I see that there are many options available such as glossy, premium, metallic, matte, and a few other types of business cards. What are all the differences, and which would you recommend getting?
It's all about your personal style, and the image you want to convey. As one can safely assume by looking at our playing cards, and even product packaging like The Code, we obsess over this stuff. And it's not just superficial - as a performer, perception is everything. The goal is to make every aspect of your performance contribute to whatever experience you seek to create, and that starts with what you wear, your personality, and of course, your magic.
Before that, though - that business card just might be the key to starting that experience, or making someone remember you. What do you want that memory to say? There are endless ways of expressing your style - color, imagery, design, and more. Or maybe you want to keep it simple and classy: Steve Cohen's business card is simple, thick paper with gold foil serif text. It says premium.
With theory11, the goal of our business cards was to be able to give to someone and have them say WOW. So each is crafted from stainless steel, laser etched and punched through with the text and logo. They're crazy, I admit, but very cool!
