This premium deck of 52 full color playing cards features Hawaiian royalty. This limited collectors run entitled “The House of Kalakaua” represents the last dynasty and final monarchs of the Hawaiian Kingdom government before it was overthrown in the year 1893. The face cards include King David Kalakaua, Queen Lili’uokalani, and Crown Prince William Pitt Leleiōhoku. The Hawaiian Coat of Arms is the focal point on the aces, while the striking foil design on the back of the cards is a re-creation of a traditional design (seen on kapa and other things) by the late artist Michael Pechinski. It is reminiscent of the feathered capes, or ahu ʻula, that chiefs wore in ancient times. Isaac Kneubuhl of Diamond Head Playing Card Company grew up in Kula, Maui in a family of avid card players, which inspired him to create this beautiful deck. It is the perfect stocking stuffer or simple gift for any occasion. “This project represents a culmination of personal memories, a snapshot of a time in Hawaiian history, and a vision of what a true, premium deck of playing cards should be. I hope they bring you some of the same great experiences they have brought to me. Enjoy.” - Isaac Kneubuhl, Diamond Head Playing Card Co. Cards feature foiled tucks, foiled backs, and gilding.

Inspired by the Greek river Styx and the Styx Dead Head Hawk Moth, comes the Bicycle Styx Playing Cards. Conceived by Eric Ross, and custom designed by Nick Vlow --they have captured the tenuous balance between this world and the underworld. Beautiful in its symbolism, because the designs on the thorax of the moth look curiously like skulls. These moths have been used by artists and filmmakers such as "Silence of the Lambs" to symbolize the patterns of the dead, and the idea of rebirth and transformation that the killer is trying to go through to become a beautiful creature. Let your magic transform in the same way by using these cards. The moth is also known as going blindly towards the light...some would interpret this as having unshakable faith and determination--the kind you need to be a great magician. Capture this spirit. This deck is truly a beautiful dazzling example of symbolism and art, brought to you with the utmost care and quality. Concept and Production from visionary magician, Eric Ross Illustrated by the great Nick Vlow Manufactured by USPCC
