THE FLOURISH LAUNCH EDITION
We present to you The Flourish Magazine - The first physical magazine in English on cards that link between cardists and uninitiated!
For the first issue, we met Huron Low of the Virts that plunged us into the history and manufacture of the Virtuoso brand and playing cards. One of the co -founders explains to us what to do to become the largest brand of cartomancy in the world.
Learn the history of cartomancy with Kevin Ho, discover how the Fontaine cards influenced the design of playing cards with Pablo Frey, learn how to present cartomancy to laymen with Christiaan Hau, Explore the world of DIY toys WORRY Bricks, Luke Wadey's innovative cards designs and meet some of the cardists you know and love to find out how they create, film and think of the cards.
Flourish magazine is accompanied by a collection card representing a talented cardist from the community. This issue presents Nikita Yatsik, a very talented Russian cardist. Nikita shines with her incredible creativity, managing to create unique cuts that always end up surprising you. This is why we decided to interview it and present tutorials for 5 of its frills in the magazine.
