Ellusionist July 2019 Mystery deck. The Blue Bicycle 1900s Deck looks like it’s been weathered and abused, exposed to the elements, left to experience every second for over a hundred years. But these cards are an illusion in themselves, because they may look very old, but they handle superbly. You have to keep telling yourself, this is a new deck of cards. The faultless follow-up to the ever-popular 1800s deck, the 1900s deck is full of secrets and history.

The six of hearts. You don't need to see it. All you need to do is mention its name and it's called into existence by your imagination, fully formed in your mind. It's a strange but brilliant phenomenon. You don't need to be shown images of famous pop culture moments/landmarks, because you already know them. The Statue of Liberty Hendrix at Woodstock Houdini in Chains In the same way, playing cards exist beyond a physical form, iconic shapes lodged within our collective memory. "This back design is your favorite back design, because it's every design and no design...all at the same time." The Ace of Spades you conjure up and the courts you know best, yet iconic and recognisable to everyone. There's desperation in distraction. This deck has none. Opening this deck, destroys this deck. The tear-strip tuck case authenticates perfection. Once opened, it can be never fully closed. A commodity to users, a necessity for collectors.

Sea Green Keeper Decks are the third in the popular 'Keepers' series of playing cards. Conceived by Adam Wilber and brought ashore by Oban Jones, Keepers are quite possibly the rider-backs of the future. A beautifully classic design that stays quiet while your magic does the talking. Created with the worker in mind, Keepers feel spectacular right out of the box. As a professional, you want a deck to instantly feel comfortable in your hands, as an extension of you. Printed on Cartamundi's famed B9 stock for durability, witha true linen finish, these feel as soft as the splash of a gentle ocean wave and outlast any deck we've ever put it head-to-head against. Keepers set a new expectation for what an everyday deck should feel like.

Time to hit the road. On the route to nowhere, gas money comes from the pockets of strangers.  With you, is your one accomplice, hero & best friend; your cards.  The Roadhouse deck swings to the rhythm of 50's underground America. Jazz, booze, sex, and generosity. 

You take your seat at the table. The stench of spilled beer, cigarette smoke & corruption fills the air of these backroom games.  The soft cards glide effortlessly across the ash-covered felt and into the hands of your marks.  Each back-design gear blooms like a flower, and the borderless design hides second-deals as easy as you hide your tell.  They lost before you even shuffled the deck.

It's important to not be greedy... an aggressive winner creates a sore loser. You need to be on the road before they can count how much they've actually lost.  The ice in your whisky glass hasn't melted before your tires screech off into the horizon.  Some say it's only cheating if you're caught. Roadhouse. Own yours TODAY. 

Ad copy: "Rockets are a taste of nostalgia. A deck of cards born from a world of pure imagination. Styled from the famous frozen treat, Rockets look just as tasty in your hand. The back design is simple, imperfect and fun. Adding boldness back into your card handling." Notes: The deck comes with two identical jokers, a double backer and an additional 9 of spades.

Full deck scan by macstrat @ https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/305-absinthe/ 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. Originally printed for the Prohibition Box Set, the Absinthe Version 2 deck has been tweaked slightly to keep the integrity in design, whilst also allowing you to own more than one deck, without having to buy multiple Prohibition sets. This deck is too cool for display, it has to be shown off...

Ellusionist started the custom deck market with the Black Tiger Deck, since then we've spawned an entire product category for young designers to express their art.

In our 18 year history, we've never collaborated with a single one of them... until now.

What drew us to working with Nicholas Earl and his company Got Magic? was his unwavering dedication to quality. Making THE best product, regardless of cost.

Going against the grain of business practices, we've thrown the kitchen sink at this deck. It has metallic ink faces, foiling, an embossed custom tuck and was packed by hand to ensure each deck's perfection.

The design and the name echo an ethos of change. The back design features the famous 'VIEWS' optical illusion that gets more trippy the more you stare, making Views x Ellusionist a celebration of your unique perspective.

Whether you're a fan, an avid deck-reseller or a collector you'll be pleased to know that only 5,000 of these decks were printed with USPCC and they won't ever be diluted with a re-run.

Proverbial fence-sitters will miss out, guaranteed.

Given away as a random wristband prize during Ellusionist's 2017 holiday promotion and a christmas event during a three day span. Very rare.

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.
