Each tuck case has been embossed and stamped with layers of gold-foiling. The result is nothing short of breathtaking. Out of the box, conjurors and collectors alike will enjoy 14 custom illustrated court-cards representing the foundational “makers” civilization has been built on. To us, these individuals are the pillars of unparalleled craftsmanship: something that we hold in the highest regard. MAKERS are both a tribute and a celebration. Printed by the U.S. Playing Card Co. using an exclusive “crushed stock” process to create a more refined and lighter deck of playing cards. Limited Collectors' Box Set Limited Edition of 500. Crafted out of solid wood, the MAKERS Collectors Box Set boasts a gorgeous green-leather interior and a vintage-inspired lock and key. While the two decks of MAKERS inside are safely secured, this is not a lockbox to be stored away with card-trimmers and secrets of old. This special edition box is made for display—be it the drawing-room or the private lounge, the gold lettering etched into these individual works of art is sure to catch eyes and start conversations. Additionally, with every set, culled from our Private Reserve, comes a deck of Gold Label MAKERS, featuring a minimal gold-on-white colorway—a deck so phenomenal we’ve only made enough for this limited run and ourselves. https://www.dananddave.com/products/makers

Limited Edition Gold-on-Gold

The box is just as breathtaking as the cards within it. For the first time, Monarchs are printed with gold foil on gold paper, deeply embossed and - now more than ever - truly fit for a king.

 

Gold Foil Card Backs

Unlike ANY other Playing Cards

For six months, we’ve been keeping one secret closely guarded. In collaboration with USPC, we began testing an experimental new process, for the first time applying gold foil DIRECTLY on the back of playing cards.

The cards are then processed with Bicycle’s most durable finish - resulting in a card that spreads, fans, shuffles, and tears just like a normal playing card. Based on research at USPC, they’re 400% more durable and 30% more flexible than any other foil application. Scratch them, twist them, tear them, bend them - the foil doesn’t come off.

Playing Cards Fit for a King

THE FINEST. THE BEST.

Monarch Playing Cards are used throughout the film by the cast, and this special edition features the Now You See Me 2 title across the front in breathtaking silver foil.

From encarded.com:

The First Edition of the Encarded Standard deck features a metallic blue back and a 70's vintage-inspired, top loading tuck box with silver foil and embossing details.

Printed by the Expert Playing Card Company (the same printer as the amazing Zenith deck), the Standards feature the perfect borders, smooth edges and amazing handling customary to every EPCC deck.

This first edition is a small run, with less than 2500 decks available from Encarded and roughly 500 more available exclusively from Conjuring Arts. 

Once this First Edition sells out, we will design an entirely new box and release a new deck color so that we always have a great, affordable and usable deck in stock. This classic blue will always be the first, so be sure to get some of this limited run while you can!

This is an exclusive & limited deluxe edition of our fantastic Honeybee playing cards. In this deck we have an all-new custom back design and tuck box design. Honeybee MetalLuxe Kickstarter campaign.

The card backs will be created with black ink and gold foil. Being able to stamp foil directly onto the backs of playing cards is a recent innovation at USPCC, using their "MetalLuxe" process. This material shines and reflects in a gorgeous way, much more than metallic inks!

For years, the only option to give a deck a metallic look was ink, which absorbs into the paper and only gives a subtle effect. By applying pure foil directly to the cards, the MetalLuxe process creates level and shine that is unparalleled. We could not be more excited about using this process on this very special Honeybee deck!

Cards as special as this definitely need a box to match; and this tuck box will be far from ordinary. It will be crafted from high-grade black paper (not black ink printed over white paper), with TWO types of foil. It will truly be a sight to behold and will be an instant stand-out in your collection.

The second edition of the Jaspas Deck is the most bae deck you've ever seen, in baby pink and tiffany blue. It feels perfectly broken in right out of the box, and when combined with fanning powder, handles unlike any other deck you've felt before. You really can't blame us for wanting to keep the stock and finish a secret ;) Only 1,037 decks have been printed for this Jaspas Deck Primeval edition. Each deck is individually numbered, so you can be sure of its exclusivity!

Funded as a Kickstarter project on May 23, 2014 with $27,421 pledged from 588 backers, this was a two deck set consisting of both a Standard and Limited Edition.

This PCDB Entry is for the Limited Edition Serial Numbered deck. Aquila Serial Numbered Box Sets - Include 1 Standard Edition and 1 Limited Edition with Holographic Serial Numbered Seals, matching Serial Numbered Custom Box and Matching Certificate of Authenticity. ONLY 500 Sets were produced. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kardify/aquila-playing-cards Aquila also tied for winning the Best Pips award from UnitedCardists 2014 Deck of the Year http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6448

Chancellor follows in the footsteps of Zenith and is possibly the most beautiful deck we have created. Inspired by a small detail on a century-old Bicycle card back, Chancellor grew into an incredibly detailed artwork, packing all of the experience and design innovations that Encarded has developed since our founding in 2011.

There will be just 1000 decks of Chancellor printed. The Chancellor tuck is incredible, with thick matte black paper, two foils and large scale, incredibly detailed blind embossing. The deck is sealed with a beautiful metallic foil seal, individually numbered and carefully designed to integrate with the tuck design.

The card backs are printed on the same Master finish stock as Zenith and features FOUR metallic inks that intertwine into a detailed, "shadow bordered" back with subtle edge details and dimension. The faces are fully custom, with a dramatic court featuring beautiful detail and unique colorations. 

Ellusionist information: In 2012, Peter McKinnon and Daniel Madison collaborated on a video project in the dry lake-beds of Las Vegas, not quite realising at that time such a simple meeting of two creative minds would lead them to The KINGS deck. Whenever Peter and Daniel work together, waves are made and a unique creative vessel is opened. The Kings deck is the ultimate representation of their joint creative forces. Peter and Daniel spent a lot of time brainstorming, designing and creating their ideal deck of cards… Cards that would be fit for Kings. Peter and Daniel were meticulous and scrupulous with their requirements for the deck. They tested numerous stocks and finishes until they found and created a unique Kings finish and stock. The cards were traditionally cut to further advance gambling techniques, they are sturdy yet flexible enough for cardistry and sleight-of-hand. They wanted a box that would look like a block of gold - direct from the Kings share - with a deck of cards perfectly designed to cater for both minimalistic beauty and a stunning design, but it didn’t stop there… Peter and Daniel decided to make the Kings deck a secret weapon right out of the box… Readily stacked in Mnemonic AND fully marked so that not only would the performer be able to identify every singe card in the deck by the back alone, but also have the ability perform instant Mnemonic miracles. They added a double-backer and two unique and personalised jokers, and on top of that, they lost the ad-card and replaced it with an Angle Z Gaff card. Two years in the making, Peter and Daniel returned to Las Vegas to celebrate their creation and film a heist that would represent their collaborative brilliance.
