From the Ellusionist website: This deck is not for sale, and is only available through special promotions. A dignified and minimalist design imbues the LTD Playing cards with a dignified quality. The card box is printed a deep crimson red outside and INSIDE of the case to permeate the entire deck with high design. Designed with help from card pro, Daniel Madison, the card backs reflective of the timeless diamond pattern design that give the LTD its signature appeal. Only 5000 LTD decks will ever be crafted.

Manufactured by USPCC, this unbranded deck reportedly was in development for 5 years with 3 designers working together before Ellusionist released it in 2009 as the first in their new line of signature playing cards. This is the white version of the Arcane deck, but there was also a black version, as well as a rare red and gold ones (variations of the black). The deck was designed for magic and cardistry use by the use of the unique back design and custom jokers plus gaff card, in addition to standard game play. Many may consider the unique jokers the most interesting component from a collector perspective. The courts feature variations of standard courts with modified outfits and smokey/faded look. The tuck also claims to feature the first use of a wraparound design. Per playingcards.wikidot.com, they are printed on \\\\\\\"Aurora\\\\\\\"" stock

The Second Edition of Artifice added a functional border on the back to improve upon the deceptiveness of sleights requiring the alignment of cards, such as a Push Off Double or Elmsley count.  However, the purple from the 2nd edition does not have the white border like the v2 blue and emerald, but instead a black border with white face which limits the benefits of the second edition.

Red. It is the symbol of passion, courage and sacrifice. It is the color of warning, of lethality, of danger. The color of power. Of kings. Of prosperity. It was only a matter of time until we captured that spirit in a deck of cards.

The Zenith uncut sheet is the rarest Encarded item avaliable for public sale. Only 15 of them were made and just 10 were available for sale in the Encarded store. Each Zenith uncut sheet was signed and numbered (X/10) in silver ink by Paul Carpenter. The overall affect of the back design when seen in uncut form is almost hypnotic and these sheets are a very special collector item. The sheet is 54 cards, not the 56 typically seen from USPCC decks, and is therefore a slightly different dimension. Actual dimensions are 24 1/4\\\" wide x 22 5/8\\\"" tall."
