The 6th installment of the Orbit Deck is finally here. This deck is a result of a team effort by the entire Orbit Crew, and it's our most ambitious design to date. We took the best parts of the V4/V5 and combined them to make the V6. Our shared love of space, aliens, and trees made this design a beautiful harmony of things we love. The new Orbits will have the same crushed premium stock, same matte box, and same traditional cut as the V5s. Here's what we have updated: New alien Jokers who have abducted Carl and are now riding his bike! New one-way back design that will be a puzzle to solve We feel that the traditionally cut, crushed premium stock, made on the web press, creates the best feeling deck, ever. There are only around five decks out there that have this exact recipe -- two of them are Orbits. If you've felt the V4s and V5s, then you probably know what we're talking about. Since we have the feel finely tuned, we are spending a lot more of our time on design now. The entire Orbit Crew sat down and spoke about design theory along with what makes playing cards look good up close and from afar. We made more renditions of this edition than all previous back designs combined. We believe we have a formula for what makes a deck aesthetically pleasing. After months of brainstorming, we came to this final design. We couldn't be happier and it's our favorite deck to date. One of our rules is, we don't create a new Orbit Deck unless it's going to be our new favorite. If you're counting V1-V5, we have sold out of approximately 60 thousand Orbit Decks in total since the release of the V1s back in 2015. They are found in every country across the planet and the demand is only getting higher.

The first edition was funded on Kickstarter in March of 2015. This was my very first Kickstarter campaign ever. Although I planned out the process very strategically, experience would still prove to be the best teacher. It is now 2016 and its time for the Second Edition. The Blue Orbits have a very deep blue, almost like Lake Tahoe blue. I love how they felt and how they looked. The Blue Orbits have thick borders which I have always loved because I love the retro feel. I received many messages about the deck, some loved the borders, other's preferred slimmer.  Which brings us to... The Orbit Deck: Second Edition. With every Yin there must be a Yang. Heads and tails. North/South. Hot/Cold. This whole time, the Blue Orbits have been missing it's brother. The Blood Red Orbits feel bold and deliver a mysterious vibe all while looking sharp and iconic like it's older sibling. A few things have changed, a few things have remained the same. I have never liked the idea of simply changing the color and nothing else. I think small things should be updated as the Orbit line gets older. After the Reds I will start making bigger changes to the back design. Which means these will probably be the last Orbits to look like this. The future will bring updated colors and updated back designs while keeping the same essence as the original Blue and Red Orbits. 

From Ellusionist: "- Crisp, sharp - Buttery smooth finish - Understated LTD is simplicity."

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.
