For those who seek Victory, in any endeavour. Joker and the Thief presents a limited edition deck that is an homage to our founder James Milaras’ family.

The name Victory is a direct tribute to the efforts of James’ grandparents, who were Greek immigrants and owned and operated a fish and chips shop in Far North Queensland, Australia in the 80s through to the late 90s. The name of the shop was Victory and became an institution in the small port town of Cairns - known for quality food and customer service. Victory playing cards pays tribute in name to their immigrant spirit of hard work, of which we as a family are grateful to be inspired by and benefit from.

This deck is a limited edition run of 1,000 decks and features:

Dystopia: Interceptor Special Edition is a unique alternative tuck and gilded version of the original Dystopia playing cards. Featuring a monochromatic satin silver tuck box complete with heavy embossing and flame orange foil seal. This tuck box is a tribute to George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road. The director released a special edition black and white cut of the film, and our silver monochrome tuck box pays homage to this version of the movie. Housed inside the box is a gold gilded deck of Dystopia Playing Cards.

A project by Adrian Valenzuela, creator of the AVTones brand. Featuring futuristic and cyberpunk styles in the tucks, cards, and drawer case, the 2049 project highlights five different tucks with two variations on the cards themselves. The tucks include Carbon Standard, Carbon Gilded, Karma Standard, Karma Gilded, and Replica Gilded. The cards are all the same back and face design with orange gilded edges featured for the gilded decks. This deck, Karma Standard, features a soft matte finish white tuck with orange foil highlights and the "wrap around" numbered seals.

Illusion d’Optique is the most jaw-dropping collection of optical illusion playing cards ever assembled. Housed in a wild, rainbow-sheen holographic tuck-case, you may feel like you're hallucinating before you even open up the box. Inside, you’ll find 54 eye-popping original designs created by a master of visual perception, Gianni Sarcone. Watch closely as colors change, shapes transform and static, printed ink seems to come alive. Sarcone has included updated versions of classic illusions, plus innovative new concepts he developed after years of study. Illusion d’Optique is not only a beautiful deck, but it also serves as fascinating proof that seeing is not necessarily believing. Printed by The United States Playing Card Company on our trademark thin-stock preferred by magicians and cardists.

With our third deck we wanted to take a different approach in art style to keep everyone guessing. We decided to bring the theme back to our foundation: Pharmacy. Since we were going back to our roots, we decided that the best way to do so would be to pay homage to the old school small town pharmacies on Main Street. We wanted to bring you back to a time where artwork was ornate and quality items came packaged inside metal tins. Instead of using the standard Bicycle or Arrco courts, we thought that we would update them while still giving them a vintage feel. We teamed up with Russ Gray again (the illustrator from our first deck: Meadowlark Playing Cards) and challenged him to create a classic deck inspired by Vintage Pharmacy. I hope that you enjoy our creation. FEATURES OF PREMIUM EDITION: Back Design: Vintage green background with copper hot foil Front Design: Antique white background full bleed with metallic copper ink. Custom ornate pips and court cards. Identical pharmacist jokers. Tuck Box: High quality paper colored meticulously to match the desired vintage green. Features include black ink, copper hot foil, and embossing. Tin Box: Customized to continue the vintage theme. A green tin box with embossing will house the deck of cards. Foam insert for added protection. Print Run: 1,000 Printed by Legends Playing Card Company with Viper Finish Metallic Copper Ink on all faces. Card back: Copper Hot Foil on PREMIUM Edition. Fully CUSTOM Back Design, Court Cards, Pips, Aces, and Jokers https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meadowlark/pharmacy-on-main-playing-cards/description

Pioneers are fully custom, inside and out. From the distinctive deck seal to the impeccable pips. Every detail and line on the tuck, backs, aces, and jokers was painstakingly hand-drawn by renowned playing card artist Oban Jones. The back design is a celebration of the 1893 World's Fair, a 600-acre spectacle that commemorated the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival to the new world.

Without Bees humans would cease to exist. They are silent heroes dedicated to pollinating our lands and expect nothing in return. Their purpose should not be to serve us, but they do it. That's why Ellusionist is wearing the cape today. Promising 10% of profits of all Super Bees decks sold to IUCN and local Bee charities that need us most. Since starting the fund with Killer Bee Playing Cards, we've raised over $30,000, but that's not enough. Together, we can do more. That's where Super Bees come to the rescue. Featuring Cartamundi B9 white card stock, with true linen finish and metallic gold ink, this feels like the special edition comic book that's worth a million times more in 10 years. Gold backs share the same hexagonal design made infamous by the Killer Bee deck, while the box is a premium stock, ivory white with gold foil detail.

Killer Bees are the mutant hybrid of timid European honey bees and their African cousins.  Like all superhero stories, the Killers were introduced to Brazil by mad scientists to help re-populate their diminishing Bee population.  But no-one could contain them... In 1957, 26 swarms escaped quarantine and declared war on the western hemisphere.  Danger lurking in the skies, these villains will stalk their victims for up to 1/2 a mile..  We wanted to capture the darker bodies of these cold-face killers in our deck. Creating a harsh black back with toxic-waste yellow honeycomb spilt on the back.  The black faces display custom pips and hold a sinister simplicity. Like something you'd expect to see on a discarded barrel of methylamine.  Killer Bees are the result of an unsanctioned lab experiment when toxic-waste spilled into a delicate hive of Honey Bees.

The design concept for this deck is something we like to call selective minimalism. First, we removed as much as possible from a deck of playing cards without sacrificing playability. Next, we highlighted what remained through design that celebrates the smallest of details. Finally, we laid in a heavy dose of luxury by using casino grade crushed stock, copper hot foil details on both card faces, copper gilded edges, and a luxurious "soft touch" tuck box adorned with copper foil.
