Cardistry - Virtuoso : Liquid Paper feat. the SS16 Virtuoso Deck
Unbeknown to those most outside the magic community, the seemingly insignificant white borders on the back of playing cards have always been considered sacred to the magician. Borders aid in the concealment sleight of hand, especially for close-up magic, and till today are regarded as a necessary feature by most card magicians.
Yet, while Cardistry was first birthed centuries ago from magicians who desired to add some flourishes to their card handling, it in itself contains no magic at all. In fact, while card magic involves the concealment of movement, Cardistry is the very opposite - revolving around the expression and aesthetics of movement and form. In other words, borders often end up obscuring what the Cardist wishes to showcase.
