Original deck developed by magician Sean Devine, Mantis Playing Cards is proudly produced by Butterfly Playing Cards and designed by Manel. A deck created for magic, it is inspired by classic designs from the 19th and 20th centuries, and adopted the elusive mantis! - as there was an urban legend that says: "When you see a mantis, beware of smoke and mirrors."

The back design is created as close towards a vintage feel. To complete it, the Courts are illustrated as those in 1885 Bicycle decks: redrawn and perfected by Daniel Schneider - the blue colors are substituted with the same green as the backs. The Ace of Spades feature a beautiful illustration of mantis within the enlarged Spade pip. The Jokers feature identical illustration of the titular insect.

The deck is marked: there are three ways that you can use to use this deck as your magic tool. Also, the deck comes in Si Stebbins stack.

Introducing the Asura Playing Cards: a collection where each court card has been uniquely crafted, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of historical influences. In this project, you'll discover a seamless blend of intricate line art and the enduring appeal of classic playing card design.

Our card back and card designs effortlessly combines the distinct Asura Realm-inspired style with the timeless allure of classic playing cards. This fusion was achieved through meticulous attention to detail and careful selection of elements. The outcome is a design that embodies the spirit of the Asura Realm, while seamlessly fitting into the classic playing card aesthetic.

The court cards differ between the Red and Blue Versions. The Red Version of the court cards portrays an intense yearning for wealth, power, and social status of the Asuras. On the other hand, the blue version court cards captures a profound sense of never-ending dissatisfaction stemming from relentless battles and conflicts.

The Deluxe Edition features a Fan Display Box. When put on display, its visual impact is truly striking.
