After a year of detailed development with the United States Playing Card Company, we are proud to introduce The Black Lions, printed on custom casino-quality card stock and traditionally cut with new blades to create our best feeling deck yet.

Our new soft-touch box design features a two-tone black finish and silver foil stamping on top of a fully detailed quality embossing. Each deck comes in Tamariz stack and contains a number of new never-before seen hidden features. 

Based off 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 was designed by Sam Devins to incorporate a simple, symmetrical back, perfect for card games and magic performances alike. Now, we're back in black! Pure Imagination Projects is so excited to present the newest release of the Cherry Casino Playing Cards with a darker scheme. The black version is even better than the last, new and improved on crushed Bee stock with metallic red ink throughout - they look as beautiful as they handle and we can not wait to get them into your hands. https://www.murphysmagic.com/Product.aspx?id=60352

The second edition to the Regalia Playing Cards series. From the creative mind of Shin Lim and printed in Belgium by Cartamundi, comes a one of a kind deck which was first introduced last year with an overwhelmingly positive response. The box is made from two protective pearlized white casings, with an inner and outer cellophane wrap. These individually gold foiled cards are sealed to withstand any extreme heat or humidity during shipment. Our priority for the Regalia series has always been quality. Each card has been carefully hot stamped with gold foil and then protected with a true B9 finish, thus to not compromise the feel and fluidity with each shuffle or flourish. Created for the magician in mind, every card in the deck has been designed to look standard(with the exception of the Jokers and Ace of Spades). Subtle changes however has been added to the court and number cards. Such as minor details like the stem of the spade, to the borders of the face cards. Each small alteration gives a sense of elegance everytime you open the deck. Inspired by Russian art and specifically from the paintings on the walls of the historic Hermitage museum, the regalia back design is a perfect balance of complexity and minimalism.

"Regalia is a symbol of excellence, prestige, and innovation. The moment your audience gazes at each individual gold-foiled card, they'll know they're about to witness something spectacular. Each card is crafted with the finest crushed linen paper found in Belgium. And the gold foil was developed and produced in-house to the most exacting standards by Cartamundi. "And now the box - it's a revolutionary two-layer case, featuring both a luxurious appeal as well as double-layer protection for the cards. Covered in gold embossed foil, this box is in perfect harmony to the prestigious cards. "And while this is absolutely not how I speak in real life, I just wanted to write something fancy for the ad copy. This is seriously an amazing deck of cards. They feel great in the hands and yes, they Faro shuffle perfectly. I present to you Regalia Playing Cards, printed by Cartamundi, designed by Nick Vlow, and produced by yours truly."
