Chinatown Market edition Fontaines are the 8th deck of Fontaine Cards by Zach Mueller, made in collaboration with Mike Cherman and world famous Alexander Bortz. A limited run of 10,000 decks are available now.

SLEIGHT edition Fontaines are the 6th deck of Fontaine Playing Cards by Zach Mueller, made in collaboration with Blumhouse Productions. A limited run of 10,000 decks printed by USPCC sold out in 2 hours. They will not be reprinted. In 2015 our friend and director of the film, JD Dillard, asked us if they could use Fontaines in SLEIGHT. We said hell yeah man. A few weeks after I was watching a rough cut of the movie on my laptop. A few months later we all went to Sundance, and the premier was a smash success. Today it's playing in most movie theaters across the USA. Oh, also, it's really great. With the Fontaines being in the movie, we wanted to make a SLEIGHT edition. Something similar to the Black Fontaines seen in the film, we landed on a midnight navy blue.

This is the Gold Edition of the well know Artisan deck from Theory 11. Printed by the USPCC with Gold MetalLuxe on the back and on the Ace of Spades. It has been released in 2019. It was a gift for customers that, in a limited time span, placed orders of $150 or above, at their online shop. Alternatively it was a Target exclusive deck as well, but rare to find.

The Green Monarch box is uniquely composed of two layers - it’s the most durable tuck case we’ve ever made. Monarch playing cards are Made in the USA on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests. The cards themselves are printed with vegetable-based inks.

In 2011, we released the original Monarchs. They quickly became our best-selling deck, and they ushered in a new standard for luxury playing cards. Soon after, we dressed them in red. Monarchs are back in a new print edition, with a much more vivid, vibrant red box.

Red Monarchs are Made in the USA on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests. Printed on Q1 quality stock with our signature Premium 909 Finish.

We spent time refining the world’s finest deck. It turned out better than we could ever imagine. We treated the back design with a vibrant, dramatic shade of red. For the tuck case, we worked alongside our print team to take an existing soft-touch paper and then darkened the tone while maintaining the vibrance of the red color.

The goal was to make playing cards fit for a king. The world’s finest. Regal. We feel one step closer to accomplishing that mission than ever before. We know you’re going to love them. In stock and available for immediate shipping.

Premium, designer playing cards produced in collaboration with Steve Cohen, "The Millionaires’ Magician,” star of Chamber Magic®, a headline show at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.

In August 2013, we began a quest to create playing cards fit for display at the legendary Waldorf Astoria, the gathering place for royalty and the ultra-wealthy. For the past 14 years, Cohen has performed Chamber Magic there, in a private Waldorf Towers suite, for sold-out audiences including Warren Buffett, David Rockefeller, and the Queen of Morocco. In 2012, Cohen became the first magician in a half-century to sell out Carnegie Hall.

Available in Crimson Red and Ming Blue, the cards are produced in the USA using FSC-certified papers derived from sustainable forests, vegetable-based inks, and starch-based laminates.
