These cards work like a flipbook: riffle them to see the hands shuffling the cards!
The design of these cards is literally a cardistry move. When riffled or dribbled, the cards will reveal this spectacular flipbook effect.
When shuffled, the flipbook effect will be different every time, causing very interesting sequences.
The deck has 54 different backs, making one beautiful sequence out of the box.
All Aces are custom, and the 3,6,9 and the suits all have custom pips.
The Jokers will have our logo without text on it.
About the ad cards:
The first will have a beautiful illustration showing how the deck is meant to be observed.
The second one is the card that is held in our logo.

This deck created by Bruno Storm Roelofsen who is a cardist from the Netherlands.
“Cardistry is a very young artform, that can be pushed very far. This is my first push, and there are many more to come. Because what I really see is an infinite way to express, impress and explore a whole universe, and it’s all in the palm of our hands.”
We chose to customize the 3, 6 and 9. This has a deeper meaning.
“If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have the key to the universe.”
– Nikola Tesla
You’ve probably heard that there are more ways to shuffle cards then there are atoms on the planet. That means that every time you shuffle the cards you have new order. Every order creates a new flipbook sequence, that after being perceived, will be never seen again. So don’t blink for Blink Playing Cards!
My name is Bruno Storm Roelofsen and I’m a cardist from the Netherlands.
I’ve been doing cardistry for 5 years and I’ve always dreamed about releasing my own cards, and with your help we can make this dream a reality.
The thing I love most about cardistry is creating and getting people excited about it, and these two features can be found in this deck of playing cards.
I want to make more people excited about cardistry. To let them look through my eyes.
Almost every time I show a non-cardist cardistry, they ask me if I can do a magic trick.
I was never really interested in learning magic, so I had to explain cardistry countless times. And I became better at it every single time.
Now the biggest magic trick for me would be explaining cardistry with as little words as possible. Preferably none.
So I created a deck that explains it for me.
With the help from two incredibly talented women, I made a deck of cards that can perform cardistry by simply riffling the cards, just like an old-fashioned flipbook.
Cardistry is a very young artform, that can be pushed very far. This is my first push, and there are many more to come.
Because what I really see is an infinite way to express, impress and explore a whole universe, and it’s all in the palm of our hands.
As an artist, I’ve always been looking for the essence of the universe. Ofcourse it’s very hard to pinpoint what exactly that is, because the universe is so vast, it’s infinite. Cardistry as an artform performed by thousands, all incredibly complex beings, with an object that holds a small mathematical infinity, reflects the universe perfectly in my opinion. Cardistry is always subjective, but follows the objective math rules automatically. So in a way, this deck is merely a reflection of the universe, a tiny infinity.
Just B Cardistry (that’s us!) is about not forcing yourself to be the best, but to just be. All styles are developed by natural practice, which is different for everyone. This is why we carefully selected a number cardists all over the world to make something special with Blink Playing Cards, each with their unique beauty.
Fede Ferrigno is a cardist from Uruguay. Fede’s cardistry is best described as experimental psychedelic rock/jazz. All his moves are do unique, surprising and inspiring. Fede is one of the most dedicated creators who’s also one of the best improvisers out there.
Silas Busk is a cardist from Denmark who’s known throughout the whole community for his super clean combo moves and shocking consistency. Everything he puts out has hours of work in it, making it look very easy. The cardistry he posts is instant eyecandy. Check him out on instagram: @silasbusk
Andrey Akpinar is a cardist from Australia who comes up with border pushing, mind bending concepts. For 8 years he’s in the game, and he’s pushing it ever since. This man never fails to surprise me. Check him out on instagram: @andreyakpinar
Mattis Witte is a cardist from Germany who is crazy about difficult mechanics. He’s only in the game since 2017, and is already making cuts that makes my brain cramp. Check him out on instagram: @mattiswitte
Andrew Shiesh is a talented young cardist from California, who is known for his amazing edits. This video never fails to make me smile and actively excites me. Check him out on instagram: @anjrewz
