Based on vintage Las Vegas casino playing cards, Cherry Casino Playing Cards pay homage to the classics of Sin City. Like Jerry’s Nuggets or Wynns, the Cherries back design is a simple, symmetrical back, perfect for card games and magic performances alike. With an idea conceived by Sam Devins and illustrated by Franky Morales. Limited print run of 1000 decks exclusively for 52 & Jokers

The inviting blue of Cherry Playing Cards (Tahoe Blue) begs your fingers to touch each card. Feel the refreshing, thin card stock of the cards as they move effortlessly in your hands. It is obvious why all versions of Cherry Playing Cards continue to be sought after by magicians, collectors, and gamblers worldwide. Lake Tahoe has enticed adventurers to come swim in its clear waters during the day, and escape to the casinos at night. Cherry Playing Cards (Tahoe Blue) captures the spirit of an old-time casino, and one of the USA's deepest, clearest lakes, with its mystical pearl tone and the classic cherry symbol. You can almost hear the flick of the cards against the felt table, and the familiar ring of a slot machine jackpot nearby. Designed by Sam Devins in partnership with Derek McKee, Cherry Playing Cards continues to captivate magicians and cardists with unparalleled quality. Printed by U.S. Playing Card Company with specially colored court cards, and custom designed Ace of Spade and Jokers. Includes 2 specially printed gaff cards.

The most limited deck ever released by Theory11, with less than 1 gross being sold. This deck is not an officially released print run but rather the result of a mistake in printing. During the implementation of metallic gold to the deck the execution of printing was not up to standard and the full run was trashed - with the exception of a gross. This deck should be considered an "error" deck rather than a full public release deck. For those looking for the Gold Monarchs featuring hot foil gold on the cards (rather than just metallic gold) please refer to the later edition here: https://www.Portfolio52.com/deck/3690/view

Clear thread around tuck box, as opposed to the gold thread on the v2. On right side of tuck it reads "U.S. Playing Card Company". Original Theory11 circle logo on bottom of box.

Limited Edition Gold-on-Gold

The box is just as breathtaking as the cards within it. For the first time, Monarchs are printed with gold foil on gold paper, deeply embossed and - now more than ever - truly fit for a king.

 

Gold Foil Card Backs

Unlike ANY other Playing Cards

For six months, we’ve been keeping one secret closely guarded. In collaboration with USPC, we began testing an experimental new process, for the first time applying gold foil DIRECTLY on the back of playing cards.

The cards are then processed with Bicycle’s most durable finish - resulting in a card that spreads, fans, shuffles, and tears just like a normal playing card. Based on research at USPC, they’re 400% more durable and 30% more flexible than any other foil application. Scratch them, twist them, tear them, bend them - the foil doesn’t come off.

Virtuoso is a cardistry deck from The Virts based in Singapore.  This group then went on to create 4 decks in the series as of 2019.

Virtuoso SS14 also won the Best Deck for Flourishing award from UnitedCardists 2014 Deck of the Year http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6448

The Virtuoso deck made history in 2012 as the first deck ever designed for Cardistry, and remains today as the choice of top cardists around the globe.

Designed for Cardistry. Dedicated to Cardists.

Originally the Dot Playing Cards were released early October 2017. The Dot design features a visually weighted red dot on a grey back. One-way designs were usually avoided to hide the orientation of the cards, naturally making this an unexplored concept in cardistry back then.
