Vigor Playing Cards is a collaboration between Cardist Alvin Herp and designer/magician Edo Huang.

Vigor Playing Cards are printed on Classic Stock with Royal Finish. Only 2,000 decks for sale to the public.
"Vigor Playing Cards is just my first take on designing a custom deck, like a chance to show people what my own deck of cards would look like. The deck is named Vigor because I think when doing whatever we do in life, we all need a bit of enthusiasm, and we have put a lot of it in this deck. We cannot wait to see people shuffle with vigor as well."
- Alvin Herp, Creator of Vigor Playing Cards
"Vigor is a striking, bold and all around beautiful deck of playing cards. It is wonderful to see how Alvin and Edo kept Cardistry in mind when designing every aspect of this deck. The colors match perfectly, and the simplicity of the design makes it all the more enjoyable to look at. Additionally, and I say this as a Cardist who has never been a huge fan of borderless designs, they managed to pull off just that in a fantastic and beautiful way."
- Julian Stiber, Usagi Creative Studios
"Rad red deck. Edo Huang also needs no introduction. A must for Cardists and collectors."
- Benjamin Loo, Mantecore Playing Cards
"Vigor Playing Cards is the sort of thing this community really needs. More decks based on Cardistry will continue to push us forward as artists."
- James Milaras, Joker and the Thief
"Red and White are good color combinations, and Vigor has it on the back design. The fans look perfect and beautiful."
- Akmal, Three of Clubs (TriKard Projects)
"Simplicity speaks wonders - Vigors have intriguing shapes and easy-to-recognize designs that will shape the way you do Cardistry. I personally love the movement towards cards, specifically for Cardistry. It's not just a step, but a huge leap in the right direction."
- Sean, Idlehands
"The spirit of Vigor Playing Cards is very similar to what I create the BOMBMAGIC. It's fascinating, especially the one-way star in the middle. Spin the card to see how it is amazing!"
- Hanson Bomb, Founder of BOMBMAGIC
