create with a duplicate out of the box.

We also know that a double backer card is another favourite that you guys requested, so we added it to the mix, a great utility card for the magicians.

We also modified 1 king and added a reveal to it so you can use any force you like and then go into a really cool reveal, take a look! 

We are keeping the last card that we added as a mystery (we hope you will like it, once you finally see it when you open your deck).

Thanks for your time!

Hello Guys!

This is your weekly update! 

So, whats happening with the project?

- This weekend you will receive the Backerkit surveys. 

Those surveys are more in depth (for the people that were asking about why the normal surveys didn't have options for the add-ons, this will have plenty of options) it will let you add all of your original pledges and even extra stuff (if you want to).

- Cartamundi is sending us the official contract next Wednesday. 

This took some time because we fixed everything (templates, colors and design) according to what they needed to be able to print the deck.

- We have decided to wait for the next print run which happens in March (this will delay the project by 30 days) to print the deck.

Why? because that will let us get some extra funds from the backerkit campaign, if we get enough funds, we should not have to modify the project (since we got a lot of dropped backers, we lost a significant amount of money that we needed to get all the bells and whistles that we envisioned for the project), in case we don't get enough extra funds, the part of the project that will be modified would be the tuck box, abandoning the foil and the uv spot print in favor of a normal corlor scheme.

We took this decision because we want you to experience the deck in full glory.

----------

BONUS

Right now i want to show you another part of our next deck "The Axolotl" this is the idea for the Ace of Hearths, its not yet complete (its only a draft) but we think it looks amazing! Next update we will add some of the new cards that are part of the Red Torch Enigma Playing Cards.

UPDATE AND BONUS ;)

Hello Guys! 

Sorry for the long wait, we were waiting on kickstarter to transfer the funds of the campaign to be able to do an update.

We received the funds this last Wednesday and have started production on some of the extras that we offered in the campaign (shirts and close up pads).

Unfortunately out of the $293,250.00MXN we only got $214,365.30MXN (after dropped backers and kickstarter and payments fees), so this might force us to adjust the project, since we ended up receiving less money that we accounted for, this is not set in stone yet so don't worry. 

Whats next? 

· Signing the contract with Cartamundi so the printing of the cards can start (this should be happening next week)

· Send the normal surveys for all the backers (it should also be happening this next week) 

· Set up the Backerkit process and store, (this should be happening a week after the normal surveys are sent, this will give the us chance to get new potential backers, give the dropped backers a chance to get back on the project and give you the chance to get some of the exclusive stuff that we offered on the original campaign, all of this translates into extra funds that could help us regain some of that money).

· Weekly updates, (we will update every week with relevant info on the project and 1 new gimmicked card design from the 4 new cards that were kept a secret in the campaign)

----------

BONUS

So i want end this on a high note.

Right now we are also working on a new deck of cards called Axolotl, i would like to show you the ace of spades of this new deck (we will do a kickstarter for this deck and it should be available on March/April 2018)

THANKS!
