Neko means Cat in Japanese. And Shinto Neko means those Blessing Cats worshipped by Japan shrines and temples. Japan has many interesting shrine and temple worth to visit. Some of them are calling "Neko-Jinja", that's mean “Cat Shrine”. This is because there had a very very touching and miracle story happened on a cat before, and that wonderful cat became a spiritual mascot or elf of that shrine or temple. Most stories are related to how those blessing cats help people to pass through risks and difficulties. And I truly believe these shrine cats will be our best guardian angel in 2021 ~

The Fujin deck is part of a 2 deck set. The two decks recreate the Japanese classic stories of Fujin and Raijin, with a 21st century look. Fujin is the Japanese god of the wind, often depicted holding a large bag of wind on his shoulders. The design of Fujin Playing Cards and Raijin Playing Cards is the result of a collaboration between the UK illustrator, Fionn Jordan and Bombmagic. Fionn Jordan is an art traveler who has lived in both, Japan and Taiwan for several years, so he is already deep into East Asian culture. Fionn is good at creating comics, hence our inviting him to join this project. The blue deck is Fujin, and the red deck is Raijin. You'll immediately notice the two styles used for the card backs, ghost cards and boxes. 12 court cards were designed with blue spades and clubs for Fujin, and red hearts and diamonds for Raijin, going together like brothers. For numbers, the decks are customized utilizing watercolor strokes from Fionn Jordan. This project was the first time for Bombmagic to do tripartite cross-border cooperation with Taiwan, Japan, and UK.

To celebrate the warm and sunny summer, we are launching a very limited deck of Butterfly Playing Cards. Of the 1000 Summer Edition decks printed, 900 will be available to those lucky enough to be here on the first day of summer: June 21, 2021. The Butterfly Playing Cards Summer Edition is suitable for players, cardists, magicians, and playing card collectors. The deck echoes the beautiful color palette of summer and includes custom court cards, aces, and jokers as well as a blank face card and a double backer. These cards are not marked in any way. The Butterfly Playing Cards Summer Edition was produced by Ondrej Psenicka, designed in Sweden by Stefan Eriksson, colored in the Czech Republic by Tereza Kovandová, and printed by Cartamundi on Slimline stock with a B9 linen finish.

The Cardistry deck series features De'vo's signature twin tip mirror back design inspired from the world's first deck designed for card flourishing - De'vo's PRO XCM SERIES - Dominion. The deck will make different fanning patterns depending on which way they are fanned and because it's a "mirror back", they can be shuffled normally without worrying about messing up the direction of the cards. The twin tip mirror concept is continued onto the face design. The faces also feature a reversed border enhancing two handed cuts. There is also a blank faced card, a new double backer, and blank back design. Cut out the ninja star on the double backer or ad card and with the blank backer you'll have endless amounts of fun and creativity for manipulation or magic. This deck fans and spreads incredibly! And the stock and finish of this deck is superb like all of De'vo's decks! This deck was designed by De'vo and Jay Peteranetz. The Cardistry Ninja deck is LIMITED EDITION, so be sure to pick up a brick or two today!

The second iteration of Technique has been three years in the making and it has gone through multiple design iterations to get it just right. This version is designed to compliment everyday clothing and modern style. With its desert tones, this "Camel" edition will quickly become a staple in your everyday carry.

The deck consists of 5 back designs with a rotating border of color. Each color is parallel to its mate. The location of these colors are based on the most common edge grips used in Cardistry. Since each back is a one way, if you rotate it 180 degrees, you get another back design! 10 in total!

The basic use of Technique is to pick one (or more) of the five colors on the back and that is your contact point. Each time you break off a new packet, you reveal a new back design and also a new location for your chosen color! This forces you to contact only that color and ends up putting you into random, new positions and creating new movements every time you break off a new packet!
