Verve: Shine Edition (House of Playing Cards)

"Verve is defined as having vigor, spirit, or enthusiasm. The Shine Yellow deck, the last color in this series from Verve Luxury Playing Cards has a simple and elegant design that steps away from typical ornamental styles to evoke a premium feel that’s right at home in any high-stakes poker game. There are no extraneous elements such as built-in reveals; just an elegant deck with a single blank card and a subtle one-way back design. This limited Shine Yellow deck is printed in a yellow color that emulates real leather.

Highest Quality Printing - Embossing and Metallic Inks Included

The deck was printed by the US Playing Card Company on Bee Casino quality card stock with a high-embossed Magic Finish. The tuck box is embossed with foil printing for an added touch of luxury. The faces are printed with three metallic inks and include custom court cards, aces, and jokers.

Pure Elegance & Luxury - You've never seen a deck like this before!

The Shine Yellow deck is the most limited Verve deck to date with only 2,000 decks printed. This deck epitomizes pure elegance and class. It truly belongs in the hands of the discriminating collector, magician, or cardist." -House of Playing Cards

Curator (Emmanuel Jose)

"It all started with one card a week. Artist Emmanuel Jose has created every element of this breathtaking deck entirely by hand. He did not use digital software, or pen and ink. Every design was painstakingly crafted out of paper. Yes, every number, letter, pip, and image was made from hand-cut paper. Emmanuel created 1 card per week for an entire year to finish the complete deck!

Known as a "transformation" deck, this style of art has been around for years. The artwork speaks for itself, and each card stands on its own merits. The back design features scissors, hinting at the method used to create this masterwork. The entire deck has a black, white, and red color scheme, which extends to the striking tuck box.

Only 3,500 decks of this amazing Limited Artist's Edition have been printed. Get yours today!" -House of Playing Cards

Heraldry (CircleCityCards)

"From the mind of Russell Kercheval, designer of the Americana deck, comes an entirely new level of sophistication. The Heraldry deck features 100% custom artwork that has been thoughtfully created to conjure up images of a bygone age. The back design is split into 4 sections and has thin borders, making this an ideal deck for fanning. A special double-backed card is also included with each deck, ideal for a color-changing deck routine.

The faces have a unique grey background with a delicate swirl pattern, and feature Roman numerals to indicate the value of the card. All of the court cards and Aces have bold and intricate ornamental designs. The tuck box has silver foil elements and minimal text to really make the deck stand out in your collection.

This special first-edition printing is available in Azure (Blue) and Sanguine (Red) varieties - only 2,500 of each color have been created!" -House of Playing Cards

Available in both Red and Blue.

Snow Owls (The Blue Crown)

"In 2010 stories and artwork were discovered in a book from the early 1700’s that appear to provide evidence about a secret society of magicians. Formed to protect magicians during the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600’s, the Order of the Owl was founded in the Northeastern US. We have painstakingly restored and recreated the artwork we found in order to put this deck into the hands of modern magicians and keep the memory of this society alive. Some believe that the order still exists, though we cannot be sure. Secrets are everywhere.

We have created a limited run of 2,500 white Altruism decks, which we have dubbed Snow Owls. The Snow Owls have the same detailed artwork as the regular Altruism decks, but in a beautiful black and white color scheme.

NOTE - Due to a printing error made at US Playing Card, 1st edition Altruism decks have a duplicate Queen of Hearts. You will receive the Queen of Diamonds together with any deck ordered." -The Blue Crown

Dominion (Handlordz)

"A brand new deck by De'vo vom Schattenreich, with amazing artwork by Prof. D.W. Phelyx Hopkins. We worked together to bring something different in this world of 5 million cards that all look alike. This deck has been carefully designed to capture the eye, both still, and in motion. It is the most beautiful and versatile fanning deck on the market. This deck is mirror back fanning deck, meaning that you can use them normally and not worry about mixing up the back designs. These cards work great for all of your needs, but when you Fan one way and you'll get a beautiful bright red fan, fan the other way and you'll get a black different pattern. The fans were designed to be highly visible both on and off stage. Giant fans are amazing with this deck!

This deck comes with 4 cover cards, 2 blank jokers, and 2 double sided red and black cover cards. This is such an amazing deck in many ways! Deck concepts by De'vo with amazing artwork by Prof. D.W. Phelyx Hopkins.

The amazing new Dominion Fanning deck comes with two sets of these awesome Cover Cards. On one side is full red, and the other black. You place these on the top of the deck to make the deck appear the same as the cover card. You also get two sets of blank cards that can double as jokers. The double sets are so you can divide the deck in half and still have each half covered. Also they work great with one on top and bottom.

