Love Me (Theory11)


"Playing cards hand illustrated by artist Curtis Kulig. Inspired by his iconic campaign in New York, Paris, Tokyo, and Los Angeles.

Curtis Kulig's signature statement 'Love Me' can be seen in galleries and rooftops around the world, as well as collaborations with major brands including OBEY, Vans, and Urban Outfitters. The message is timeless and universal.

Love Me Playing Cards are Made in the USA on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests using vegetable-based inks.

The cards feature an original Ace of Spades, Joker, Back Design, Box Design, Sticker Seal, and Ace of Hearts - renamed the Ace of Love. The box is striking, with vibrant red foil accents on premium, fine-linen paper.

Share the art you love with the one you love." -Theory11

Legends (David Blaine)



"Introducing Legends, one of the most beautiful decks ever printed.
Lawrence Sullivan, a fine magician from Hong Kong, commissioned Mark Stutzman, the brilliant illustrator and artist famous, in part, for his amazing work with David Blaine’s posters and decks of cards, to produce the new design we call Legends. With Stutzman’s brilliant design and a new card factory in Taipei, Conjuring Arts is extremely excited to be able to offer Legends and to honestly say they are the beginning of the revolution on playing card quality.
These cards have a slip factor and snap factor that makes them perfect for flourishes, shuffle work, deals and more or less all types of sleight of hand. They are different from any other decks we’ve felt – neither like current USPCC products nor like old Jerry’s. They are really amazing. The factory we found produces primarily ultra high quality cards for far east casinos and hasn’t produced much previously in our sleight of hand sector. They are quite thin as well but strong and don’t feel “spongy” like many thin backs do. You will also notice that the white border is much narrower than “normal” cards from the US. This is due to extreme precision printing and finishing and due to this perfect registration the deck has an amazingly balanced appearance. These cards also have a glass like edge, like nothing anyone else has ever released (see image in comparison with a Bicycle deck)." -Conjuring Arts
