The magazine focussed around the Blank Deck Project, for which Leon Sánchez, Ben Vollert and Adam Broughton created videos exploring how black-backed playing cards could be used to take cardistry to the next level: beyond the realm of just movement. We also interviewed Scott Black, a UK cardist with rapidly growing influence across the globe as a result of his work on isolations. Finally, ISS3 featured an article exploring how pricing has affected and will continue to affect the cardistry community.
