Citizens are the most intricate, breathtaking playing cards we’ve ever produced. Illustrated in America by Kevin Cantrell, every aspect was handcrafted with relentless, unrivaled attention to detail. 

For the first time, we combined gold foil, hot stamping, and bronze foil to create a box design that’s eye catching, elegant, and sophisticated.

Even the inside of the box has a breathtaking, intricate guilloche pattern. The Joker and back design bear the Latin phrase “Audentes Fortuna Iuvat.” Fortune favors the brave. The Ace of Spades features an iconic Citizen “C” emblem.

It's been called the birthplace of America. Dating back to 1682, Philadelphia is a city with a history and culture unlike any other. Provision Playing Cards are a monument to the city's historic past and a tribute to its present. Illustrated by hand in Philadelphia, Provisions are 100% Made in America. Every aspect of the design was created from scratch - from the court cards to the aces, packaging, and vintage tax stamp seal. Even the inside of the box shines with gold foil. Provisions are VIBRANT - with a fiery shade of ember red on the back design that demands your attention. For the first time ever, theory11 used an ivory-tone, off-white playing card stock, which creates a vintage look and timeless, unique aesthetic. It's subtle - but the feel and finish is absolutely flawless. Produced by theory11. Designed by True Hand Society. Made in America at The United States Playing Card Company.

The machines were blazing. A cloud of steam filled the air. And then - as if by magic - one product emerged from the assembly line: Hudson Playing Cards.

Forged on the bank of the Hudson River in New York, Hudson Playing Cards were inspired by a historic factory dating back to 1856. It was the pinnacle of playing card quality.

With unrivaled quality, snap, feel, and finish, Hudson Playing Cards were the gold standard for poker players and family games alike. Thousands of decks once crossed this mythical assembly line - and then, as quickly as it emerged, it vanished in 1871 with the rise of the New York Consolidated Card Company.

A legend lost to history - until today. theory11 proudly reimagines Hudson Playing Cards, with an all-new deck designed and manufactured in the USA with relentless attention to detail.

The design is breathtaking, intricate, detailed, and timeless - with a custom Ace of Spades, Joker, back design, and tuck case packaging.

Concept of the Sumi Playing Cards

A homage to Irezumi, the traditional Japanese tattoo art form, the Sumi Playing Cards faithfully emulates the iconic elements of ukiyo-e, fantastical mythological creatures, and Heroes of the Marsh to forge a visual playing card masterpiece like no other. A masterpiece bursting with symbolic significance at every twirl of the cards.

Inspired by the Greek river Styx and the Styx Dead Head Hawk Moth, comes the Bicycle Styx Playing Cards. Conceived by Eric Ross, and custom designed by Nick Vlow --they have captured the tenuous balance between this world and the underworld. Beautiful in its symbolism, because the designs on the thorax of the moth look curiously like skulls. These moths have been used by artists and filmmakers such as "Silence of the Lambs" to symbolize the patterns of the dead, and the idea of rebirth and transformation that the killer is trying to go through to become a beautiful creature. Let your magic transform in the same way by using these cards. The moth is also known as going blindly towards the light...some would interpret this as having unshakable faith and determination--the kind you need to be a great magician. Capture this spirit. This deck is truly a beautiful dazzling example of symbolism and art, brought to you with the utmost care and quality. Concept and Production from visionary magician, Eric Ross Illustrated by the great Nick Vlow Manufactured by USPCC
