Funded as a Kickstarter project on September 25, 2014 with $29,091 pledged from 722 backers, this was a single deck also available in uncut form with a number of art related add ons. Designed by Emmanuel Jose as his third semi-transformation deck, it features a circus theme with all original artwork cut by hand out of paper with a scissors. This USPCC printed deck features 54 fully custom cards (including 2 jokers) and the custom back in a semi-transformation style. Every element of this breathtaking deck was created entirely by hand, he did not use digital software, or pen and ink. Every design was painstakingly crafted out of paper. Emmanuel created 1 card per week for an entire year to finish the complete deck! The back design was created to appear like an admission ticket to the circus. The entire deck has a black, white, and red color scheme, which extends to the striking tuck box. This PCDB Entry is for the deck itself. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/emmanueljose/sawdust-circus-playing-card-deck-uspcc-printed http://emmanueljose.com/ Sawdust also won the Best Uncut Sheet award from UnitedCardists 2014 Deck of the Year http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6448

A very special edition deck will be released in which I create a Black, Silver and Red version of the Holmes / Moriarty Back design and combine it with the court cards of the Baker Street Edition. It also have a completely new tuck case. Any thing that is red on the tuck case is metallic red foil. All of the designs are also embossed into the tuck case.

Ellusionist information: In 2012, Peter McKinnon and Daniel Madison collaborated on a video project in the dry lake-beds of Las Vegas, not quite realising at that time such a simple meeting of two creative minds would lead them to The KINGS deck. Whenever Peter and Daniel work together, waves are made and a unique creative vessel is opened. The Kings deck is the ultimate representation of their joint creative forces. Peter and Daniel spent a lot of time brainstorming, designing and creating their ideal deck of cards… Cards that would be fit for Kings. Peter and Daniel were meticulous and scrupulous with their requirements for the deck. They tested numerous stocks and finishes until they found and created a unique Kings finish and stock. The cards were traditionally cut to further advance gambling techniques, they are sturdy yet flexible enough for cardistry and sleight-of-hand. They wanted a box that would look like a block of gold - direct from the Kings share - with a deck of cards perfectly designed to cater for both minimalistic beauty and a stunning design, but it didn’t stop there… Peter and Daniel decided to make the Kings deck a secret weapon right out of the box… Readily stacked in Mnemonic AND fully marked so that not only would the performer be able to identify every singe card in the deck by the back alone, but also have the ability perform instant Mnemonic miracles. They added a double-backer and two unique and personalised jokers, and on top of that, they lost the ad-card and replaced it with an Angle Z Gaff card. Two years in the making, Peter and Daniel returned to Las Vegas to celebrate their creation and film a heist that would represent their collaborative brilliance.

"This is the first LPCC deck collaboration with the talented artist Nick Vlow. It features a beautiful matte uncoated paper tuck box, with UV accents, and a minimal back design that flourishers and cardists will love.

ONIDA was printed in Taiwan, with our durable and snappy and durable Diamond Finish card stock, and our ultra smooth 'Diamond Cut' edges. Only 2,000 decks were printed." (Legends Playing Card Company)

Also available in a white version which was released later (May 2013), this deck from Theory 11 was released near the end of 2012, was illustrated by hand in South Africa and designed by Simon Frouws. They featured elegant gold foil stamped onto ultra-lux black paper derived from sustainable forests. Produced by USPCC, the stock is from FSC-certified papers derived from sustainable forests, vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates. Sealed with a red tax-stamp, vintage sticker seal marked with the exact month and year of print. Containing largely standard face cards, the emphasis is on the premium foil tuck, card back artwork and stock quality that also was environmentally conscious.

The Legends 202 decks by Legends Playing Cards were a set of 3 varied color decks of red, blue and black. The tuck case featured 3D embossing and a custom die-cut tuck box with interior foil. The cards designed by Mark Stutzman utilized two tone printing. Symbolism was also referenced for each deck with gold and black for the sun and land, silver and blue for the moon and heavens, and red on white for the double crown encompassing upper and lower Egypt. There are only 3,202 decks printed per color of Legends 202 Egyptian Edition. The decks were also hinted at containing hidden secrets, similar to prior decks. While they did include a marking system for identifying cards from the card back, there were flaws in the clubs suit where the 8 and 9 have the same markings on the back (ribs of the hound). This error then caused the 10 to read as a 9, Jack as 10 and Queen as Jack. While the King of clubs returns to the proper markings, this is a total of 4 cards that provide the wrong information. A secret webpage was also made available with clues to this and other secrets: http://legendsplayingcards.com/pages/a6q6wz Legends #202 - Egyptian Edition 1. The path to enlightenment is dotted with clues 2. Only the penitent man shall pass 3. Paper ribs offer support 4. Infinity waits at heaven\'s gate 5. Golden ratio at white boarders wait 6. See the world in a grain of sand 7. The Pharoh\'s 4th reign shall stay stacked against all odds 8. Behind the pyramids seal of par, lies the color of thoughts. Mask the secret with wet not dry. Only through destruction can a once Sharp eye reveal a treasure in three white flashes.
