Tendril (Encarded)


"What You Need to Know About Tendril:

  • Tendril is designed by Encarded, a new independent designer of custom cards.
  • Tendril will be printed by The United States Playing Card Company and will be the equal of any of the finest decks out there. Bee Casino grade stock, Q1 quality, Magic finish. 
  • There will only be 5,000 Tendril decks made and it will never be reprinted. 

Design Features


Tendril uses some brand new ideas in playing card design. The goal is to produce a whole new playing card look that is both beautiful, unique and usable. Magicians, cardists and collectors alike will find something to appreciate in Tendril. Here are a few of the highlights:

  • Shadow Borders: We love black decks, but we hate the inevitable edge chipping. So, we created shadow borders which allow BOTH the face and back to be dark, but taper off to a very light gray which will maintain a clean edge for the life of the card. Shadow borders mean you get dramatic coloring, full ability to do reversals, and a quality edge for the life of the card.
  • Face patterns: Who says design and patterns only have to be on the back? Tendril features a subtle variation of the back tendril design on the face.
  • Custom indexes, pip design, court cards: Every element of Tendril has been drawn from scratch. The court pays homage to the Bicycle court, but in a simplified “bas relief” style with dramatic coloring.
  • Organic Symmetry: Frankly, we are a bit sick of seeing obviously symmetrical back designs. Tendril features a perfectly mirrored back design that simultaneously appears completely random.
  • Included cards are: 52 standard Poker-size cards, 2 Jokers with a Pre-Columbian stone carved design motif, 1 Inverse Color Gaff, 1 Double Backer.

Why Tendril is a Great Idea

For cardists, Tendril has bold colors, high contrast and exciting faces which will make any flourish look that much more interesting and dynamic. Bee Casino stock and Magic finish means it handles perfectly.
For magicians, Tendril features borders that will allow you the full range of reversals and other card sleights that a deck with no borders or differing back/face colors wouldn't allow. The bold design of Tendril will no doubt add some visual punch to your card routine.
For collectors, Tendril is a limited deck, only 5,000 made with less than that in circulation." -Kickstarter
