The Sultan. Once the most powerful man in the known world. A Commander. A Ruler. A God King. It was at the Sultan\'s behest that the Republic rose. Altruistic and philanthropic, the Sultan now shares his wealth with his people. We searched out to capture the majesty of the Sultan, of the treasures he amassed, and the stories of a simpler time. Over 8 months in the making, lead designer Mike Clarke spent countless hours finessing the design of everything from the curlicues on the box flap to the muted red lines of the herringboned hearts, delivering the perfect balance of form and function throughout. Printed on the finest stock the US Playing Card company has to offer, the pulp fibres have been specially compressed to offer the utmost in durability whilst achieving a thinner card with a pleasing snap. Layered with Ellusionist\'s own Performance Coating finish, the Sultan Republic is quite possibly the best deck we have ever made. But don\'t take our word for it - try them out for yourself.

The Blue Crown information: In 2010 stories and artwork were discovered in a book from the early 1700’s that appear to provide evidence about a secret society of magicians. Formed to protect magicians during the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600’s, the Order of the Owl was founded in the Northeastern US. We have painstakingly restored and recreated the artwork we found in order to put this deck into the hands of modern magicians and keep the memory of this society alive. Some believe that the order still exists, though we cannot be sure. Secrets are everywhere. We have printed 5,000 of these amazing decks on top-quality stock and finish. The tuck box has metallic ink, a custom seal, and other surprises. We have also created a limited run of 2,500 white Altruism decks, which we have dubbed Snow Owls. The Snow Owls have been released in limited numbers - keep an eye out for future contests and promotions! -Detailed Artwork by Hydro74 -High-Quality Stock and Finish -Secrets are Everywhere Due to a printing error made at US Playing Card, 1st edition Altruism decks have a duplicate Queen of Hearts.
