Featuring the incredible, unique, Optical Marking system, the new DMC ELITES: ROUGE Marked Deck is the fifth signature deck produced by Sovereign Playing Cards for elite British magician Drummond Money-Coutts. Each deck has been a collaboration between DMC (star of TV special Card Shark and 2015's Nat Geo series DMC Beyond Magic) and designer Phill Smith, combining their perfectionism and creativity to create a unique series of incredible decks. With a brace of serious improvements and upgrades on previous versions, the DMC ELITES: ROUGE Marked Deck is, quite simply, the best deck Sovereign has ever produced.

The deck features the fourth generation of the unique Optical Marking system, a powerful marking system designed specifically for the use of close-up and cabaret performers (as opposed to the gambling origin of many systems). The deck has an ingeniously hidden marking mechanic that is readable at great range, in poor light and with extreme speed. The system has been significantly refined over the last few years of development since it was first created. Each deck also now comes with a pictorial instruction card that explains the markings visually, without words.

The system hides the value and suit of the playing card in plain sight, with no decoding necessary, no mental working-out to do - it literally just says the value and the suit, clearly and visibly, with a huge visible range on it. All this incredible clarity and you can still comfortably hand the deck to a layman safe in the knowledge that even if they search for marks, they will still not find them. The DMC ELITES: ROUGE is the only deck on the market now with this unique system.

The deck has standard faces, and the finish is a completely new cardistry-grade stock and finish. Everything about the deck has been crafted to make it super useable, from the sturdy minimalist box, down to the deep red back color, to the card reveal hidden on the two custom Jokers. The DMC ELITES: ROUGE - the greatest marked deck in a generation and possibly the most useable deck for card magic available today.

These cards have been created with professional magic and mentalism performers in mind, but they could be put to work to gain an illicit advantage at the card table. If you want to crush your friends at snap, that's fine, have fun, but cheating at games where there is a gambled stake is unethical, immoral, and illegal. If you are caught, then you may be subject to prosecution by the law or violent reprisal from your marks. The technical skills required to cheat at the card table are fascinating to study, but Sovereign Playing Cards cannot be held responsible for any cheating that may be conducted using their equipment.

Conjuring Arts is incredibly pleased to offer the fifth version of the Erdnase 1902 brand cards. The Smith No. 2 Blue design is exceptional. This white and blue deck is a unique hybrid design that can be used for gambling routines and sleights, as well as effects that require or benefit from white borders. These commemorative decks, designed by Guy Hollingworth (with additional face artwork by Dan White), are printed on exclusive Bee Casino paper and are made with a special coating to ensure the best handling. They’ve been cut the same way as Richard Turner has his cut so they faro and shuffle extremely well. These are actually our best handling cards to date. If you loved the last decks, the Smith No. 2 Blue will blow you away. This Smith No. 2 Blue Deck is named Smith in honor of Marshall D. Smith the illustrator of The Expert at the Card Table. The overall Bee-like pattern is actually made up of tiny reproductions of the hands in the illustrations of the great card classic (click on the image to the left). Where before the background was colored in black, and then in red, for our original Smith cards, the Smith No. 2 design has a white back with blue illustrations of the hands. The color reversal is dramatic, and the cards are just as great to work with as the earlier decks, cambric or ivory finish. You must send an e-mail to us with your order if you would like Ivory decks, otherwise we will send your order in cambric. This is our first deck in one of the traditional blue colors, presented to you in a dynamic, exciting design. These decks also use the original faces used by U.S. Playing Card Co. in 1902. These great faces have somewhat larger pips and somewhat smaller indices which combine to create an unusually attractive face. The head playing card researcher of US Playing Card Co. supervised all aspects of production of these cards, including overseeing production of printing the backs, embossing, crushing and the final cutting and casing at the U.S. Playing Card Co. factory. We truly believe that we’ve made the finest cards that US Playing Card can produce at the present time. The cards were printed in a very limited quantity and there is no guarantee that they will be re-printed. If you need some of these to perform with, practice with, or add to your collection, this is the time to get them.

We are proud to introduce the Black Lions Blue Edition, printed on the highest-quality stock the United States Playing Card Company offers.

Our soft-touch box features a metallic blue finish and silver foil stamping on top of a fuly detailed quality embossing.  Each deck contains a number of hidden features that are greatly enhanced by the new design.

Kings Wild Emerald Talley-ho Display Deck

Tally Ho is a brand that is more than 100 years old and it is my privilege to create my third Tally Ho deck. The Emerald Tally Ho deck is the second deck in my my limited edition Tally Ho series. The first deck, the Scarlett Tally Ho, was inspired by my youngest daughter who is also named Scarlett. The Emerald Tally Ho deck is inspired by my oldest daughter Claire. The Emerald theme comes from Claire's birthstone. Starting with the same basic design structure, as the Scarlett Tally Hos, the Emerald has a completely redesigned back and tuck. The same limited edition courts have been used with new design and color styles to match the new Emerald theme.

The Black Diamond Tally Ho is the third deck in the Kings Wild Luxury Tally Ho series. The Black Diamonds utilizes The United States Playing Card Companies new foiling process, MetalLuxe to be one of the first custom decks to use the new technology. This will also be the first time Kings Wild has produced an all black court set.

These decks are both very expensive to produce and also very limited in their production number.
