This vintage casino style deck was designed with simplicity in mind. From our classic court cards to the nostalgic back design, Cohorts were engineered to look unassuming on the card table or in the hands of a master card mechanic.

Each deck comes with 52 cards, 2 jokers, 1 alternate color double-backer and a duplicate Queen of spades (for obvious magical reasons).

Hidden within the lines of the intricate back design are markings undetectable to the untrained eye. Easily readable for any magician, card mechanic or mentalist out there.

Printed on our brand new luxury pressed E7 stock in a vibrant blue, this is the crushed stock deck you’ve been waiting for. We worked hand-in-hand with Cartamundi to find an answer to ‘Bicycle Crushed' and boy did we deliver!

As an Ellusionist exclusive this is the only place you can get the thinner-stock cards produced with a durable Cartamundi finish.(We have a 6 month exclusive)

People often comment on Cartamundi's stock... "Their stock would be perfect if it was just a bit thinner" ... NOW IT IS.

This is one deck that you need to feel to believe.

There are two variations of this deck with different barcode number (check images)

In the early 1500s Leonardo Da Vinci illustrated "La Divina" (The Divine Proportion) a book written by mathematician Luca Pacioli that described a mathematical theory called "The Golden Ratio" which was used in Renaissance paintings and sculptures to achieve balance and beauty. Da Vinci later called this Section Aurea or the Golden Section. The gold foil and swirl designs on the tuck bring the Golden ratio to life in this unique deck of cards. Aureo deck features unique designs inspired by the art of the Renaissance and the Golden Ratio.

THE ORIGINALS ARE BACK! Designed to be timeless and elegant, the original Whispering Imps® were instantly welcomed by magicians around the world when first introduced in 2013. Since then, they have made their way into the hands of thousands of magicians, card players, cardists and even network television shows & Hollywood films! The Workers are the latest edition to the Whispering Imps® family. The Workers are a reprint of the Originals with a few updates, enhancements and additions at nearly half the price making them more affordable to the working professional. Similar to the Originals, the Workers include a miniature version of the Harry Kellar poster that inspired this deck, along with its story. The jokers have been simplified and the artwork enlarged to fit more of the card. In addition to the original Ace of Spades being simplified and slightly enlarged, a modified version of the Gamesters Ace of Spades has also been included as an alternative giving the performer two style choices. The jet black tuck box features the Whispering Imps® logo in a shiny silver metallic ink along with the iconic red imp whispering on the bottom right.

Ad copy: "Rockets are a taste of nostalgia. A deck of cards born from a world of pure imagination. Styled from the famous frozen treat, Rockets look just as tasty in your hand. The back design is simple, imperfect and fun. Adding boldness back into your card handling." Notes: The deck comes with two identical jokers, a double backer and an additional 9 of spades.

The New Deck Order's new line of playing cards is finally here. Broken Borders Playing Cards is a fresh new take on standard playing cards for cardistry. Featuring design elements that overlap the borders of the cards, these sexy cards are dramatic and bold. The diagonal stripes make the card look outstanding in cuts and spins. Your moves will look loud and hypnotizing. We've taken what we've learned from designing the School of Cardistry V3 deck and went a step further. The face elements have been redesigned to be thicker and more eye-catching. The stripes grab your audience's attention right from the get-go. All these, tied together with a yellow and black danger print motif. This motif stretches from the cards, to the tuck case, to the seal, and into the world around you.

The Design

The Retro Deck was originally inspired by vintage matchbox art from the 1950s. We used that inspiration to explore our mid-century modern roots a bit further and created a deck of cards that is crisp, modern, and classic. The popularity of the mid-century modern era lies in its ability to find timeless elegance in the expression of form through function and we strove to meet those standards in this deck.  The design, by Joe Morelli and Pocono Modern, is made of original art and graphic elements that come together to create a bold and striking set of playing cards.

The Relaunch

There’s a great quote that says “You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.” Since we started Pocono Modern in 2007, we’ve experienced a handful of failures – and we aren’t too proud to admit it. But we still keep trying. So we're back here again to try this deck one more time.

