Some creative people, Magic Realist Press.

 Here is the Baba Store:

I love their products.  They are the same people who are behind of Magic Realist Press.  They have a lot of interesting products.  I have a soft spot for their tarot.  Their latest publication is the Alice Tarot.  I love the box.  It is really creative.  It open up like a small jewelry box.  It is also sturdy.  What I like the most is their cards.  It is really amazing what they can do, on the visual side.  It must have taken them a lot of time to end up with so much beautiful picture.

They have a channel on youtube.  Here is a few videos:

In those last two videos, we can see two previous and gorgeous tarot deck they made.  The first is the Tarot of Prague (out of print but oh a so beautiful collage!).  The second one is the Bohemian Gothic tarot (this one is my favorite, even if their other tarot are as stunning).  The Bohemian Gothic is also out of print, both editions.  I think they have a good reputation and  makes beautiful fast selling decks.

I like to encourage small presses.  Magic Realistic Press is one that deserve all applause.  Until now, always been happy to buy their deck.  I am really pleased with the deck I got from them.  I didn't expected to like so much their latest (the Alice tarot) until I got it in my hand.  I haven't used it yet but I will sure study it in the near future...
