We’re back! And this time we're going nautical. This has been a concept that we’ve wanted to do since the start. Our love of the sea comes from our childhood roots of sailing and fishing. This marks the start of a new era for Joker and the Thief.

Introducing Joker and the Thief’s SEAFARERS Playing Cards! From the darkest depths, from the furthest horizons.They come, great travellers of the sea. Sailing for eternity on strange waters. The Joker and the Thief Return.

Following the success of the Joker and the Thief reprints, we have decided we want to focus on more original designs heading into the future. Since the beginning of our brand, we have developed a list of themes that we’ve wanted to explore. Nautical is one of them, and the perfect opportunity arose when we began collaborating with Gustavo Magalhães. As a passionate artist hailing from Brazil, Gus was keen to bring the concept to life and carry the symbolism, characters and vibe over to Seafarers.

We wanted to create a classic deck of cards reminiscent of vintage United States Playing Card Co. designs. We intentionally went this route because of how classic designs survive the test of time. Gus was instrumental in striking the balance between classic design and our signature vibe.

Ellusionist started the custom deck market with the Black Tiger Deck, since then we've spawned an entire product category for young designers to express their art.

In our 18 year history, we've never collaborated with a single one of them... until now.

What drew us to working with Nicholas Earl and his company Got Magic? was his unwavering dedication to quality. Making THE best product, regardless of cost.

Going against the grain of business practices, we've thrown the kitchen sink at this deck. It has metallic ink faces, foiling, an embossed custom tuck and was packed by hand to ensure each deck's perfection.

The design and the name echo an ethos of change. The back design features the famous 'VIEWS' optical illusion that gets more trippy the more you stare, making Views x Ellusionist a celebration of your unique perspective.

Whether you're a fan, an avid deck-reseller or a collector you'll be pleased to know that only 5,000 of these decks were printed with USPCC and they won't ever be diluted with a re-run.

Proverbial fence-sitters will miss out, guaranteed.

Untitled V2 'Reflections' is a journey into the mind of an artist. The reflection of self. It began with a painting, then photographed and mirrored 4 times. Throughout the design are hidden meanings relating to the topic of reflection and art. The Ace of Spades has been enlarged and incorporates the back design, with a faint Untitled logo beneath it. To maintain a consistent color palette of the deck, the standard blue from USPCC has been removed, leaving just red, yellow and black.
