The six of hearts. You don't need to see it. All you need to do is mention its name and it's called into existence by your imagination, fully formed in your mind. It's a strange but brilliant phenomenon. You don't need to be shown images of famous pop culture moments/landmarks, because you already know them. The Statue of Liberty Hendrix at Woodstock Houdini in Chains In the same way, playing cards exist beyond a physical form, iconic shapes lodged within our collective memory. "This back design is your favorite back design, because it's every design and no design...all at the same time." The Ace of Spades you conjure up and the courts you know best, yet iconic and recognisable to everyone. There's desperation in distraction. This deck has none. Opening this deck, destroys this deck. The tear-strip tuck case authenticates perfection. Once opened, it can be never fully closed. A commodity to users, a necessity for collectors.

The intriguing Pitch Black Playing Cards was designed by Jirs Huygen and unveiled in Cartamundi's 2015 catalog as part of the lifestyle-branded decks aimed at the teenage and young adult market. Pitch Black goes for a minimalist approach, one that combines abstract line art on a deep black background with thin lines and geometrical shapes in either metallic white and red. The deck is fully custom, from the card backs to the Aces, pips, to the bold courts and jokers.

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.

FOILED FROST MINT

The Foil Frost Mint deck features iconic Mint pattern Foil Stamped in Cobalt Blue with the United States Playing Card Company's proprietary Metal Luxe technology. Proudly crowdfunded on Kickstarter. This deck was presented as a part of the MINT 2 Kickstarter project in 2018. Over 5,600 incredible backers came together to raise a historic $564,558 in funding to make this deck a reality. This deck was an Ultra-Limited Kickstarter Exclusive that was only available during the 30-day Kickstarter campaign in July, 2018. Only 3,144 decks were made.

This deck was funded through a Kickstarter campaign https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/musketon/graveyard-a-super-creepy-and-detailed-deck-of-card . The premium edition has an embossed tuck box and the card backs have foil. My scan doesn't show the foil well but it really looks great in person.

The design is based on the rare theme of divination and constellation on the whole market,with elegance and mystery. The first playing cards combining ESP and Constellation elements into the back design. In addition, the corresponding ESP and Constellation pattern can be read by the markings on the back. The deck contains lots of super magical functions（including the marking system, prediction, 4 themes of psychological force , etc）. Also including 4 hidden bonuses that are for you to explore. Produced by TWPCC, using the Latest Ink and German Black Core Paper, neat trimming and excellent handling. Each card is designed separately, with a limited edition of 1000 in Green and 3000 in Red

About The Design: The whole deck is based on geometrical crystal design. In order to match with its rich functionality, divination, constellation, etc. is chosen to be the theme of the deck, which is mysterious and elegant.

Tuck Box: Side-loading tuck and is made up of beautiful geometrical blocks and a green nebula, with a futuristic circuit board. The side has the name of the deck "Elemental Master", and the overall design creates a sense of mystery.

Card Back: The nebula pattern superimposes the white lines, reinforcing the magical attributes of the entire deck. The back of the card includes six symbols and twelve constellations that can be used for prediction. The subtle differences in the back of each card allow the user to read the suits and value of the card.

Card Face: 100% custom face, including multiple elements that is perfect for your magic routines. Although different, they are unified in a creative style, which makes the face of the cards look elegant. The court cards are also different from the traditional court cards, and has been redesigned in conjunction with the theme of constellations and ESP. Twelve court cards match the twelve constellations as well as the ESP symbols. An additional ad card with the name and date of the twelve constellations is also included. It is worth mentioning that many patterns can also form a complete movie, making your magic more beautiful and meaningful and valuable to add into your repertoire.

The Blue Crown information: In 2010 stories and artwork were discovered in a book from the early 1700’s that appear to provide evidence about a secret society of magicians. Formed to protect magicians during the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600’s, the Order of the Owl was founded in the Northeastern US. We have painstakingly restored and recreated the artwork we found in order to put this deck into the hands of modern magicians and keep the memory of this society alive. Some believe that the order still exists, though we cannot be sure. Secrets are everywhere. We have printed 5,000 of these amazing decks on top-quality stock and finish. The tuck box has metallic ink, a custom seal, and other surprises. We have also created a limited run of 2,500 white Altruism decks, which we have dubbed Snow Owls. The Snow Owls have been released in limited numbers - keep an eye out for future contests and promotions! -Detailed Artwork by Hydro74 -High-Quality Stock and Finish -Secrets are Everywhere Due to a printing error made at US Playing Card, 1st edition Altruism decks have a duplicate Queen of Hearts. You will receive the Queen of Diamonds for any decks ordered in a protective envelope alongside your decks.

These limited edition cards won't be around for long.

Van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. Most of his artworks were created in the last two years of his life. He created many artworks with the full of passion for life, showing his depression, grief, sympathy and hope deep in his heart. The back of card adopts his most famous artwork "The Starry Night". This artwork is a testament to how its beauty is timeless and universal. It is also the perfect deck for cardists who love to do the fan. On the tuck case, Van Gogh's portrait demonstrates the theme of this deck. The Court cards are very different from one another - each shows an artwork from his portraits. On the Jokers, his self-portrait was adopted. This deck pays tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, our wonderful painter! Featuring 56 custom playing cards printed by Cartamundi with legendary B9 True Linen Finish.

Three years in the making...Our biggest original release EVER. Okay... BE COOL, because this is the biggest moment we've ever had in Scam Stuff history. (And I need at least one of us to remain calm, because I am personally freaking-the-hell-out.) Since the day we launched Scam Stuff, people have been HOWLING for us to develop an original deck of cards... And today, I couldn't be prouder to announce our original ARCANA decks: ALPHA and OMEGA. Oh, man, it's been an adventure creating these things. We worked with top quality artists to create something classy, mysterious and haunting...something that feels like an artifact stolen from a secret society... a relic from another world. This deck oozes character and backstory. It feels somehow... alive in your hands. Every time I look at it, I discover new hints about its world. We worked directly with our friends at Theory11 and the US Playing Card company when designing ARCANA, so you know you're getting a no-holds-barred, top-of-the-line quality deck of premium playing cards. These cards are exquisite, and you're going to love them.

Not to be confused with the Arcana Tarot decks, these were made for Scam Stuff in collaboration with Theory11 & USPCC.

Technically sold as just a 2-piece box, when combined with cards from the Arcana Dark deck and the dark cards from the Arcana expansion deck (contains both light and dark versions of the Major Arcana tarot cards), this creates a full tarot set that is then stored together as a new complete tarot deck with this sturdy 2-piece box.

Available as a direct pre-order and then via direct sale from Thirdway Industries, this deck also won the 2014 Discourse Design Deck Contest. Designed by Giovanni Meroni through his Thirdway Industries, this deck features a fun evil cartoonish theme with unique characters on every card. The suits have sub-themes: Clubs are Nature, Hearts are Passion, Diamonds are Violence and Spades are Magic. The deck was originally part of the failed Card Launcher, an alternate crowd funding website specific to playing cards, and a corresponding alternate 'Good Deck' was also developed at that time, but was not made for sale at the same time after that initial attempted project which was dropped when the platform failed.  The deck was printed by Expert Playing Card Co. using their Master Finish.  The tuck box is matte finish with supergloss finish on white accents, embossed and inner printed with a custom seal.  It was available in standard deck and uncut formats.
