RAVN is back, in purple! A custom-designed deck of poker size playing cards designed by Stockholm17 for Caroline Ravn magician. They teamed up to deliver an elegant and classic looking deck of playing cards, with improved courts and standard faces. Perfect to perform magic tricks, cardistry, and of course to play at the green table.
The deck is printed by Cartamundi on a special paper stock with specific 9C² varnish designed for better handling and durability.
In 2016 Cartamundi manufactured a special deck that was presented at the Cardistry-Con, in Berlin. They focused on the paper and the varnish, not just the graphics. Cartamundi is providing this amazing paper stock and finish that is smooth and durable, specifically designed for cardists.
This deck features 56 cards:
- Cards where printed on Cambric 310gr Black Core paper with 9C² varnish.
- 52 standard faces with improved courts (JQK) and custom Ace of Spades.
- 2 custom jokers similar to the first version of Ravn, but with a twist.
- gaff card: duplicate card (7 of diamonds)
- gaff card: double backer
- The back-side design is the same as the previous version, but in purple.
- The look of the 12 court cards have been improved. The faces of the Jacks, Queens and Kings where improved, and their hands have been redrawn as well.
