The original designs of the deck are all inspired by folk designs from Russian heritage and culture. Traditional folk art has always played an intrinsic part of domestic culture across Russia and represents traditions and practices of the citizens.

Russia has a very long, rich and visual cultural past, from its colorful folk costumes to its ornate religious symbols.

Russian Folk Art "Special Edition" combines flowers, leaves, people, musical instruments and geometric shapes with stylized depictions of birds and animals, as well as mythological creatures.

Born from the wild forests, rolling hills, and snow-capped mountains of Northern California, the Antler Playing Cards embody the majestic beauty of the great outdoors. This Standard Edition features two monochromatic back-designs: Hunter Green and Deep Maroon. Twin Bucks (Dan & Dave Buck, get it?) are enshrined within beautiful flourishes that mimic the lush greenery found within Yosemite National Park. The Ace of Spades features a noble Buck with herbaceous ornamentation crowning his dignified antlers, and each Joker offers the Antler name. The tuck-case features rich embossing and metallic accents all around. Each deck handles beautifully, but we encourage you to embrace them as much for their superb handling as for the sense of adventure that they inspire. These are as perfect for formal performance as they are for an evening enjoyed around the campfire. Printed by the USPCC to Dan & Dave specifications.

Color isn't just important in fashion. The color of your deck is a statement and it reflects your personality. You have plenty of possibilities today, but the Black Roses Altrosa Playing Cards stands out with its dusky pink color. Gentle and yet meaningful. Not too fancy, to distract the spectator from your routine. But an eye-catcher with which you are fully in line with the trend. Daniel Schneider - who began designing the Black Roses Altrosa Playing Cards right after he finished the 7th edition of the Orbit deck - also redesigned the face cards in this deck. No two Black Roses decks look alike, so you get more than just another colored deck. The Black Roses Altrosa Edition is the fifth deck in the Black Roses series.

Whiskey is as American as apple pie. The oak tree on the front of the tuck box and seal - a symbol of the aging process for fine bourbon, matured in charred oak barrels to develop the distinct smoky flavour. This oak motif continues throughout the cards, from the Ace of Spades right around to the back design.

 

While bars before prohibition were predominantly male domains, in the 1920's many women flocked to speakeasies in their best flapper attire. We've taken inspiration from images of the era to design the court cards, the art-deco was very in-vogue at the time.

Sea Green Keeper Decks are the third in the popular 'Keepers' series of playing cards. Conceived by Adam Wilber and brought ashore by Oban Jones, Keepers are quite possibly the rider-backs of the future. A beautifully classic design that stays quiet while your magic does the talking. Created with the worker in mind, Keepers feel spectacular right out of the box. As a professional, you want a deck to instantly feel comfortable in your hands, as an extension of you. Printed on Cartamundi's famed B9 stock for durability, witha true linen finish, these feel as soft as the splash of a gentle ocean wave and outlast any deck we've ever put it head-to-head against. Keepers set a new expectation for what an everyday deck should feel like.

 

A vivid and evocative casino-style deck, SHARKS V2 is the latest creative collaboration between British magician DMC and magic designer Phill Smith. As the creative alliance behind the now world-famous and award-winning ELITES playing cards, this latest unmarked creation harks back to the first ever deck created by the pair, the SHARKS V1. Originally produced as an on-screen character deck for DMC's first National Geographic television special, 'CARDSHARK' (2012), the first edition of SHARKS has since become incredibly sought after by card collectors worldwide. As the two continue today to produce many tens of thousands of decks that are used by some of the most influential names in magic, the SHARKS V1 was the project that started it all - with an initial print run of just 500 units. SHARKS V2 have been designed for the more discerning card worker looking for a timelessly elegant design for their performances, produced by USPCC on their finest stock and with special embossing and silver foiling details on the tuck case.
