Abandoned Luxury Playing Cards are Dynamo's personal playing cards. Now available are the new Royal Ivy Edition Playing Cards in vibrant sapphire blue and gold metallic ink.

Abandoned Luxury Playing Cards are a tribute to the world famous magician Dynamo's live tour in London.

Deep in the hotel in an abandoned room covered with ivy, Dynamo amazed audiences and they shared their love of joy and magic.

The flat black matte tuck is adorned with embossed gold and sapphire blue foil on every side. As you enter through the iron gates flanked with gargoyles, you take in the stunning ornamentation and detail of this splendid deck.

The tuck flap is a gold foil sun bringing light to even the darkest of corners of the black matte inside.

Printed on Cartamundi True Linen B9 Slimline the deck is as beautiful to look at as it is to hold. The backs highlight the wrought iron gates intertwined with ivy and gold metallic ink.

The boarders are thin to create beautiful fans. The court cards let the colors shine through, while the traditional pips are perfect for magic effects.

You will find them on the streets sharing their art form with the world. They are masters in their craft, be it music, dance, painting, drama, magic, comedy, acrobatics or juggling and they bring happiness to people everyday. They offer a moment of escape during a busy day and many times give us a refreshing boost. And while their livelihood depends on the tip you drop in their hat, they perform for the love of their craft.

Limited edition of 2,500. No reprints -- once they're gone, that's it.

For this project, the beginnings were a little bit different. Many times between projects I will spend a few days just gathering reference and pouring over tons of beautiful images of art and other things that I might find inspiration from.

As I was searching for a creative direction for a new project, a song began to play on my playlist that really caught my attention. My wife sometimes calls me a nerd in my choice of music. I enjoy listening to all types of music but when I am working I seem to find the most focus listening to instrumental music from cinema, games, and other types of media.

This song captivated me, and it was the catalyst for the entire project. I put it on repeat and listened to it to all day while creating a completely new set of court cards from the images of, what I would describe as a mixture of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. The designs that transpired over the course of the day were promising to me, and most of very different from any of my previous work.

The title of the deck was actually derived from the title of the song that sparked it, Invocation.

The Copper Editions will be printed by The United States Playing Card Company on Premium Stock with Air Cushioned Finish. The cards and artwork will feature brilliant Copper metallic inks.

The tuck box will be printed by Clover St Press featuring hot foil stamped with Copper and Black Foil. Embossed to enhance the look and feel of the tuck case.
