Divine Art Playing Cards Giveaway Contest

Unread post by guru »

Hi All,

As you all know I'm seeking funds on Kickstarter for "Divine Art Playing Cards White Gold Edition" ( http://kck.st/2oYThuu" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) which is currently live and is hovering at 26% funded with a goal of AUD $ 18,700. I'm thrilled about this & appreciate the backing of passionate folks at United Cardists along with my previous & current backers, I'd like to offer the opportunity to anyone passionate about playing cards (be it a collector or cardist or magician or even a regular card game player) to win selected decks from my personal collection.

Do you want to win some of the rarest decks of Playing Cards? If yes, then continue to read further.

What's on offer?

1. One brand new & sealed Divine Art Playing Card Limited Edition deck - Funded on Kickstarter in Nov'16, this deck is based on Hindu Mythology, inspired by folk art forms and comes with beautiful gold foil on card backs with gold gilded edges and a very limited print run of 500 decks.

2. One Brand new and unopened Archduke Eagleback deck of Playing Cards - Produced by Rajas Paranjape, it used to be a favorite among both cardists & would be magicians way back in 2010-11. Made on a special & thick Casino Grade German stock, it comes with 2 custom Jokers, a custom Ace of Spades with rest of the cards are standard faces. Out of print from last few years.

3. The best kept for the last. A fully handmade & lacquered reproduction of the Maharashtra pack of cards said to be made in 19th Century by skilled Sawantwadi craftsmen in India. The original deck is now in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
Experts dispute the origin of this pack of cards with the Original Museum entry records 'Mysore c.1780'. This deck is fully handcrafted from the cards to the wooden box, so no 2 decks are same. Comes with 52 cards packed in a handpainted wooden box. This will be a brand new deck from my personal collection of 5 such decks that I got made by skilled artisans in this craft (from many generations) this year.

If you are a playing card aficionado or collector or a cardist or magician, this reward has got something for each one of you.


Here is what you need to do to enter:
  • 1. Answer this "Why do you like a deck of playing cards?" You can answer in one-two lines or via a picture or a video. Pick anything you'd like but get creative ;)
    2. Post the response online via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and do tag two friends who you would like to answer the question above.
    3. Use the hashtag #divineartplayingcards along with the response and be sure that your post/account is public so I can track it down.
    4. Tag @guruplayingcards in the post (optional). If you are using twitter, tag @gurupcc.
    5. If you intend to use any other social media platform, please send the proof of your submission to guruplayingcards[at]gmail[dot]com.
Drawing will take place on the weekend after the Kickstarter funds are collected for Divine Art Playing Cards White Gold Edition (approximately 2 weeks after the project is over). It does mean that project needs to get funded for the giveaway contest's winner to be chosen. No funding means no winner and everyone will be sad :(


Winner will be contacted directly by me to collect mailing information. Based on funding goals achieved by the current Kickstarter, I can add more rewards accordingly. There will be a couple of surprise rewards along the way too.
Note: You do not need to be a backer of the current project (Divine Art Playing Cards - White Gold Edition) on Kickstarter to be eligible for this giveaway contest.
Please feel free to PM me for any question. All the best.

Regards,
Sunish
