Thanks So Much CM!!! I always wanted to know how this is done!!! One day, surely even I'll make one deck🙏🙏👍👍👍

That is great to hear! And I'd love to know about it when you do!

@@CardMechanic I was asking myself if You could tell me how to make trowing cards with makeplayingcards.com? I really want to do them, so if you could make that for me, eather film a video and sent me, eather just write, that would be cool. How much do you pay single deck? And, can you make box for cards in witch the cards will come? I sent you an e-mail with same question.

[@nowloading8112]

Hey @CardMechanic , this is a great tutorial but, a tip is that normal bike decks are made in S30 instead of linen. If you are more into cardistry you would want a linen deck but if you want more of a deck for magic or just games in general do S30. Also Beta finish is used for magic and cardistry, gloss finish is used for more of a display deck, and whatever the other one is used for normal game cards like UNO! Just trying to help other people. (I normally use S30 and Beta)

[@nicole_6379]

This is such a good video for someone who is trying to make a deck. And it also is an eye opener to how complex the process is.

[@CardMechanic]

It's not too complex as long as you know what steps to follow

[@Darksoulsboy69]

Just a heads up, if you scroll down in the Properties panel, you can manually punch in 20px for the curve of a shape.

[@magictricks5175]

Man that design is really nice! The purple pips I very much like!!🙌🏼

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks dude! I'm hyped about it too!

[@Alkis05]

This is so cool. I wish there was an online service like that in my country. Delivery + taxes would cost a fortune.

[@AlexG-fm7ml]

PSA!! IF YOU DONT WANT ALL CUSTOM FACES EXCEPT FOR THE ACE OF SPADES AND JOKERS CLICK OPEN LIBRARY THAN MPC LIBRARY AND AUTO FILL THEM ALL IN, U WILL THEN HAVE STANDARD FAVES

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks for adding this in!

[@3heilo]

I had inspiration tonight for my cards. I appreciate this tutorial. Have you tried bicycle customs? I feel if I’m doing this, they have to be minimum bicycle and preferably bee premium stock.

[@CardMechanic]

I’m glad you liked the tutorial. I released my own playing cards using premium bicycle stock. You usually can’t get the higher quality stock unless you print in a high quantity with a company. Hope this helps!

[@tmmagician4101]

6:18 That's the most beautiful back design I have ever seen in my life😂. Just kidding! It was really a great guide. Done with lots of efforts! Perfect!👍🙏🌟😇💜💜. All the very best for the Canis Lupus!💖🌟

[@CardMechanic]

hahahaha! I'm glad you liked it! And thank you, just a couple of more weeks until the release!

[@DavidFan793]

Wow definitely the best guide I have seen so far! Thanks so much for the great vid!!

[@CardMechanic]

You're welcome! Hopefully, it'll help you if you make your own playing cards!

Hello @CardMechanic really enjoyed your video... Just want ask you that i hav downloaded the card faces that you provided in the link but they are in zip format and they are not opening... Would you please tell me how to open it

[@adithyacjayan9271]

I love all the contents you share

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks so much!

[@fadingac3]

This was a very nice video! This was also very helpful and informative if anyone ever decides that they want to look into making a deck of cards! Thank you for going into detail and going over everything we would need to know! Keep up the good work! #Roadto10K!

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks so much my man!

[@MylesMax]

absolutely great thanks so much!!

[@MikaroMagic]

Great video mate, thanks for al the info 👌🏼👌🏼🎉🎉🥳🥳👍🏼👍🏼🥃🥃🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@CardMechanic]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@UnbiasedMagicReviews]

CardMechanic - Can you share the actual files you made of the card faces so people can just start from uploading the card faces to MPC?? I understand the idea of the tutorial for creating custom faces, but a lot of people would benefit from the legwork you already did if you shared the files you made on photoshop of Ekatarinas standard faces.

