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!

From the 2017 mind of Joe Feldpausch comes the Black Hole Edition Orbits! Joe and I have been talking about this idea for years but never found a proper way to accomplish what we wanted so we shelved it. 7 years later, we found a way to bring his idea to life and turned it into a polished final product with the help of my other half, the legend himself, Daniel Schneider on the artwork. The cards were printed at Cartamundi and have been in pre-production for over a year now. It took a lot for us to get to this point. The hole is the exact dimensions of the inside of our signature Orbit O on the back design. All the card faces are warped around the Black Hole. The deck opens the door to new grips, new moves, and a completely new look and feel. We plan on making at least a few more editions of these. This deck is for cardists, magicians, collectors, and space geeks alike. Come see what's inside a black hole.

This Orbit deck uses the same artwork which had been used throughout the Orbit series. On this deck, the artworks appeared to have warped around the big hole on the middle, like how black hole sucking dead stars in space.

ARK, with its leading-edge traditional Chinese ink painting and innovative card box design, brings forth this richly mythical book and its stories once again to the world.

In the design of ShanHai, traditional Chinese ink painting techniques were employed, resulting in over 100 large-scale hand-drawn illustrations. Even though they may appear as tiny details on the playing cards.

The cards draw inspiration from the "Shan Hai Jing," with the theme centered around the Queen Mother . This shifts the focus to the Kunlun Mountains in the west, painted using traditional Chinese landscape ink painting techniques.
