Cryptic Cards is a sciart project paying homage to the amazing cryptic camouflage found in moths. Every card face in this deck of poker size cards has a detailed & intricate design, and each was hand-painted by me, to camouflage imaginary moths onto each card. Decks were litho printed by Cartamundi UK. Each deck includes 52 cards of the four suits, and 4 jokers, making up a 56-card deck, which comes in a custom designed tuck box. Decks are numbered with a special sticker on the cellophane wrapping, just under the tuck flap

The Blue Crown information: In 2010 stories and artwork were discovered in a book from the early 1700’s that appear to provide evidence about a secret society of magicians. Formed to protect magicians during the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600’s, the Order of the Owl was founded in the Northeastern US. We have painstakingly restored and recreated the artwork we found in order to put this deck into the hands of modern magicians and keep the memory of this society alive. Some believe that the order still exists, though we cannot be sure. Secrets are everywhere. We have printed 5,000 of these amazing decks on top-quality stock and finish. The tuck box has metallic ink, a custom seal, and other surprises. We have also created a limited run of 2,500 white Altruism decks, which we have dubbed Snow Owls. The Snow Owls have been released in limited numbers - keep an eye out for future contests and promotions! -Detailed Artwork by Hydro74 -High-Quality Stock and Finish -Secrets are Everywhere Due to a printing error made at US Playing Card, 1st edition Altruism decks have a duplicate Queen of Hearts. You will receive the Queen of Diamonds for any decks ordered in a protective envelope alongside your decks.
