Ellusionist started the custom deck market with the Black Tiger Deck, since then we've spawned an entire product category for young designers to express their art.

In our 18 year history, we've never collaborated with a single one of them... until now.

What drew us to working with Nicholas Earl and his company Got Magic? was his unwavering dedication to quality. Making THE best product, regardless of cost.

Going against the grain of business practices, we've thrown the kitchen sink at this deck. It has metallic ink faces, foiling, an embossed custom tuck and was packed by hand to ensure each deck's perfection.

The design and the name echo an ethos of change. The back design features the famous 'VIEWS' optical illusion that gets more trippy the more you stare, making Views x Ellusionist a celebration of your unique perspective.

Whether you're a fan, an avid deck-reseller or a collector you'll be pleased to know that only 5,000 of these decks were printed with USPCC and they won't ever be diluted with a re-run.

Proverbial fence-sitters will miss out, guaranteed.

Red. It is the symbol of passion, courage and sacrifice. It is the color of warning, of lethality, of danger. The color of power. Of kings. Of prosperity. It was only a matter of time until we captured that spirit in a deck of cards.

An unlimited SILVER edition printing of our critically-acclaimed Monarch Playing Cards, widely respected as "the world's finest playing cards."

In 2011, we released the original Monarchs, featuring gold foil, navy blue paper, and elegant, sleek, minimalistic design. A triumph of form and function, the designed was featured on Luxist, The Die Line, Hollywood motion pictures, and high fashion publications.

Today, we present a new, unlimited edition: Silver Monarchs. Dressed in white, and printed on FSC-certified paper with embossed, silver foil. The Silver Monarchs are fit for a king and as striking as ever.

Playing Cards Fit for a King

THE FINEST. THE BEST.

Monarch Playing Cards are used throughout the film by the cast, and this special edition features the Now You See Me 2 title across the front in breathtaking silver foil.

Black & Silver

A NEW LIMITED EDITION

With a deep black box laced with silver foil, this special limited edition deck of Monarchs is available for a LIMITED time. Monarchs are featured prominently throughout the film, and this is your chance to be a part of the magic!

Red variant of Theory 11's High Victorian Playing Cards. The back design is also color-shifted to red. With standard High Victorian seal.

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.
