Killer Bees are the mutant hybrid of timid European honey bees and their African cousins.  Like all superhero stories, the Killers were introduced to Brazil by mad scientists to help re-populate their diminishing Bee population.  But no-one could contain them... In 1957, 26 swarms escaped quarantine and declared war on the western hemisphere.  Danger lurking in the skies, these villains will stalk their victims for up to 1/2 a mile..  We wanted to capture the darker bodies of these cold-face killers in our deck. Creating a harsh black back with toxic-waste yellow honeycomb spilt on the back.  The black faces display custom pips and hold a sinister simplicity. Like something you'd expect to see on a discarded barrel of methylamine.  Killer Bees are the result of an unsanctioned lab experiment when toxic-waste spilled into a delicate hive of Honey Bees.

Introducing RELOADS... A tuckless deck wrapped securely in cellophane. If you're anything like us the cards LIVE in your hands. You sometimes set them down at your desk, in your kitchen or in the bathroom. (Don't pretend that's just us.) Often in performance the tuck is discarded, or placed safely in your case while your deck takes on the inevitable damage of bends, slaps, crimps, sweat, sharpie and the sticky fingers of spectators. For cardists the tuck is actually a hinderance. One more first world problem to eliminate. Those seconds removing the deck from the tuck really add up. With RELOADS we help to streamline your EDC (every day carry), help the environment (by not printing tucks that can be reused) and provide a cost effective solution to your increasingly expensive passion. From just $3.50 per deck when buying 12, these decks arrive in the mail in perfect condition and can be opened with a quick cello-snap. The second deck to introduce this Ellusionist RELOADS concept is the best-selling Killer Bees deck. A charity deck where profits help to revive the dwindling bee population. Printed on Cartamundi's famed B9 stock for durability, these outlast any deck we've ever put it head-to-head against. RELOAD your playing card supply today and #SAVETHEBEES.
