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.

Playing Cards from the FUTURE! This deck has arrived from the year 3020 and are ready to ship NOW! ...OUR STORY CONTINUES: In the year 3000, artificial intelligence takes over the human race. A rogue rebellion warrior escapes from A.I enslavement and travels to a run down time traveling facility in hopes of saving the species. The NOC Corporation, a self built A.I. establishment controlled everything until our protagonist successfully sent back the NOC3000X1 deck back in time to the year 2019 with the simple message - keep the magic alive. The plan worked - humans not only received the message of the threat but discovered advanced technologies within the fibers of the playing cards sent back in time - technologies that would ultimately lead to the now thriving world - the (new) year 3020, safe from threats of A.I. The playing cards were reborn into what we now know them as - NOC30000X2 The more we depend on technology, the less magical the world seems until one day all the magic will be gone. The deck is now in your hands. #NOC3000X2

In 2011, we released the original Monarchs. They quickly became our best-selling deck, and they ushered in a new standard for luxury playing cards. Soon after, we dressed them in red. Monarchs are back in a new print edition, with a much more vivid, vibrant red box.

Red Monarchs are Made in the USA on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests. Printed on Q1 quality stock with our signature Premium 909 Finish.

We spent time refining the world’s finest deck. It turned out better than we could ever imagine. We treated the back design with a vibrant, dramatic shade of red. For the tuck case, we worked alongside our print team to take an existing soft-touch paper and then darkened the tone while maintaining the vibrance of the red color.

The goal was to make playing cards fit for a king. The world’s finest. Regal. We feel one step closer to accomplishing that mission than ever before. We know you’re going to love them. In stock and available for immediate shipping.

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
