ABOUT THIS DECK
The DJ DeLand Playing Cards remix classic card design with a bold vinyl-record aesthetic and ingenious hidden markings.
Based on a concept from Seth Race with design from Phill Smith & Kevin Reylek, Penguin has created a marvelous marked deck that is not only easy to learn, but easy to perform with.
The deck features fully custom artwork from top to bottom.
The card backs have a full-bleed borderless design, covered in dozens of vinyl records. Utilizing a "clock-and-color" marking system devised by Kevin Reylek, you'll be able to discern both the suit & value of any card in the deck just by glancing at the back. Because of the size of the marks and the color-based suit system, the deck can be read from quite a reasonable distance!
What about the riffle test?! The deck has been design so that EVERY record on each card back changes. When you riffle through the cards like a flipbook, the whole design changes - making it impossible for an audience to discover the system.
An instruction card is included so you can learn the markings right away. You'll also receive a video download that takes you step-by-step through the system.
The faces feature a fresh take on the classics, with all of the court cards holding musical items including microphones, records, headphones, and more. Two near-identical jokers are included, as well as a double-backed gaff card for magic tricks.
Of course, the cards handle like a dream. Printed using Penguin Magic's exclusive UltraLux™ Finish and AquaFlow™ Coating, these traditionally-cut cards come out of the box ready for all of the tricks & flourishes in your arsenal.
The whole package is topped off with a custom sticker seal, individually numbered out of 500.
