What is the Butterfly Try-All Set?

We are beyond excited to present to you the Butterfly Try-All Set. It is a set of three decks of Butterfly Playing Cards created with one goal: to get to know you better.

The Butterfly Try-All Sets will be available on September 12 at 5 PM Prague time.

Find out everything about this unique project below.

We'll start with the most important. Why?

Getting feedback from the community has always been one of our main priorities.

What cards do you like? Do you prefer them thin or thick? Do you like them soft or when they have more spring? That’s what we want to find out.

And that’s where the Butterfly Try-All Set comes in. This is a set of three decks of Butterfly Playing Cards with a completely identical design, but each deck is printed on a different stock.

Why do the decks look the same?

Design and how things look influence our opinion. We prefer things that look pretty to us. If there are a few objects to choose from, it’s natural to have the subjectively prettiest thing as your favorite. At some points and to some extent, even regardless of the quality.

In this project, we want to focus on the cards themselves, their feel, and handling. We want to take the preference out of the equation, and that’s why all three decks look the same.

Another reason we used the same design across the decks is that different inks and their amounts also influence the feel of the cards. The more the ink, the bigger the effect.

The decks have standard faces so you can use them for magic and cardistry, and take them everywhere with you.

Let’s talk about the stocks.

We produced the Butterfly Try-All Sets in collaboration with Room One for the Asia Card Convention 2025. They use three stocks for their playing cards, and we used those for this set.

• 270gsm Sleight stock
• 290gsm Afflux stock
• 300gsm Elite stock

Each deck is marked with information on the back of its respective tuck box. We even included the thickness of each stock.

We want to hear back from you!

After you get the decks, open them, play with them, put them under a proper test, and then let us know what you think.

Each deck includes a card with a QR code that will take you to an online form where you can tell us what you like and don’t like about each stock. Don’t worry, we kept the form short so that it won’t take you too much time.

A gift from us…

The form will close on October 31, 2025. We will randomly select one person who filled out the form to receive a prototype Butterfly Try-All Set! We received two and opened one for photos. Only five exist in total.

How does this affect the future?

Once we gather all of your feedback, we’ll find out which stock is the most popular, the crowd’s favorite, or as we like to call it, the People’s Champ.

We will use that stock for the second edition of these cards. We will change the colorway and the tuck box to make it easily recognizable from these sets. That brings us to the quantity.

There are only 500 Butterfly Try-All Sets.

On the cards, you will notice that the S.300 decks have 1000 units. That’s because of the minimum print run for the 300gsm Elite stock. The 500 remaining S.300 decks will be released at the beginning of November, after the voting closes.
