These were specially made for the wedding of Laurel Brandstetter and Ricky Smith and were given as gifts to all of the attendees. Robert-Houdin was the father of modern magic and is known for many original inventions. One of his most famous is the Orange Tree, a marvelous illusion in which an orange tree blossoms and then gives fruit right before your eyes. The effect ultimately reveals a borrowed ring inside one of the oranges, and is what inspired the way in which Ricky proposed to Laurel.

Good and Evil. Right and Wrong. Light and Darkness. Archangels. Inspired by mythology, crafted by hand, and ripped from the pages of legend, comes a new level of intricate design - the Archangel Playing Cards. Showcasing a battle of EPIC proportions. A juxtaposition of good and evil, the Archangels illustrate an epic battle of angels and demons. A close look at the back design reveals a tale of two opposing forces. The angels on the left, and the demons on the right - locked into an eternal stalemate. Six months of painstaking pen-and-ink illustration. The result? Simply epic. Archangels contain original artwork on the box, back design, Joker, and the Ace of Spades. Never before seen debossed ridges provide a unique feel that compliment the gold foil across the face and sides of the playing card box. Made in the USA at The United States Playing Card Company on top of the line quality papers, stock, and finish. Produced by theory11 and illustrated by Tom Lane in the United Kingdom. Eco Friendly. Archangels are printed on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests, using vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates.

After two long years of meticulous design we’re pleased to unveil a project that will rival all those that came before it. MAKERS are the most intricate and luxurious deck we’ve produced to date. From the moment the cellophane comes off, to the first perfect faro, it’s evident no detail was spared. MAKERS is the meeting point between art and functionality—they are an experience to behold.

Out of the box, conjurors and collectors alike will enjoy 14 custom illustrated court-cards representing the foundational “makers” civilization has been built on. To us, these individuals are the pillars of unparalleled craftsmanship: something that we hold in the highest regard.
