Meticulously crafted marked playing cards, specifically designed for mentalists and magicians. Printed on Cartamundi's Slimline Stock. Comes in mneumonica stack.

Blood Kings by Daniel Madison & Peter McKinnon are the last in the Kings series of playing cards.  Stacked in mnemonica straight out of the box, these cards ooze sophistication from their warm, blood-red backs.  For this stunning second edition, we've changed the paper vault for these beautiful cards to an under-stated, minimal tuck case, blood-soaked with a deep red Blood Kings logo proudly on the front.  Some Kings like opulence, true Kings prefer power... The sides read 'Live Like Kings' - Die Like Kings', a nod to the previous best-selling versions and a final goodbye from this influential series.  GAFFS INCLUDED The Angle Z Gaff is dead, but the double-backer lives on.  Instead, we've added a duplicate Queen of Hearts in each deck that sits proudly on top of your stack. Behind every great King, is a powerful Queen.  Blood Kings. Only in death can they live forever.

Steve Minty: "I approached the Blood Dragons design with heavy looking thick scale like motifs. I felt it invoked the essence of a powerful dragon without being obvious. This is reflected in the characters in terms of what they wear with and additional slight Asian influence."

A Kickstarter project from Nathan Lindley brings back a rare creation of mentalist Peter Turner with improvements, fresh colour schemes and designs on the back and faces of the deck. - Including custom court cards and beautifully hand drawn center pips featured on the Aces. - An intuitive marking system that can be learnt in seconds that will allow you to know the exact identity of any playing card that is selected. - OOTW (Out of this world) colour marking systems (multiple) that allow you to know the colour of any playing card with a simple glance. - Several very, very subtle one way markings that allow you to know the orientation of cards - Even in a spread. - A clever system that allows you to blindly (facedown) stack the deck into mneumonica even if you don't know that stack. - 2 custom utility cards that allow you to perform a range of routines including gaining secret information about the spectator that they never know that you know. This is information that the spectator never says out loud, never writes down and you can reveal this information in fun and interesting ways - They're also marked. - A custom printed card with a link to a pdf and video tutorial that will allow you to unlock the secrets in the deck. - A seemingly innocent tuck case with a secret of its own. - NEW STOCK! Printed on Cartamundi's True linen B9 finish. - Comes pre-stacked in mnemonica.
