Nicolai Aaroe's House of the Seven Gables are exquisite poker playing cards, inspired by the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, a seven gabled mansion in Salem, Massachusetts, belonging to Hawthorne's cousin Susanna Ingersoll, as well as ancestors of Hawthorne who had played a part in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. The legend follows a New England family and their ancestral home. The project, also inspired by the work of H. P. Lovecraft, explores themes of guilt, retribution, and atonement, and colors the tale with suggestions of the supernatural and witchcraft.

Conjuring Arts information: Conjuring Arts proudly introduces our new exclusive Professional Bicycle® Playing Cards to the magic community. These new Professional Bicycles® may look familiar, but they have been custom designed for discerning card handlers. They feature an unprecedented level of quality along with a handful of clever surprises. These cards are printed on the highest quality casino stock with USPCC’s finest coating. This makes for a deck that not only feels as good as cards from 10 years ago, but even better. These cards will make many common sleights easier, and certain sleights and flourishes wouldn’t be possible with any other deck. These decks are arranged similarly to the Spanish, or Fournier, order. It is a natural Stay-Stack or mirror stack and will allow those of you who use Mnemonica to get into stack more quickly than with regular Bicycles. As with our other cards, users can decide whether they prefer the feel of an Air Cushion or Ivory finish. Clever magicians will create “sorts” by mixing the two finishes together in one deck. A very powerful secret weapon from nearly a hundred years ago that has not been available for decades! There are a total of 12 different editions of this deck. The difference is the prediction readable in the bar code.
