Info from Series Two: The Grid playing cards are a three part collection based on the design principals of the International Typographic Style, otherwise known as the ‘Swiss Style’ of graphic design. Series Two has been reworked from its original launch because I wanted to refine the design and bring the whole deck closer to the original concept set out by Series One. I feel now, the whole deck has a cleaner more precise and elegant look, one that is important to have in every collection. Originally starting in the 1920s in Germany, the Netherlands and Russia, the ‘Swiss Style’ later developed in Switzerland in the 1950s. It’s main principals are readability and cleanliness, with most creations adopting an asymmetric layout, always based on the use of a grid. These grids, usually made up of hidden columns and rows, are used to align words, numbers, pictures and patterns and so each series in the Grid collection adopts these principals. The works of designers such as Ernst Keller and Josef-Müller Brockmann have been a real inspiration from a graphic point of view. The cards are poker size and printed by USPCC but are far from traditional. These cards will be printed on linen, magic air cushion stock which I know first hand really does feel like nothing else with fully customised tuck box and seal. As a graphic designer more than an illustrator, as well as a card collector, I wanted to find a way to combine two of my biggest passions and make a collection of decks which truly stand out from the crowd. I fully appreciate the incredible work of designers of other playing cards currently in the world, I am often drawn to the cards with incredible detail and illustration. After all, I am a Kickstarter backer as well as a creator. Personally, I see the detail of my decks as ‘less is more’, doing away with traditional pips and instead adopting a typographic format, with each card acting like a miniature poster, with bold words setting the theme rather than illustration and numbers. I have tried to keep the design minimal but functional, even the back of the card is super stripped back to just the name of the deck, with full colour bleed for real impact of colour. If, for example, you look at my version of the picture cards, they each have a diagonal line introduced as a minimal graphic, like a poster, but it replicates the diagonal line often found on traditional picture cards where the suit is duplicated and rotated. It’s a small detail but it’s my way of reflecting tradition. With Grid Series Two, as well as vertical and horizontal alignment like in Grid Series One, I have introduced the circle to create a dial effect and explore how different grids can be adopted on playing cards. Each card has a bespoke set of alignment with the numbers and letters that sit on the edge of the circle so that they visually look to have the same alignment, whilst not always sitting in exactly the same place on each card.

Bicycle Garden is back, after three years' wait.

Elegant and beautiful design from the China’s mind magician xiaowo chang.

The garden deck is the most popular in China, which is designed with the flavour of the noble JQK and imprisoned Joker.

 

The greatest difference between Bicycle TRUTH Garden Black deck and Cage Garden black deck is that the second edition adds a white edge, which is more conducive to performing magic, as well as two soul magic Geff Cards. Compared with cage garden deck, the v2 Truth garden is quality better.

 

About Gaff card - many magicians, such as Derren Brown, James Brown, Patrick Redford, Banachek, etc. have performed a similar disappearance memory effect like RGM, but I still appreciate the version by Luke Jermay. The friends who purchase gardens V2 will get this Gaff Card. This process appears in Luke 's Skullduggery and 7 Deceptions, and you will find that the card is helpful to your performance.

 

More secrets waiting for your discovery.

Custom designed luxury playing cards. A special limited edition deck for the discerning player, collector, magician or cardist.

Uncut of the Gold Certificate Edition playing cards. An uncut sheet is the actual playing cards, only before they have been cut and placed into the tuck cases.

Heretic Playing Cards by Lorenzo Gaggiotti (Stockholm17) is based on alchemy and the hermetic world. Salt (for the Jacks), Sulfur (for the Queens) and Mercury (for the Kings) are the three basic ingredients of the alchemist. This PCDB entry is for the uncut Noctis Joker sheet which was a surprise gift to all uncut backers as the printing of these uncuts was also unexpected per the artist. It simply contains repeating cards for the additional 3 cards included in the Noctis deck (3rd Joker, double backed Lux/Noctis and the color change gaff card). While there technically was a Lux Joker set, none were left as uncut and instead distributed with the related deck. There also are Lux and Noctis versions and related standard decks of each. In addition, there was a VERY limited subset of both Lux and Noctis that were signed and wax sealed called Heretic Gran Riserva. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/requiemcards/heretic-playing-cards

Contains only 55 copies of Ace of Spades and a History of the Secret Weapon card. History from USPCC - The Ace of Spades served a famous purpose in the war in Vietnam. In 1966, two lieutenants wrote The United States Playing Card Company and requested decks containing nothing but the Ace of Spades. The cards were useful in psychological warfare as the Viet Cong were very superstitious and highly frightened by this Ace. The French previously had occupied Indo-China, and in French fortunetelling with cards, the Spades predicted death and suffering. The Viet Cong even regarded lady liberty as a goddess of death. USPC shipped thousands of the requested decks gratis to our troops in Vietnam. These decks were housed in plain white tuckcases, inscribed with Bicycle Secret Weapon. The cards were deliberately scattered in the jungle and in hostile villages during raids. The very sight of the Ace card was said to cause many Viet Cong to flee.