Initially we failed to raise enough money to produce The Retro Deck as we dreamed it: a multi-deck set of complimentary playing cards.  Some of you may remember that there were two different decks in the initial project: one with a colored background and one in white. We had many incredible supporters in our campaign (you know who you are), but we just couldn't seem to get this project over the finish line.  Rather than letting that stop us, we were able to scrape together enough money to produce one of the two decks we campaigned for (check out the finished product here!) To date we have sold enough of them to cover our debt but not enough to produce the second deck. If we can raise enough to produce this second deck in white we will be able to realize the full set as originally intended.  

The world of playing cards has seen many incredible designs in recent years.  But we have yet to come across one as reminiscent of American mid-century modern design as this. We may not have Exploding Kittens, but we think the design speaks for itself. It's also worth noting, design aside, that these cards are incredibly easy to play with, which is a huge factor for us.  And to keep it fun we’ve added a few extra perks to the deck, such as foil box seals and custom drink cards. These cards will give you a reason to jazz up your bar cart and invite a few friends over for game night, which is what we’re all about: creating beautiful products and even better experiences.

Welcome back guys! Chris here. Welcome to the seventh edition. Orbits are going 80's. For this edition, the crew and I sat down and reviewed a lot of 80's art to come to this final design. We missed clean borders and wanted something more minimal than the V6 but still with the element of intricacy within some part of it. The V7 features a pink dominant center along with the mountain range from the V5 Orbits that are now inverted, so they are a window to what's behind the card rather than the original mountains. Upon close inspection, constellations can be seen in the star belt.The rainbow at the bottom of the box inside the Orbit logo is a direct tribute to the lives lost in the 1986 space shuttle Challenger on their mission STS-51-L. The last names of the crew can be found on the inside of the V7 tuck because those who gave their lives for space exploration should never be forgotten. NASA halted missions for 2 years after the tragedy but when they came back, the mission patches had a rainbow in the center to signify life along with 7 orange stars to remember the 7 lives lost. Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Michael Smith, and Dick Scobee. The rainbow was saying that NASA is back and alive but will carry the life of their fallen astronauts. It is a beautiful tribute to the lives lost in 1986. We're doing our part to ensure their legacy lives on. Pips and indices. I knew I wanted a retro design that people would have been using in the 80's. I asked USPC if they had the retro Arrco pip package. Their archives didn't go back that far. Luckily, I have a retro Arrco deck in my private collection from the 70's that Nick Stumphauzer gave to me as a gift -- it was found in his grandparent's attic. Holly scanned over the cards, we sent them to Daniel, and he did the rest. If you look closely at the pips and indices, you'll see that they are a bit thinner than previous Orbit pip packages (that are also Arrco) and look a little wavy. This was not an accident. I wanted to capture the essence of a 70's deck that would have been used in the 80's, imperfections and all. You won't find another deck in this millennia with this retro pip package. The red has been replaced with pink on the V7's for an extra eye-catching aesthetic. New Court faces. We have added 3 new faces. The Queen of Clubs is my childhood best friend's mom, Nancy. I've known her since I was 11 and she is like a second mom to me. The King of Clubs is her husband, Matt (Big Matt). They have been there for me during some pretty important moments in my life and have guided me through some tough times. They deserve to be here in the deck. The final card is the King of Spades, none other than my mentor in magic, John Bodine. John has kept me headed in the right direction in my magic career, is a life mentor to me, and even invested in the my website to get it up on its own two feet back in 2012. Not sure I'd be where I am today without him in my corner.

Les Méliès: Conquest Blue pays homage to renowned French filmmaker and magician, George Méliès. Inspired by his classic film, A Trip to The Moon, Conquests Blue continues the Les Méliès playing card line that, producer, Derek Mckee first realized in 2013; this edition’s color, royal blue, is simply gorgeous and utterly vibrant. Les Méliès has received continual praise and been deemed a modern classic. Proven to hold court with Tally Ho, Bee, and Bicycle, Les Méliès are, ultimately, a worthy addition to, an albeit, short list of timeless playing card designs. Printed by The United States Company, on crushed stock and Bee finish for optimal handling, this is a limited edition run of 4,000 decks. Designed and produced by Derek Mckee, with improvements made by Michael Blau, the deck features a custom back design, ace of spades and two jokers.
