LEON PLAYING CARDS
CARD & BOX DESIGN
Client: Chris Mayhew
OBJECTIVE
Dr. Leon Playing Cards were created by acclaimed Japanese magician Hiro Sakai. Hiro has contributed some wonderful ideas to the art of magic over the years, many of his tricks can be found in the Magicana section of Genii magazine. He is well known for his role played as Dr. Leon on his acclaimed Japanese television show. Hiro came out with his own deck of cards based on the persona he played on Japanese T.V., and we were presented with an opportunity to create a new deck inspired from the original.
EXECUTION
The deck of cards simply named, Leon kept the essence of the Dr. Leon Playing Cards, while stripping them down to their most quintessential form. The minimal, elegant design add a touch of luxury and class to any performer's arsenal. The deck was created with the finest quality of stock, and featured an innovative “side-tuck” box which better helped preserve the life the cards from wear and tear, while also made taking the cards in/out of the box a smoother experience.
