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 tuck has a modified face design containing stylized 'SM' instead of the original piece of art. Only first edition box set decks (pictured here) come with the custom seal. Further reprints are without seal. Court cards are not the original Smoke&Mirrors courts but standard USPCC court cards. Cards are printed on a cream stock similar to the Vintage Plaid decks also by D&D.

Conceived for the magicians Dave and Dan Buck, the English Laundry deck features the hand-drawn art of Christopher Wick, the renowned fashion designer of the English Laundry brand. A limited edition, the deck is poker sized, features silver metallic ink, and was printed on Bicycle stock. Released in 2010 to commemorate the launch of their new line of button-up shirts. All the court cards are hand-drawn: the King displays the picture of King Henry VIII and has the word “Arrogant” written underneath. The Queen is – supposedly - the hand-drawn picture of Queen Elizabeth I and has the word Elegant written underneath. The Jack displays the picture of Winston Churchill and has the word “English” written below. The deck also includes four custom Aces, two custom Jokers, blank faced gaff card, as well as a double backed gaff card.