[@4suits]

These videos are so informative, I love them! Btw, what card stock are your Canis Lupus printed on? It seems that the best stocks for magic (M30, M32) requires an order of at least 1000 decks... Also, do they print them on demand or do you have your own inventory and take care of packaging and shipment yourself? :)

[@CardMechanic]

I’m glad to hear it! I had only printed the prototypes on the stock I had shown. I had them printed by the United States Playing Card Company (at least 1000 decks). And yes, regardless of who you print with, in most cases you’ll need a manufacturer and a distributor. I decided to distribute my cards myself so everything was packaged and shipped out by me. Hope this helps!

[@uliduke495]

Great tut but im using gimp and it makes me select a size for the card fronts do you know what size i should use?

[@kishanrkrishnan8533]

Thank you so much for the video please give us some information on pricing details of MPC

[@AckerKwan]

Great video man. Could I ask a quick question? I am trying to achieve something similar to first prototype with the white borders. Should I select the Custom White Border Playing Cards Poker Size or the Custom Game Cards for my project?

[@divyagoyal1983]

[@Ola.Olchow]

Could you let me know how much it cost you to make the cards it total with delivery costs? Thank you

[@cardperfectmagician]

Awesome! Doing that in 9 days so this was great timing. How long did it take to ship to you?

[@CardMechanic]

I would say that it takes about 2 weeks to arrive

[@PlayingCardsCentral]

Hey, @CardMechanic the measurements you gave for the cards don't work. When you upload them to MPC they are not fully inside the red border. May you help me with this issue? I need to know each one for Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades

[@Crispyeagle2]

Your cards are amazing. Buat what type paper did you used?

[@levimagic3542]

Hi! Im making my own deck of cards. And i want to make a prototype deck but i realised that the uspcc die lines wont work on mpc. So will i have to remake all of the cards without the die lines?

[@showmanmagic]

Thank you 👍 are we able to change the colour of the faces in programs such as gimp? Or can we only do that in the mpc process?

[@alexandraa_salcido_reyess5013]

Wait do you have to print these just to get the cards? 🤔

[@magicpascal]

*Thank !*

[@showmanmagic]

Brilliant video man! Is it possible to have custom colours for the faces with mpc? Or would that come in during final production?

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks and good question! It's absolutely possible, go crazy with your color choices with MPC!

[@SebastianSchachner]

Did you keep all of cards in the red dotted line? Meaning did you keep it all in the safe area and how wide does the boarder turn out then? Would be awesome if you could answer this and this video is quite frankly awesoem

[@JosephTrick]

yess thank you soo much CM i need this

[@CardMechanic]

You're welcome!

[@JosephTrick]

@@CardMechanic already watch this six month ago and now i'm currently making so i rewatch it so i don't miss every great detail on this video haha, going to print one for prototype!

[@thrang_eo]

Re-watched the video. Just curious the cost that goes into making say 1000 decks if you don't mind me asking

[@CardMechanic]

Hey! Good question. I printed through the USPCC and the cost for 1000 decks would be approximately $3800 plus whatever they charge you for the overflow of decks. Hope this helps!

Speaking of design and uniqueness maybe you want to take a look at this newly found game called "Lagim Card Game". It's a strategic type of game wherein you need to defend your baryo against each other. You may visit their FB page and website for more info.

what paper is used in create those cards?

hey when I draw in 819 x 1110 px it's really pixelated when, printed will it be pixelated or not? Also how do I make the size bigger while keeping the same ratio?

[@Mortal_Kinetic0]

Ye I have a similar problem. Do you have an answer a year later?

[@johnconor8698]

@@Mortal_Kinetic0 I was told by someone else that I need to draw at a larger canvas size. and that when printing the size can be changed later. I just draw at a big canvas size and let the printing person deal with the size changing. if you want to know I draw at 5000px in height and 3000px in width for my digital canvas. and I use MediBang Paint Pro. hopefully this helps.
