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.

The Sultan. Once the most powerful man in the known world. A Commander. A Ruler. A God King. It was at the Sultan\'s behest that the Republic rose. Altruistic and philanthropic, the Sultan now shares his wealth with his people. We searched out to capture the majesty of the Sultan, of the treasures he amassed, and the stories of a simpler time. Over 8 months in the making, lead designer Mike Clarke spent countless hours finessing the design of everything from the curlicues on the box flap to the muted red lines of the herringboned hearts, delivering the perfect balance of form and function throughout. Printed on the finest stock the US Playing Card company has to offer, the pulp fibres have been specially compressed to offer the utmost in durability whilst achieving a thinner card with a pleasing snap. Layered with Ellusionist\'s own Performance Coating finish, the Sultan Republic is quite possibly the best deck we have ever made. But don\'t take our word for it - try them out for yourself.

A very rare white version of the Nautical deck. This deck features the same custom faces and sea-worthy theme as the Red and Blue decks, but with a white back design. The tuck box has an all-over net pattern. The white deck also features its own unique designs for the Aces and a custom seal. Like the Red and Blue decks, the White Nauticals feature a thin and snappy stock that's very durable and long-lasting. This deck is limited and will never be reprinted.

New Artist - New Printer - New Deck The Nautical Deck is the brainchild of artist Edo Huang, and is reminiscent of a classic bordered Bee design. Everything about the deck is inspired by the sea. From the rope-like pattern & life preservers integrated into the back design, to the rope border on the court cards, and the impressive ship joker. The cards are printed on a thin, flexible, and durable stock that's manufactured and hand-finished in Shanghai. The more they are used, the better these cards perform! The cards have a fine embossed texture, with a feel and handling unlike any other deck we've produced to date!

Zenneth Kok and the Coterie of Prestidigitation Artists (www.coterie1902.com) information: \'We designed the Coterie Bee Gold Edition in year 2011 with its color variations and themes, the original Gold Edition was considered by many as the most elegant Bee playing cards ever conceived. 900 decks out of the initial 5200 decks run were sealed and reserved for Artiste and higher classes members of Coterie of Prestidigitation Artists. After Coterie Bee Gold Edition was sold out, we planned to proceed with new edition of Coterie Bee. However, after over a year of correspondence and negotiation, USPCC informed us that they will not print Coterie Bee anymore nevertheless. We had to discontinue the Coterie Bee series and subsequently decided to abandon the Gold Seal Coterie Bee playing cards as part of the Artiste membership package. 650 decks of Gold Seal Coterie Bee playing cards will now be made available for purchase, after they were gone, the remaining stock will become part of our special promotion offer.\'
