For three years, at Joker and the Thief, we have reviewed and handled hundreds of custom designer playing cards from around the world. We have seen absolute gems and absolute rubbish, innovation and repetition, various design trends, decks that handle spectacularly and decks that handle poorly. What we have observed is a vast plethora of combinations, leading to either quality products or poor ones. We believe that a certain balance needs to be achieved in order to create a great deck of cards. Now we are delighted to introduce to you, a collaborative project with Pedro Oyarbide, 6 months in the making - Joker and the Thief Playing Cards.

In collaboration with our artist Pedro Oyarbide, we originally sought to create a deck that was distinctly unique amongst other decks of playing cards on the market. We focused on 100% custom illustration, striking details, incredible, eye-catching packaging and deep connotation evident through symbolic design. The mythology of the Joker and the Thief playing cards expands with the addition of Street Edition. The all new bold, black and grey colour-way bursts forth bringing itself into the light of day. Building upon White Gold Edition and Blood Red Edition’s narratives; Street Edition aims to place itself directly in the hands of contemporary creatives. It looks at home in any urban setting while continuing to portray powerful contrasting themes of life and mortality, lightness and darkness, good and evil. It is most definitely, a conversation starter! The Joker and the Thief emerge from the shadows more stunning, striking and stylish than ever.

Namaste and welcome to Joker and the Thief’s campaign for Psychonauts Playing Cards, our next big custom deck! What is a Psychonaut? - From the Greek “Psyche” meaning soul. And “Nautes” meaning sailor. A psychonaut explores the subconscious mind via altered states of consciousness. Typically induced by meditation, psychedelic substances, or holotropic breathing techniques. A psychonaut explores reality beyond the perception of the five senses, and documents the experience. The spiritual insights gained while on a psychedelic trip are then integrated into normal life. A psychonaut is guided by divinity, and seeks the understanding of reality itself. So, come and take a journey with us into the depths of the mind!

Psychonauts has all the features that you could ever possibly want in a deck of playing cards!
