Given away as a random wristband prize during Ellusionist's 2017 holiday promotion and a christmas event during a three day span. Very rare.

 

THE ICONIC DECK. BACK IN BLACK

For almost a century, 'The Expert At The Card Table' has been considered indispensable to attaining the highest level of card mastery. Recognised as the go-to text on deception with a deck of cards. The search for the elusive author has led us to 12 men who could carry the burden of the world's greatest cheater. One mystery gave birth to a myriad of authors, fans and obsessives. We aren't sure which we are. It's speculated that it's simply an anagram of E. S. Andrews. Others say that it was Herbert Lee Andrews creating an anagram from his wife Emma's name. Some say it was a Chicago Railroad worker, and others choose to believe it was printer Harry S. Thompson covering his tracks. The truth we choose to believe is that S. W. Erdnase is a lifestyle, for those who want to keep their addiction hidden. To not let the world know how devious they are. This all started as a fitting tribute to magic's most famous stranger, and a friend to us all.  

THE CARDS Featured on the back is a deep black replica of Erdnase's green book, and the box is laced with vibrant gold-foil. Distracting other players at the table while you stack the deck in your favor. The finish is customised, smooth and time-honored. With production humidity, ink weight and storage researched with as much care and attention as the card table artifice from the book. Anyone with a deck of cards and passion can be Erdnase, Erdnase is an idea... and we'll never truly prove who he was.

Inspired by the Greek river Styx and the Styx Dead Head Hawk Moth, comes the Bicycle Styx Playing Cards. Conceived by Eric Ross, and custom designed by Nick Vlow --they have captured the tenuous balance between this world and the underworld. Beautiful in its symbolism, because the designs on the thorax of the moth look curiously like skulls. These moths have been used by artists and filmmakers such as "Silence of the Lambs" to symbolize the patterns of the dead, and the idea of rebirth and transformation that the killer is trying to go through to become a beautiful creature. Let your magic transform in the same way by using these cards. The moth is also known as going blindly towards the light...some would interpret this as having unshakable faith and determination--the kind you need to be a great magician. Capture this spirit. This deck is truly a beautiful dazzling example of symbolism and art, brought to you with the utmost care and quality.
