Daniel Madison and Chris Ramsay have teamed up to bring you one of the most elegant and high quality decks to ever come out of the USPCC. A crushed stock, coupled with a smooth finish and traditional cut, make this deck feel as good as it looks. The Knight: It's the most devastating and unpredictable piece on the board. Unlike the Bishop, Rook or even the Queen, the Knight isn't bound by what surrounds it. It is the only piece capable of escaping its opponents by leaping over them. "I Believe Every Chess Player Senses Beauty..." -GM Vladimir Kramnik. A few surprises lie within the simplistic and classic mate white and gold foil tuck. These hidden features embody the aesthetics and practicality which appeal to magicians, gamblers and chess players alike. Metallic Gold ink coupled with original art work from the insanely creative mind of Oban Jones brings this iconic piece of design to life before your very eyes. YOUR MOVE

The Sisterhood of Blood is a custom designed deck of poker sized playing cards, printed by The Expert Playing Card Company (EPCC). The theme of this deck is based on London vampires from the Victorian era. As with my previous project, The Coven, this deck also features an all female cast of court cards. Each of them have a different story to tell, but together they become The Sisterhood of Blood. Features of the deck include: 12 custom all female court cards All of the vampires are named and all have backstories 4 custom designed Aces 2 facing Jokers with the Raven created out of blood 1 double backer Custom Tuck-box with printing on the inside Custom seal (to be voted for by the backers) Printed by EPCC on their classic finish stock (same as The Coven) The Faces: Each of the vampires have names and backstories that help to bring these beautiful monsters alive. Along side this, each of the groups follow a theme, the Jacks have just fed, the Queens revel in their malice and the Kings immortality is coming to a close. The Aces are all larger and custom designed. The tweaked pips follow a standard position but are slightly smaller and the layout is condensed compared to a standard deck of cards. Even though this is a custom deck I have tried to maintain all the standard features of a normal deck of cards, as I want this deck to be usable and easy to read. These features also include the hidden ones such as the one eyed Jacks and the suicide King.

Funded as a Kickstarter project on December 1, 2014 with $11,686 pledged from 346 backers, this was a 2 deck project consisting of the standard Delirium (Prism) deck and a Signature Edition, plus uncut format.  Designed by Giovanni Meroni through his Thirdway Industries, this deck features a fun cartoonish look of with intricate and modern style, strongly inspired by the classic french playing cards, but with crazy twists.  The deck was printed by Expert Playing Card Co. using their Master Finish.

This PCDB Entry is for the Delirium (Prism) deck that came in a tuck that used a special prismatic stock which changes color at every angle.  Per update direct from the artist, 2,000 decks were printed.

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.

Memento Mori by Chris Ramsay and Murphys Magic.

Good and Evil. Right and Wrong. Light and Darkness. Archangels. Inspired by mythology, crafted by hand, and ripped from the pages of legend, comes a new level of intricate design - the Archangel Playing Cards. Showcasing a battle of EPIC proportions. A juxtaposition of good and evil, the Archangels illustrate an epic battle of angels and demons. A close look at the back design reveals a tale of two opposing forces. The angels on the left, and the demons on the right - locked into an eternal stalemate. Six months of painstaking pen-and-ink illustration. The result? Simply epic. Archangels contain original artwork on the box, back design, Joker, and the Ace of Spades. Never before seen debossed ridges provide a unique feel that compliment the gold foil across the face and sides of the playing card box. Made in the USA at The United States Playing Card Company on top of the line quality papers, stock, and finish. Produced by theory11 and illustrated by Tom Lane in the United Kingdom. Eco Friendly. Archangels are printed on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests, using vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates.

Also know as Madison Dealers v2

Dealers Playing Cards contain a Daniel Madison marking system. With each deck, you will receive a downloadable movie teaching the system. Marked decks can cost between $20-$30, but Daniel wishes to offer his system at the price of a normal deck of cards as you can see above. Dealers in Erdnase Green use the exact pantone color of the book Expert at the Card Table by S. W. Erdnase. As used in 1902, these playing cards utilize an edge-to-edge borderless casino "gambling house" design. If you are worried about double lifts etc, perhaps it's time to stop relying on white borders to hide inefficiencies. These cards will help you to get good at what you do. Madison has used the edge-to-edge design for that single purpose since he was a teenager taking people's money in real games. We cannot emphasize enough. The cards are printed to Daniel's specifications and are the essence of a standard held long ago. They almost fan themselves. Seconds are smoother than anything you may have been advantaged to feel before. If you believe these fine playing cards fit your personal style, pick up a deck or twelve and put them through the wringer: bottoms, centers, shifts, palms, changes and switches. See how these trusted sleights feel in your hands.