Black Spot cards have gradient pips, red cards have standard red pips in the corners only. None of the spot cards have center pips (but the court and aces do). All have this beautiful pattern in the center. De’vo didn't want a "standard" kind of deck with Dominion. He wanted to break the rules and create something truly different and beautiful!" -Handlordz

The same stock and finish as De'vo's Blades, and the back forms a poster sized comic!

The new box features embossing, silver foil stamping, and the same paper used in the tuck cases of the White Lion Series B decks.

4,500 of the decks will come in a sumptuous royal purple tuck box featuring incredibly intricate gold foiling, metallic inks and embossing. Those luxury features weren't enough, as it also has a never-before-seen design feature: a custom diecut that allows you a glimpse inside to the special gold ad card within. Not just a simple box, the diecut is made to mirror the overall theme of the deck, with its arabesque motifs." -Encarded

vol. 2

"I hear you asking, "What is this I see before me? Playing cards, or 54 little pieces of art?" 

Well, it's both!

This absolutely desirable deck was lovingly created by 36 artists of the Black Rock Collective.

A rather crass yet brilliant Australian member had the idea of doing a card deck - a perfect medium to utilise the BRC's mish mash of styles and techniques. One of the New Zealand members ran with this idea (such is the way down there in the Antipodes) and 'by crikey', here it is.

The result of hours of doodling, squabbling, and sanding every card by hand has produced this diverse and beautiful card deck. It feels amazing, and deserves to be fondled as much as possible.

We hope you enjoy it." -Black Rock Collective

Players (Theory11)

"A direct collaboration with underground artist Daniel Madison.
From the start, we wanted to create a deck that was function first - then form. A secret weapon, in your pocket at a moment’s notice.

A remarkably covert, elegant, deceptive marked deck.

Between the lines of the Players design, a mystery resides. The cards hide a secret so profound - it could influence every performance you make as a magician, or at the card table.

To a casual observer, nothing is out of the ordinary. Deep within the design is a marking system that reveals the identity of each and every playing card. With purchase of each deck, you will receive a code card teaching you how to break the code.

Printed on the highest quality paper, with one-of-a-kind Linen texture.

The deck is shielded by a premium white linen box, giving it a subtle texture. The back design utilizes such a small amount of ink that it makes Players incredibly smooth and durable. We kept things simple and true to Daniel Madison's identity and original vision.

Players are Limited Edition. Once our current supply of this white edition expires, they will not be reprinted. Want them? Order now." -Theory11

"Limited edition Daniel Madison playing cards produced by Theory11 with a quality finish. The back design, made up of small ornamental logos, utilizes such a small amount of ink that it makes Players incredibly smooth and durable.

True to Daniel Madison's character the deck was designed with a secret code revealing the identity of each and every card.

The deck is packaged in a white linen box, giving it a subtle texture." -Dan and Dave

White Lions Series B (Black)

"The "Black Label" White Lions is the deck that David personally uses when he performs magic. The combination of the white on white embossing, silver foil, and matte white finish box is the perfect synthesis of elegance, simplicity, and quality. In addition, the Black Label decks have the highest contrast of all of the White Lions, which noticeably enhances some of the deck's features. 

The Series B White Lions are a product of almost a year's worth of collaboration with the United States Playing Card Company. Numerous factors are considered when creating a deck of playing cards, including printing press type, paper moisture, card stock, and embossing pressure. No expense was spared in creating Series B, as is evident the moment they are in your hands.

Our new box design includes silver foil stamping, detailed embossing, and a matte white finish never before seen on any deck of cards. Due to the difficult and time-consuming process required to print and package this new box paper type, the USPC is no longer able to provide this finish. The cards themselves are printed on the highest quality stock to produce a feel so noticeably good you won't want to put them down." -David Blaine

Purple Artifice v3 (Ellusionist)

"Think about the most exquisite, luxurious lounges you've ever been in; those oak-paneled New England rooms that have hosted generations of movers and shakers. Everything stands out and blends in at the same time. All the touches give it a glow that makes everything feel naturally beautiful.

That's what the latest edition of the Artifice deck accomplishes. The Purple Artifice doesn't need to scream, because it radiates quality. Highlighted with a purple that glows like an amethyst in a jeweler's display, the Artifice features a classy design, resplendent without saying a word. 

It's just the right amount of flash.

With true metallic line-art, performance coating finish and enhanced pips, the Purple Artifice has been produced using the same technological advancements at USPCC, originally created specifically for the printing of the First Edition Artifice deck. Yet purple, the color of royalty, adds a level of detail to the deck that gives it a top-of-the-line aura.

The experienced card worker knows that moves and sleights should always be quiet, in the background. Yet he also knows that a hint of quality says much more than any words he could think up. Rocking a purple Artifice deck is the card-table equivalent of speaking softly, but carrying a big stick." -Ellusionist
