Daniel Madison and Chris Ramsay have teamed up to bring you one of the most elegant and high quality decks to ever come out of the USPCC. A crushed stock, coupled with a smooth finish and traditional cut, make this deck feel as good as it looks. The Knight: It's the most devastating and unpredictable piece on the board. Unlike the Bishop, Rook or even the Queen, the Knight isn't bound by what surrounds it. It is the only piece capable of escaping its opponents by leaping over them. "I Believe Every Chess Player Senses Beauty..." -GM Vladimir Kramnik. A few surprises lie within the simplistic and classic mate white and gold foil tuck. These hidden features embody the aesthetics and practicality which appeal to magicians, gamblers and chess players alike. Metallic Gold ink coupled with original art work from the insanely creative mind of Oban Jones brings this iconic piece of design to life before your very eyes. YOUR MOVE

Follow up to the original in blue.

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. 

THE ICONIC DECK. BACK IN BLACK

For almost a century, 'The Expert At The Card Table' has been considered indispensable to attaining the highest level of card mastery. Recognised as the go-to text on deception with a deck of cards. The search for the elusive author has led us to 12 men who could carry the burden of the world's greatest cheater. One mystery gave birth to a myriad of authors, fans and obsessives. We aren't sure which we are. It's speculated that it's simply an anagram of E. S. Andrews. Others say that it was Herbert Lee Andrews creating an anagram from his wife Emma's name. Some say it was a Chicago Railroad worker, and others choose to believe it was printer Harry S. Thompson covering his tracks. The truth we choose to believe is that S. W. Erdnase is a lifestyle, for those who want to keep their addiction hidden. To not let the world know how devious they are. This all started as a fitting tribute to magic's most famous stranger, and a friend to us all.  

THE CARDS Featured on the back is a deep black replica of Erdnase's green book, and the box is laced with vibrant gold-foil. Distracting other players at the table while you stack the deck in your favor. The finish is customised, smooth and time-honored. With production humidity, ink weight and storage researched with as much care and attention as the card table artifice from the book. Anyone with a deck of cards and passion can be Erdnase, Erdnase is an idea... and we'll never truly prove who he was.

Killer Bees are the mutant hybrid of timid European honey bees and their African cousins.  Like all superhero stories, the Killers were introduced to Brazil by mad scientists to help re-populate their diminishing Bee population.  But no-one could contain them... In 1957, 26 swarms escaped quarantine and declared war on the western hemisphere.  Danger lurking in the skies, these villains will stalk their victims for up to 1/2 a mile..  We wanted to capture the darker bodies of these cold-face killers in our deck. Creating a harsh black back with toxic-waste yellow honeycomb spilt on the back.  The black faces display custom pips and hold a sinister simplicity. Like something you'd expect to see on a discarded barrel of methylamine.  Killer Bees are the result of an unsanctioned lab experiment when toxic-waste spilled into a delicate hive of Honey Bees.

Ellusionist information: In 2012, Peter McKinnon and Daniel Madison collaborated on a video project in the dry lake-beds of Las Vegas, not quite realising at that time such a simple meeting of two creative minds would lead them to The KINGS deck. Whenever Peter and Daniel work together, waves are made and a unique creative vessel is opened. The Kings deck is the ultimate representation of their joint creative forces. Peter and Daniel spent a lot of time brainstorming, designing and creating their ideal deck of cards… Cards that would be fit for Kings. Peter and Daniel were meticulous and scrupulous with their requirements for the deck. They tested numerous stocks and finishes until they found and created a unique Kings finish and stock. The cards were traditionally cut to further advance gambling techniques, they are sturdy yet flexible enough for cardistry and sleight-of-hand. They wanted a box that would look like a block of gold - direct from the Kings share - with a deck of cards perfectly designed to cater for both minimalistic beauty and a stunning design, but it didn’t stop there… Peter and Daniel decided to make the Kings deck a secret weapon right out of the box… Readily stacked in Mnemonic AND fully marked so that not only would the performer be able to identify every singe card in the deck by the back alone, but also have the ability perform instant Mnemonic miracles. They added a double-backer and two unique and personalised jokers, and on top of that, they lost the ad-card and replaced it with an Angle Z Gaff card. Two years in the making, Peter and Daniel returned to Las Vegas to celebrate their creation and film a heist that would represent their collaborative brilliance.

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

Hellions v1 SOLD OUT almost instantly. BUT... we knew this would happen. In the works was a second print run, an identical tuck, back design and ace of spades. The only difference was the court cards, paying homage to the 'Hellions' who helped bring this deck to life. If you missed out on owning Hellions V1, or you want to increase your collection, this is your chance. Notes: new gaff card and some changes to the court cards (featuring David Blaine as the King of Spades) Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/89-madison_hellions
