Absinthe - the Green Fairy of spirits, has long been associated with the bohemian lifestyle, with famous drinkers including Picasso, Van Gogh, Hemingway, Oscar Wilde and Toulouse-Lautrec. These cards embody the allure of the emerald drink, the hallucinogenic haze, sugar crystals in the night, the Ace of Spades modelled after the filigree of the absinthe spoon. With its heavy embossing and text that pokes fun at itself, even the box appears to have had a few drinks. Printed at USPCC on the finest stock available, only 5000 of the Absinthe First Edition decks exist. Absinthe playing cards are only available in the Prohibition Box Set.

Whiskey is as American as apple pie. The oak tree on the front of the tuck box and seal - a symbol of the aging process for fine bourbon, matured in charred oak barrels to develop the distinct smoky flavour. This oak motif continues throughout the cards, from the Ace of Spades right around to the back design.

 

While bars before prohibition were predominantly male domains, in the 1920's many women flocked to speakeasies in their best flapper attire. We've taken inspiration from images of the era to design the court cards, the art-deco was very in-vogue at the time.

Dealers Playing Cards contain a Daniel Madison marking system. With each deck, you will receive a downloadable movie teaching the system. Marked decks can cost between $20-$30, but Daniel wishes to offer his system at the price of a normal deck of cards as you can see above. Dealers in Erdnase Green use the exact pantone color of the book Expert at the Card Table by S. W. Erdnase. As used in 1902, these playing cards utilize an edge-to-edge borderless casino "gambling house" design. If you are worried about double lifts etc, perhaps it's time to stop relying on white borders to hide inefficiencies. These cards will help you to get good at what you do. Madison has used the edge-to-edge design for that single purpose since he was a teenager taking people's money in real games. We cannot emphasize enough. The cards are printed to Daniel's specifications and are the essence of a standard held long ago. They almost fan themselves. Seconds are smoother than anything you may have been advantaged to feel before. If you believe these fine playing cards fit your personal style, pick up a deck or twelve and put them through the wringer: bottoms, centers, shifts, palms, changes and switches. See how these trusted sleights feel in your hands.

When Daniel Madison designed the original black Madison Rounders, he also made 2500 decks of Scarlet Rounders that would be used in promotions and giveaways - as well as for Daniel\'s own supply. Eventually, the supply dissipated. In 2014, Daniel created and printed only 2500 decks of Private Reserve Rounders. He re-designed the box, changed the Joker to the one found in the White Rounders, added a Gaff card for one of his favorite gambling routines \'The Poker Lesson\' and changed most of the court cards. Daniel also changed the stock and finish of the deck to closer match a thicker and sturdier Bee deck of cards, the finish is unique to the Private Reserve Rounders. The Private Reserve Rounders will never be available for general sale.
