  • Kardistry.com – A little peek

    For the last few days i’ve been actively developing Kardistry.com working alongside Dan Buck in the entire process.
    It’s been great so far, adding BuddyPress ( BP ) to the installation really helped expanding the DeTube theme’s possibility’s!

    For now, we’ve only enabled the Extended Profiles & Account Settings components and the Private Messaging for admins only – this way we can develop the components on a live site 🙂

    Moving around the standard BP registration was a challange, as Dan wanted the forms small and compact.
    Cheating a little, i used the Bootstrap css to create the dual buttons and add them to the header itself… Need to fix that soon 😉

    Currently im eagerly awaiting Dan’s mockups for the messaging component, which will allow the user to im with each other.

    Developing a WebApp will also be a big component of the site. We really want to give you guys the best expierence possible on both iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and all other mobile devices out there. Since the site is based on WordPress and BuddyPress, and theme switchers are readily available everywhere… It will be an easy thing to do and make this thing superawesomenesscool!

    More info to come soon 😉

     

  • Smoke & Mirrors – The Final Chapter

    A legendary brand of playing cards known across the globe for their style, prestige and excellence.
    Instead of releasing just another edition, we’ve reproduced the entire set combining everything we know about printing cards – over five years of experience.
    It has been our greatest undertaking to date and we couldn’t be more proud of the result.

    The set is just amazing!

    Every detail was reexamined, refined and carefully produced. From the paper stock, to new artwork and even a custom seal that is perforated along the box
    crescent to more easily open the cards. Nothing was left out.

    They are perfect.

    In the beginning, the Smoke & Mirrors were designed to be a personal deck. They were custom tailored to our taste with original art by Si Scott.
    We never imagined they’d be used by so many, let alone the best in the world. For the countdown to the final edition of our Smoke & Mirrors, we partnered with
    the best magicians and cardists across the globe to showcase the style, prestige, and excellence that is the Smoke & Mirrors.

  • Coming soon: Smoke & Mirrors V7

    Back in 2006/2007, i remember first hearing the rumor of a new decks of cards. Bicycle version 2zillion we all thought, but boy where we wrong.
    Dan & Dave, better known as “The Bucktwins” created a deck of cards for personal use but when they saw the light of day… They sold out.

    They simply freaking sold out… Just like all their other stuff does… Print boxers – it sells! Lotion? Pff sure! Big square pieces of cardboard with some ink on it, and then even write their signatures on it to make it WORTH MORE! God i love these guys ( i a non-sexually and gay-way 😛 ) !

    They’ve been teasing us with updates on facebook & twitter for their newest release – Smoke & Mirrors V7 – The Final Chapter.
    Stay tuned.

    From dananddave.com:
    “Developing the Smoke & Mirrors has been our passion for the last six years. We’ve put our heart and soul into every detail and are extremely proud of them. With each new edition, we feel we’ve set a new standard, and this would not have been possible without your support.

    The final edition, the v7, is without a doubt the most exceptional deck we’ve ever produced and an epic finale to an amazing chapter in our life. We’ve been working on it for over a year now and even had new artwork produced by Si Scott exclusively for this releas. The result is amazing and we can’t wait for you to see them.”
