The Virtuoso P1 deck is a much anticipated release after years since the last project. The Virts P1 deck is the first of the brand new Perspective series. It uses the PRISM back design that holds similarities to previous back designs, but adds depth using 3D shadows and shading.

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

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.

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.

Specific entry for the unnumbered version of the Cardistry Con 1st Edition of this deck.

From another universe. Following "suit" with the V7s, we decided to put out a limited number of V8 Parallel Edition sets. Designed to be the "inverse" of the main deck, this is a must-have for collectors and Orbit enthusiasts who want to complete the line of orbit decks.

Quantity: 10,000 / Half brick box quantity: 500 / Deck specs: Air-cushion finish / Premium stock / Traditionally cut / Thin crushed / Matte tuck / Made at USPCC. The first Orbit xmas deck. Was also available in a half brick box, of where there were 500 available.

The 6th installment of the Orbit Deck is finally here. This deck is a result of a team effort by the entire Orbit Crew, and it's our most ambitious design to date. We took the best parts of the V4/V5 and combined them to make the V6. Our shared love of space, aliens, and trees made this design a beautiful harmony of things we love. The new Orbits will have the same crushed premium stock, same matte box, and same traditional cut as the V5s. Here's what we have updated: New alien Jokers who have abducted Carl and are now riding his bike! New one-way back design that will be a puzzle to solve We feel that the traditionally cut, crushed premium stock, made on the web press, creates the best feeling deck, ever. There are only around five decks out there that have this exact recipe -- two of them are Orbits. If you've felt the V4s and V5s, then you probably know what we're talking about. Since we have the feel finely tuned, we are spending a lot more of our time on design now. The entire Orbit Crew sat down and spoke about design theory along with what makes playing cards look good up close and from afar. We made more renditions of this edition than all previous back designs combined. We believe we have a formula for what makes a deck aesthetically pleasing. After months of brainstorming, we came to this final design. We couldn't be happier and it's our favorite deck to date. One of our rules is, we don't create a new Orbit Deck unless it's going to be our new favorite. If you're counting V1-V5, we have sold out of approximately 60 thousand Orbit Decks in total since the release of the V1s back in 2015. They are found in every country across the planet and the demand is only getting higher.

This is a deck released for C.C. 2019 1000 were printed and numbered, although some got dents and never were sold. To make up for that, some unnumbered ones were also sold later on. Decks are the same except the seal. Don't mistaken them for the V1, these have a mate finish and the OG is glossy. These also have thinner borders

Welcome back guys! Chris here. Welcome to the seventh edition. Orbits are going 80's. For this edition, the crew and I sat down and reviewed a lot of 80's art to come to this final design. We missed clean borders and wanted something more minimal than the V6 but still with the element of intricacy within some part of it. The V7 features a pink dominant center along with the mountain range from the V5 Orbits that are now inverted, so they are a window to what's behind the card rather than the original mountains. Upon close inspection, constellations can be seen in the star belt.The rainbow at the bottom of the box inside the Orbit logo is a direct tribute to the lives lost in the 1986 space shuttle Challenger on their mission STS-51-L. The last names of the crew can be found on the inside of the V7 tuck because those who gave their lives for space exploration should never be forgotten. NASA halted missions for 2 years after the tragedy but when they came back, the mission patches had a rainbow in the center to signify life along with 7 orange stars to remember the 7 lives lost. Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Michael Smith, and Dick Scobee. The rainbow was saying that NASA is back and alive but will carry the life of their fallen astronauts. It is a beautiful tribute to the lives lost in 1986. We're doing our part to ensure their legacy lives on. Pips and indices. I knew I wanted a retro design that people would have been using in the 80's. I asked USPC if they had the retro Arrco pip package. Their archives didn't go back that far. Luckily, I have a retro Arrco deck in my private collection from the 70's that Nick Stumphauzer gave to me as a gift -- it was found in his grandparent's attic. Holly scanned over the cards, we sent them to Daniel, and he did the rest. If you look closely at the pips and indices, you'll see that they are a bit thinner than previous Orbit pip packages (that are also Arrco) and look a little wavy. This was not an accident. I wanted to capture the essence of a 70's deck that would have been used in the 80's, imperfections and all. You won't find another deck in this millennia with this retro pip package. The red has been replaced with pink on the V7's for an extra eye-catching aesthetic. New Court faces. We have added 3 new faces. The Queen of Clubs is my childhood best friend's mom, Nancy. I've known her since I was 11 and she is like a second mom to me. The King of Clubs is her husband, Matt (Big Matt). They have been there for me during some pretty important moments in my life and have guided me through some tough times. They deserve to be here in the deck. The final card is the King of Spades, none other than my mentor in magic, John Bodine. John has kept me headed in the right direction in my magic career, is a life mentor to me, and even invested in the my website to get it up on its own two feet back in 2012. Not sure I'd be where I am today without him in my corner.

During the V7 design process, Daniel Schneider, showed me the final render of the inside of the V7 box. I was so blown away by how 80's it looked. My wife Holly said "That should be it's own deck." I thought about it for a while and it just made too much sense not to do. I knew the parallel universe concept had to be used here, which is why they were dubbed the "Parallel Edition". So, Daniel and I got to work and adjusted this to so it made sense as a back design. We had a think tank session that lasted around 4-5 straight hours. From there we did a few minor adjustments throughout the following week or so. The outside of the V7 box is the inside of the V7p box. Throughout the deck of the V7p's you'll find some things have been changed/flipped from the V7 to further highlight the fact that you're now in a parallel universe. We'll let you search for them. The matte lavender color that replaced the red cards give a softer tone while pairing nicely with the dark purple icons on the back design.

Welcome to Mars. Taking every note from Orbit editions before it, we're excited to unveil the newest iteration of the iconic Orbit deck. Inspired by the spirit of space exploration and the towering Martian mountains from beyond our atmosphere, the Orbit V8 boasts a wide gamut of orangish navy colors while simultaneously commenting on how far we've explored into space, and where we've yet to go. The Orbit crew can be pictured near the rover on the back design amidst the mountains.
