Tungstene (Dan and Dave)




"The lightbulb is a symbol for ideas and tungsten is the element that allows them to shine, physically speaking that is. With that said, brighten your magic with these new cards.
The back design depicts earth bursting with ideas. Each card represents a different thought so we invite you to scan the quick response codes on the back of each card as they will lead you to further information. The Jokers and court cards are based on actual people. The Jack of Spades, for example, is a tribute to French magician, Dominique Duvivier. There is a small labyrinth on an extra card to remind us how difficult it is to find a good idea and with this deck we challenge you to do just that.
Produced for the artists private use and never intended to be sold, only a limited quantity will ever be available. Designed in France by Jacques Denain and Henri de Saint Julien. Printed by the US Playing Card Company." -Dan and Dave

The Watcher is the second deck produced by Misdirection's Mystery, a magic group consisting of young students based in Taiwan. The stock is locally manufactured and also used by Australian Casinos.

Three of these are not included in the original sealed deck, but we'll be giving them out free with every purchase.

Doomsday (Diamond Jim)




"This is a new design by Diamond Jim Tyler.  DJ often looks for things that are intrinsically magical to inspire his performances and to reach the subconscious of his spectators. Neuro-linguistic programming techniques and subliminal suggestions like these help to coax the audience to respond more strongly to your magic!

The black and white card backs feature ancient imagery based on the Mayan calendar, a compass rose, sugar skulls and more.  The cards are poker-sized Bicycle stock with an "apocalyptic" finish. The deck was licensed with Bicycle faces so they can be implemented into 808 decks for various magic routines.

This deck manufactured by the United States Playing Card Co. includes two duplicate Jokers, a unique Ace of Spades, a blank-faced card, a double-backed card and a secret one-way design." -Diamond Jim Tyler

Chinatown (Dan and Dave)



"Commemorating Chinese culture in observance of the lunar new year, Fulton's Chinatown Playing Cards were inspired by the red envelope tradition and honor The Year of The Dragon, 2012. They're the luckiest deck you'll ever use.
As a child, Brad Fulton eagerly awaited the coming of Chinese New Year, a holiday where his Aunt Kareen and Uncle Dennis would present a beautiful bright red and gold envelope filled with lucky money. To commemorate those happy feelings and bring luck to you all, we present Fulton's Chinatown Playing Cards.
"Chinatown Los Angeles holds a special place historically and personally. It has always evoked and cultivated an aura of magic, mystery, and vibrant energy. With this deck I pay respect to a holiday and location associated with good luck and endless possibilities."
Hand illustrated by Dan Phillips, this new edition of Fulton's branded playing cards was printed with the same quality as the Fulton's Clip Joint Playing Cards and are packaged in the most beautiful box ever produced.
Limited to only 5,000 decks." -Dan and Dave
