General Admission was the Kings Wild Shorts Subscription deck for May, 2020. The design inspiration for this unique deck came from Jackson's draw towards vintage ticket stubs from the early 20th century. Printed by EPCC, the semi-gloss tuck case resembles the layout of a ticket stub, including the gate number, section, row, and seat, which hide an Easter Egg for those who follow Jackson's design themes closely. The complex back design plays along the same lines, adding design elements resembling some of Kings Wild's currency decks, along with the iconic logo.

As you open the deck, you'll find the familiar Kings Wild motto, "Work with your hands. Mind your own business."

Inside, the cards take this deck to the next level of vintage nostalgia, with heavy amounts of texture, a wide range of vibrant and visually interesting patterns, and bold design elements. The court cards feature mirrored, full-body characters - a first for designer, Jackson Robinson.

The Gilded Edition features a turf green, patterned gilding around the edges of the cards.

This series celebrates the beauty of Moroccan architecture and the origins around it. Because they were unable to create art with the human figure (sculptures and paintings), they celebrated their art by embracing complex and intricate geometry. These patterns were a way of expressing themselves and is what built the culture into what it is today. Throughout the following decks you’ll see multiple examples of different types of plaster and zellij pattern work, including a custom-made discovery pattern for the faces and courts. The Blue Gate "Goats in Trees" was never sold publicly but was a limited edition only available to members who attended the 2019 52 Plus Joker Convention in Charlotte, limited to only 99 available. The goats in trees represented the real deal argon oil. It was an inside joke the Moroccan locals had against tourists. The deck was made as a tribute to that joke by Alex and presented at the convention's new deck presentation panel.

When Thirdway Industries produces a limited deck there is usually some overproduction (2-300 extra decks usually) that are wrapped without the seal. These are occasionally sold as part of bundles, on special occasions like Black Friday, or upon request for a reduced price.

Three new custom decks of the Omnia Series by Thirdway Industries, designed by Giovanni Meroni and proudly printed by Expert Playing Cards Co. with Classic Finish. 

Based on the ancestors of the first Omnia, these decks will throw you in the Golden Age of the Omnia universe, full of treasures, heroes and war. The legendary, remote past of the Omnia Universe, full of God and Heroes. When everything started. 

• EPCC Dark brown and gold Stardust Paper tuck box  
• Double foil on tuck box, Red and Gold
• Dark background on faces 
• 2 metallic inks on faces, bronze and gold
• Limited Edition ( < 1000 decks printed )
• Custom numbered seal Magnifica is printed mainly for Kickstarter backers. There are 875 decks available on Kickstarter, and I will use the others for personal use and replacements. If some decks are unsold, I'll put them for sale on my http://www.thirdway.it. website at a very high price. Get them now, you won't regret it. Omnia Magnifica is available only in special rewards who include 2 or more Omnia: The Golden Age "unlimited" decks (Antica, or, if Perduta is unlocked, split between Antica + Perduta). 

• Omnia Magnifica hearts, Egyptian. The King is inspired by a divine Pharaoh. Spades, Persian/Babylonian. The King is inspired by a Sultan. Diamonds, Romans. The Jack is inspired by an epic Gladiator, and the King is an Legatus. Clubs, Greek. The King is a blind Prophet, that can see future. The Jack is his personal guard. Queen of Spades is a warrior of the desert, and needs a cloak to protect herself. The Queen of Clubs is a Phytia, an epic warrior priestess who protect the Island of the Sun. Jokers are very important for this deck. They are Sole, the God of the Sun, and Luna, the Goddess of the Moon. Luna's mask is on the tuck box front and Sole's masks are on the back. The powerful queens of two distant empires in war. I consider Omnia Magnifica as my most baroque deck so far.
