Butterfly playing cards are the world's most popular edge marked deck. Created by Ondrej Psenicka and designed by Stefan Eriksson, the Butterfly deck is as devious as it is beautiful.

In this exclusive collaboration with Penguin Magic, the Royal Purple edition of the Butterfly deck brings everything you know and love about the Butterflies to a gorgeous new colorway.

Hidden within the charming design are clever markings that allow you to perform incredibly powerful effects that will have your audience believing that you truly possess magic powers.

Printed in Belgium on Cartamundi Slimline stock with B9 True Linen Finish and a Modern cut, the Butterfly deck is a true joy to handle. The slim stock makes shuffles and springs a breeze while the linen texture and high-grade coating make sure that the deck will fan and spread beautifully for the life of the deck.

The cards have standard faces for familiarity during magic tricks. The deck includes two custom Butterfly Jokers, a custom Butterfly Ace of Spades, and an instruction card that teaches the built-in marking systems. You'll also receive an instructional video where Ondrej Psenicka teaches how to read the deck.

The deck is housed in a luxurious tuck box crafted from durable matte purple paper with the design stamped in white foil.

Scans of each card can be seen atwww.marytcusack.com/maryc/Cards/Timeless.html Timeless is another release by RSVP Magic and features early work from designer Lotrek of Half Moon Playing Cards. A really sharp fully custom deck with a well designed back that lends itself well to the theme and keeps a two way back design dynamic. The deck also features slightly stylized pips, custom Ace of Spades and only one Joker. The deck also comes with two "gaff" cards and a double backer for some nice effects. Note the two images of the King of Hearts below...very subtle. Built into this very special deck are the following unique features: Each custom designed court card depicts a different hour of the day and these have been printed in 'Chased' order allowing for some superb effects that are unique only to this deck. Ideas are limited only by your imagination. Includes one custom designed Joker, a duplicate King of Diamonds with a different time feature that allows for the effect of moving a time to the predicted one, a duplicate Jack of Spades with a broken clock face and one double backer.

A whole year after the first Venexiana deck, the story continues with a travel to the dark heart of 18th century Venice. Venexiana Dark features a series of obscure and marginal characters who complete the picture of this haunting city. Thieves, assassins, prostitutes, wicked noblemen and masters of deception are all on board in this imaginary gondola. Hop in and follow the journey to the unknown through the narrow canals of Venice.

Venexiana Dark is in fact two different decks: The "Masked" and the "Revealed" editions, with the first one featuring the courts wearing masks, while the second has the courts unmasked and their faces revealed!

There was a mixup in production which resulted in the tucks for the decks being mixed (masked card in revealed tuck and vice-versa).  This was only noticed after initial shipments were started and then shipment halted to allow the decks to be re-packaged.  As a result, some decks exist with the wrong cards in the wrong tuck, but the majority are assumed to have been corrected.
