Poker Size Bicycle playing cards are the worldwide standard for magicians. These cards offer the best quality finish for durability and are available in a variety of colors. This is the Blue edition.

MINT Playing Cards originally launched on on Kickstarter in 2016. The project was extremely well received and became one of the highest funded playing card projects ever. The Launch Editions decks have been completely sold out for over a year now. Fans of the cards have sent countless messages asking when they will be available again... NOW IS THE TIME. With your support, we can bring back a new and improved MINT with fresh new flavors! After months of planning and development, 52Kards is proud to present MINT 2 Fresh new flavors. (Blueberry MINT and Frost MINT) A refined card stock for optimal handling. (Crushed Casino Grade Bee Stock) Major improvements to the MINT Marking System. The back design pattern has been slightly expanded for a cleaner look THE BACK DESIGN Using a classical approach to design, MINT offers an aesthetic that is familiar, but fresh. The elegant repeating pattern evokes the decks that have survived the test of time. The face designs are mostly traditional. MINT is designed with magicians in mind, so standard face designs help make the cards look relatable and innocent. Classic court card designs with a modern touch of MINT. A beautiful Ace of Spades. THE CARD QUALITY The quality of the cards is of upmost importance. MINT 2 will be printed by the renowned United States Playing Card Company with precise specifications and the highest quality standards possible. The cards will handle like a dream :) THE MINT MARKING SYSTEM The MINT design includes an ingenious marking system that allows you to read the identity of the card by looking at the back design. Magicians can take advantage of this clever feature. (Please use responsibly!!!) THE TUCK CASE A preview of the Original MINT tuck case. The MINT 2 Packaging will be just as good if not better. Beautiful tuck case design Manufactured with a luxurious paper stock. Laced with gleaming foil. Custom tax stamp seal. Cards come in Mnemonica stack order. Decks will wrapped in cellophane for protection.

 

Like running your hands over the scales of a snake, Viper Finish is named for the silky feel with a unique smooth, dry, yet slippery texture. Viper Finish is the Goldilocks of feel, handling, and durability. As a bonus, it is highly resistant to changes in humidity, which not only is great for some magic techniques like breather crimps, another bonus is you don't get that 'pop' in the deck when you fly or travel to a dry climate, and the decks don't inflate and get soggy in humid climates like Singapore or Hong Kong. A truly new feeling card stock like nothing else on the market. We hope these decks spark a bit of joy in your life, not only for how they look, but how they feel in your hands. Shuffle your way to a brighter and friendlier future! Paper + Coating + Heat curing + LPCC proprietary processes = VIPER FINISH™ Viper Finish blends the thinness and snap of Master / Diamond Finish, with the soft flex and feel of the popular but rare Stud Finish. All of these advantages without destroying the fibers of the paper by crushing the stock, which can make a deck feel great, but weaken the cards and makes them much less durable. If possible, it is better to "crush" the fibers at your own pace by breaking them in with regular use. Your decks will last longer and feel just how you want them to. The v.1 deck is Pantone Color of the Year 2020 is Classic Blue—a familiar, calming shade of azure. At Legends PCC, we are lovers of all things related to card and color, and feel these colors are well suited to a subtle injection of white (the card stock). Pantone’s colors seem to be a cleverly crafted color story rather than a trend, perhaps selected as psychological reaction to the difficult year the world has had in 2020, from political upheavals to the pandemic and general negativity. The daisy-like hues of illuminating yellow and enduring concrete-like ultimate grey forecast a brighter outlook for 2021 and will be popular colors for this year in print, houseware, editorial, the financial industry, and entertainment. We wanted to keep the deck simple and elegant, with artwork by friend of Legends and excellent designer Nick Vlow, as well as some artwork elements by Grayson Stallings. A card back that feels modern, but doesn't feel out of place in a poker game or magician's hands. With magician's in mind, we included 2 of our signature ex-stripper decks in the limited half-brick set. If you haven't tried these yet they are simply the best stripper decks on the market, with no exception. The tuck box also features edge painting - the white edges of the tuck are painted so they aren't as noticeable and don't ruin the aesthetic. Every detail matters in playing card production and packaging - including the unsightly white edge of the tuck paper stock, which we paint a matching color before packing and cello wrapping.

Recently Conjuring Arts discovered a cache of new casino cards that not only are beautiful but also have normal faces and indices (the red is darker but the cards don't have the now common jumbo indexes and casino codes). Many will ask where these cards came from. We can't reveal all the details but we can say that they were made for a casino in far east Asia that was operated by someone that is now on the US Government's "Black List" and can no longer do any business with the United States, including buying these cards! We cannot tell you more but suffice to say that the person running the casino might make a very good Bond Villain! Brand: Bee, Grade: Casino, Tuck: Normal retail, Back design: Aristocrat with a lotus, Production date: 2017. Faces: Standard with Perfect Indices.

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.

This series of decks is made by special arrangement with the EPCC and USPCC. After 20 years of research we believe it is not possible, at this time, to make better cards at USPCC. We predict that this series of decks will become legendary for serious card handlers. And even though these are NOT a limited edition we cannot guarantee that we will be allowed to make them again in the future.

Since 2012, simplicity and elegance have defined the NOC series. With each edition, we strive to make it better and better. Teaming up with USPCC, we believe this is our best version yet! Our NOC Original series by House of Playing Cards comes in FIVE brilliant colors. Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, and everyone's favorite- Black! These playing cards are MARKED for suit - that's right - you can tell if it's clubs, hearts, spades, or diamonds just by reading the marking system on the back. The NOC's have proven to be a top choice for workers, card collectors, and card enthusiasts. Whatever your preference, NOC's are the answer.

The new black/gold edition is one of three new decks from Misc Goods, along with Sandstone and Cacti. Misc Goods are known for the fresh approach the artwork takes and are a lot of fun for collectors and card games alike. Printed by the United States Playing Card Company on Bee casino stock, the highest quality coated playing card stock they offer.

Without Bees humans would cease to exist. They are silent heroes dedicated to pollinating our lands and expect nothing in return. Their purpose should not be to serve us, but they do it. That's why Ellusionist is wearing the cape today. Promising 10% of profits of all Super Bees decks sold to IUCN and local Bee charities that need us most. Since starting the fund with Killer Bee Playing Cards, we've raised over $30,000, but that's not enough. Together, we can do more. That's where Super Bees come to the rescue. Featuring Cartamundi B9 white card stock, with true linen finish and metallic gold ink, this feels like the special edition comic book that's worth a million times more in 10 years. Gold backs share the same hexagonal design made infamous by the Killer Bee deck, while the box is a premium stock, ivory white with gold foil detail.

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.
