Playing cards are the primary building blocks and tools with which we create our magic. Just as an architect must carefully plan and build his structures; magicians must take equal care in structuring their effects and presentations. Architect playing cards are the perfect tribute to an art & craft that shares so much with magic.
Designed by Jared Hansen, the Architect deck is truly a sight to behold. The original Blue version of the deck was printed in 2017 and has been sold out for years. Today we proudly present a gorgeous, ultra-limited Red version of the Architect deck. Only 1/10th as many Red decks have been printed compared to the original Blue.
The stunning tuck box is crafted from a heavy-duty red matte paper that's adorned on all sides with gold foil. The package is topped off with an individually-numbered foil sticker seal.
The cards themselves have an intricate back design with fine line work. The faces are Penguin Standard with a customized color palette, a DaVinci-inspired Ace of Spades, and identical drawing compass Jokers.
Instead of a standard red/red or red/blue double backer we've included a Light Red/Dark Red double backer that opens the door to interesting presentations. A Blank Face gaff is also included.
Red Architect playing cards are printed using Penguin's signature UltraLux™ Finish and AquaFlow™ Coating. The casino-grade European card stock has an ideal linen texture that handles like an absolute dream. The cards are traditionally cut with smooth edges that provide just the right amount of grip.
Printed with vegetable-based inks and water-based coating, the cards are planet-friendly as well! These cards are soft enough to get to work straight out of the box, but durable enough to meet the needs of a full-time magician, cardist, or card sharp.
Only 500 of these limited-edition decks have been printed. They are currently available only through special promotions and giveaways and are not available for purchase.
