Shades of metallic red, maroon and blood-orange ink wraps the cold foil backs of the Graveyard Playing Cards. In the light, the 2-way skull appears and disappears from the center of the backs as the angles change. Bone-like shapes surface, much like a skeleton rising above the ashes of a fiery grave. Graveyard Playing Cards are a creepy tribute to skulls, skeletons and graveyards. EVERY inch of these cards are customized. Fronts, backs, indices, pips, court cards, and the tuck itself. All faces are adorned with a light grey design resembling the grey lead of a stained glass window. "Sometimes skulls are thick. Sometimes hearts are vacant. Sometimes words don't work." -James Frey Let the cards speak for you. Slide your fingers over the smooth True Linen B9 finish from Cartamundi. Caress the matte tuck on premium board with dry embossing. Take these cards to your grave.

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. Concept and Production from visionary magician, Eric Ross Illustrated by the great Nick Vlow Manufactured by USPCC

The Planets is a collection of decks representing the planets in our solar system, starting closest to the sun and moving outwards into the surrounding universe. This is the most luxurious Vanda deck series to date. The fifth deck of this series is Jupiter, featuring one-eyed bull-like creatures.

From the artist: "Jupiter was named after god of the sky and thunder and king of the gods in Ancient Roman religion and mythology. The Romans regarded Jupiter as the equivalent of Greek Zeus.

"So, I want this creature to be strong and powerful. There's a story in Greek mythology when Zeus metamorphosed into a beautiful white bull. I took this as an inspiration. But I didn't want just to draw an ordinary bull, more like a creature that resembles a bull. The crown is big and beautiful, because Jupiter is king of the gods. Now, the one eye. On the actual planet, the Jupiter's great red eye (or the red spot) was my inspiration. So, just like the planet has one big eye, so do the creatures living in it. I think it's nice symbolism."
