Daniel Madison: The Black Dealers were a limited run created as my own private reserve, to be personally shared with my friends and used as my regular performing deck. They were produced not to be offered for sale - with the few that I left in the Ellusionist warehouse to be given away in Special Promotions and here in the Rewards Store. When initially designing the Madison Dealers, the borderless design was an imperative element for me, not for the single advantage it lends to certain gambling sleights, but also because of how beautiful the deck looks when the design bleeds the side of the entire deck. When creating a new edition of the Dealers, I didn’t just want to offer a new color, I wanted to do something different. I was very intrigued to see how the Dealers would look with a nice thin border, and when the test deck was printed, I simply had to get these out there.

52Proof Whiskey is as American as apple pie. The giant oak tree on the front of the tuck box and seal a symbol of the aging process for fine bourbon, matured in charred oak barrels to develop the distinct smoky flavour. This oak motif continues throughout the cards, from the Ace of Spades right around to the back design. While bars before prohibition were predominantly male domains, in the 1920\'s many women flocked to speakeasies in their best flapper attire. We\'ve taken inspiration from images of the era to design the court cards, the art-deco look very in-vogue at the time. The Gold Foil stamping on the outside of the tuck and luxurious red satin-finished interior makes 52Proof one of the most gorgeous boxes we\'ve ever produced - and it\'s only available in the Prohibition Box Set.

Moonshine - the spirit of the Appalachians, kept thousands of speakeasy\'s in business during the \'20s, and no Prohibition set would be complete without this sweet, illegal corn liquor. Famous Moonshiners like Rooster Kelley made a name for themselves producing these illegal spirits - and we\'ve chosen to highlight some of these characters in the court cards of the Moonshine deck. The tuck box has been kept simple, but refined, made from a high-quality recycled cardboard, with the Moonshine logo printed and raised in the most precise embossing we\'ve ever seen on a deck of cards. The \'XXX\' on the box and back design indicate this Moonshine has been triple-distilled, yielding a clean, pure spirit - appropriate given the smooth performance of these cards. Limited to just 5,000 decks in this First Edition printing, the Moonshine Deck is available exclusively in the Prohibition Boxed Set.

Absinthe - the Green Fairy of spirits, has long been associated with the bohemian lifestyle, with famous drinkers including Picasso, Van Gogh, Hemingway, Oscar Wilde and Toulouse-Lautrec. These cards embody the allure of the emerald drink, the hallucinogenic haze, sugar crystals in the night, the Ace of Spades modelled after the filigree of the absinthe spoon. With its heavy embossing and text that pokes fun at itself, even the box appears to have had a few drinks. Printed at USPCC on the finest stock available, only 5000 of the Absinthe First Edition decks exist. Absinthe playing cards are only available in the Prohibition Box Set.

Rebellion Rum - a Pirate\\\'s first mate, comes straight from the stronghold of Tortuga. Tropical hibiscus flowers adorn the back of the cards while the faces maintain the nautical theme.

Disparos - Spanish for \'shots\', is how tequila should be consumed. Taking inspiration from the vaqueros and gunslingers of the Mexican old west, the tequila deck is a piece of history. The block printing design and false-edge border gives these cards a rustic look, the kind you\'d expect to find regularly laying about on a three-legged wood table in the local cantina, stained with condensation rings from the cold tequila glasses. No detail has been overlooked with this design, despite the look of the paper, it is the highest quality stock available, finished with Performance Coating for that distinct Ellusionist Deck feel. Jokers show the before and after scenes of the classic tequila shot and an ad card describes how those over the age of 21 can get in on the action. With embossed sugar skulls, duelling pistols and custom everything, these are shots of Tequila you won\'t regret in the morning. Printed in a limited run of 5,000, the First Edition Disparos Deck is exclusively available in the Prohibition Boxed Set.

WhiteWolf - Premium Vodka that lends itself to design as stark and crisp as the Russian Tundra. Lead designer Mike Clarke took a very different angle with this deck, giving it a modern, minimalist twist. Sporting half-shaded pips and single-line drawing courts, these cards capture the purity of fine vodka itself. A speckled paper overprint on thin cotton stock give match a truly luxury feel with an otherwise austere composition. Although the brand WhiteWolf was created just for these cards, we truly believe that its magic should be bottled. This deck looks like it was created to be sold with bottles of WhiteWolf Vodka, the one deck in the Prohibition Series that comes across as commercial design. If you like the simplicity of the Madison Rounders back design, you are going to love these. WhiteWolf is available exclusively in the Prohibition Box Set.

Born from a long forgotten prototyped sheet, the Red Arcane deck was produced to bring a little extra colour to the regular Ellusionist Holiday Giveaway. When Ellusionist released the Red Arcane sheets at the beginning of 2013, their Facebook page and Email boxes were inundated with comments begging for the red deck to be made. Not ones to ignore the voices of their customers - so Ellusionist set out to manufacture this limited edition deck and it was originally only given away free to Black Club members as a surprise bonus - then made available exclusively in their 2013 Holiday Giveaway. The Arcane Red Edition is now a Very Rare collectable deck, no more Red Arcane decks will ever be printed again.

From the Ellusionist website: This deck is not for sale, and is only available through special promotions. A dignified and minimalist design imbues the LTD Playing cards with a dignified quality. The card box is printed a deep crimson red outside and INSIDE of the case to permeate the entire deck with high design. Designed with help from card pro, Daniel Madison, the card backs reflective of the timeless diamond pattern design that give the LTD its signature appeal. Only 5000 LTD decks will ever be crafted.

The 1800 Vintage deck now holds a very special secret. Each card is individually marked with a covert system entwined into the natural design, allowing you to instantly read the suit and value simply by peeking the back. No detail was left untouched-- artwork on each card was delicately hand-crafted by Ellusionist\'s top graphic team. Even the seal on the deck looks like it was left in a gritty New York alley \"for a spell\""."
