The Green Monarch box is uniquely composed of two layers - it’s the most durable tuck case we’ve ever made. Monarch playing cards are Made in the USA on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests. The cards themselves are printed with vegetable-based inks.

Version One: First Printing- Thick gold band around deck.

Gold thread around tuck box marks v2 and clear thread is v1

In 2011, we released the original Monarchs. They quickly became our best-selling deck, and they ushered in a new standard for luxury playing cards. Soon after, we dressed them in red. Monarchs are back in a new print edition, with a much more vivid, vibrant red box.

Red Monarchs are Made in the USA on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests. Printed on Q1 quality stock with our signature Premium 909 Finish.

We spent time refining the world’s finest deck. It turned out better than we could ever imagine. We treated the back design with a vibrant, dramatic shade of red. For the tuck case, we worked alongside our print team to take an existing soft-touch paper and then darkened the tone while maintaining the vibrance of the red color.

The goal was to make playing cards fit for a king. The world’s finest. Regal. We feel one step closer to accomplishing that mission than ever before. We know you’re going to love them. In stock and available for immediate shipping.

Bring a whole new look to your card games with the brand new set of blackout 'Blvck Playing Cards'. Each card features a beautiful matte black finish with subtle glossy highlights to reveal the design and details. The unique glossy black details reflect the light, changing the design from ultra black to bright white.

From the Ellusionist site: Ellusionist worked closely with Universal Studios and the Jurassic Park franchise to ensure every detail roars with nostalgia, like it was plucked directly from the park itself. Designed with the 1993 park in mind, each deck is crawling with easter (dino)eggs every Jurassic Park fan will know and love. Printed on Cartamundi's famous B9 card stock, this deck will add some nostalgia to your magic, cardisty or card games.

Our very first release outside of our popular LUXX® series, COBRA is illustrated by the supremely talented Rick Davidson and takes inspiration from some of our favourite decks - such as DMC's Elites and the industry changing Monarchs deck from theory11. Housed in a gorgeous soft touch burgundy 330gsm tuck box complete with gold foil COBRA logo and detailing. Traditional faces and numbers coupled with gold metallic inks on the courts and backs make COBRA a premium deck made to be used. Included in the deck for the magicians is a blank face card and a double backer.

Computers have been an integral part of our existence for decades now; so much that we are so used to their integration that we might not even notice them in the background of our lives. For the myriad functions that these machines carry out, I have always been fascinated that their incredible power is controlled by physical circuits and chips; constructed in a factory and brought to life with sparks of electricity.

These synthetic brains can function faster, more accurately and with greater scope than we ever could. But they are still the composition of plastic, metal and gels; which when constructed correctly make the modern miracle of computers.

I wanted to explore this fascination through the Circuit cards, highlighting the intricate and perfectly composed circuits that make it all possible. Channelling millions of independent electrical currents to hundreds of destinations, each circuit is the picture of unfathomable complexity. This is represented by the detailed background circuits anchoring the design to the circuit board, and the bold circuits making up the suit symbols.

I also wanted to embody the way in which this technology has become integrated into our lives, and so the court cards are composed of directional circuits. These circuit figures are the representative of this digital age, a time when it is becoming more and more difficult to see where we end and technology starts.

There are 4 decks in the Circuit Series: Rainbow White, Ice Blue, Neon Green and PCB:

Each deck boasts:

Intricate foil and embossing to box exterior

Beautiful illustrations with subtle background design.

Unique themed suits in the Circuit style.

Printed by WJPC on 310gsm German Black core card stock

The PCB deck (Printed Circuit Board) is a special edition design for the computer enthusiasts. Sheathed with Gold AND Silver foil, the design is imprinted onto the exact bottle green of traditional circuit boards. We have recreated the original EAGLECAD font used as a standard on printed circuity design, and continued the true-to-life experience through the cards with 100% metallic inks on the card fronts. This deck is not only functional, but a PERFECT gift for anyone who has an interest or fascination with computers!

The Inspiration for this project has been an interesting one. So many of my decks in the past have centered around a theme or a specific moment in History. Because of this, I have always had historical characters to feature in my decks depending on the theme.

For this project, the beginnings were a little bit different. Many times between projects I will spend a few days just gathering reference and pouring over tons of beautiful images of art and other things that I might find inspiration from.

As I was searching for a creative direction for a new project, a song began to play on my playlist that really caught my attention. My wife sometimes calls me a nerd in my choice of music. I enjoy listening to all types of music but when I am working I seem to find the most focus listening to instrumental music from cinema, games, and other types of media.

This song captivated me, and it was the catalyst for the entire project. I put it on repeat and listened to it to all day while creating a completely new set of court cards from the images of, what I would describe as a mixture of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. The designs that transpired over the course of the day were promising to me, and most of very different from any of my previous work.

The title of the deck was actually derived from the title of the song that sparked it, Invocation.

The Copper Editions will be printed by The United States Playing Card Company on Premium Stock with Air Cushioned Finish. The cards and artwork will feature brilliant Copper metallic inks.

The tuck box will be printed by Clover St Press featuring hot foil stamped with Copper and Black Foil. Embossed to enhance the look and feel of the tuck case.
