It's time to give your moves and routines a boost of extra sweetness with Honeybee Playing Cards - the first-ever deck from Penguin Magic. Designed by Randy Butterfield, the Honeybees are our nod to a traditional Bee-style deck. Instead of a diamond pattern, the deck features a borderless honeycomb pattern complete with 2 realistic honeybees walking on the back. You can almost taste the honey as you gaze at the golden yellow backs! The faces are traditional Bee-style faces with an all-new Beehive Ace of Spades and Beekeeper Jokers, plus a deeper high-roller red on the Hearts and Diamonds plus a new color-scheme and background pattern on all of the court cards. These cards handle like a DREAM. They are printed on US Playing Card's embossed Bee stock with their Grade-A "Magic" finish for ultimate fanning, spreading, durability, and longevity. They have also been traditionally cut (the blade goes through the face side) which makes table faro shuffles and other gambling moves significantly easier to accomplish. We have even included 2 special double-backer cards that you can use for creative magic routines or as cut cards during your weekly poker game!

Three new custom decks of the Omnia Series by Thirdway Industries, designed by Giovanni Meroni and proudly printed by Expert Playing Cards Co. with Classic Finish. 

Based on the ancestors of the first Omnia, these decks will throw you in the Golden Age of the Omnia universe, full of treasures, heroes and war. The legendary, remote past of the Omnia Universe, full of God and Heroes. When everything started. 

• EPCC Dark brown and gold Stardust Paper tuck box  
• Double foil on tuck box, Red and Gold
• Dark background on faces 
• 2 metallic inks on faces, bronze and gold
• Limited Edition ( < 1000 decks printed )
• Custom numbered seal Magnifica is printed mainly for Kickstarter backers. There are 875 decks available on Kickstarter, and I will use the others for personal use and replacements. If some decks are unsold, I'll put them for sale on my http://www.thirdway.it. website at a very high price. Get them now, you won't regret it. Omnia Magnifica is available only in special rewards who include 2 or more Omnia: The Golden Age "unlimited" decks (Antica, or, if Perduta is unlocked, split between Antica + Perduta). 

• Omnia Magnifica hearts, Egyptian. The King is inspired by a divine Pharaoh. Spades, Persian/Babylonian. The King is inspired by a Sultan. Diamonds, Romans. The Jack is inspired by an epic Gladiator, and the King is an Legatus. Clubs, Greek. The King is a blind Prophet, that can see future. The Jack is his personal guard. Queen of Spades is a warrior of the desert, and needs a cloak to protect herself. The Queen of Clubs is a Phytia, an epic warrior priestess who protect the Island of the Sun. Jokers are very important for this deck. They are Sole, the God of the Sun, and Luna, the Goddess of the Moon. Luna's mask is on the tuck box front and Sole's masks are on the back. The powerful queens of two distant empires in war. I consider Omnia Magnifica as my most baroque deck so far.

Funded as a Kickstarter project on July 2, 2015 with $44,147 pledged from 784 backers, this was a set of three decks (Illumina, Oscura & Suprema).
