40 years ago, Paul Gross started Hocus Pocus Magic and grew it from a small corner shop into one of the world's largest family owned and operated magic suppliers. Paul has equipped famous magicians and hobbyists alike with everything imaginable from stage props to coin shells, from head twisters to silk scarves, all while providing unparalleled customer service. Paul, along with his sons and family continue to operate the business with the same enthusiasm and dedication to the customers that got them this far. To honor the 40th year of the business, his sons Max and Cole sat down with renowned card designer, Edo Huang, to come up with a deck that would capture the heritage and feel of the company as well as appeal to all areas of card community.

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!

Created in collaboration with artist Dan Frederickson,, each uncut sheet, measuring 22 x 26.5 inches, features Ross Bertram’s photo of Vernon, reimagined through the text of The Expert at The Card Table. The reverse, playing cards one through fifty-two, is a reproduction of the Bee® brand deck Erdnase would have used at the turn of the century. Each uncut sheet is paired with a signed and numbered certificate in the form of a deck of cards. Additionally included are a museum-grade placard, letter pressed and fit for a gallery, and a playing card featuring a facsimile of Vernon’s signature and his age old mantra: “be natural.” Join us as we invite you to hang history on the wall - a true work of art and a constant source of inspiration. Signed and numbered edition of 500.

NOTE - The front of the uncut sheet has standard deck faces and the uncut was meant to show the back which in uncut form has this portrait, as a result the uncut back is considered the front for this entry.

When Vanishing Inc. Magic set out to design its first deck of signature brand playing cards, we had one specific goal in mind: to create the most fashion-forward, subtle, and sophisticated "look" for a deck of cards yet devised. The result is the Dapper Deck Deluxe Package, which is an attractive deck of cards crafted from the finest stock and finish, along with a matching silk tie and a 1000 thread count pocket square. Everything is packaged in a hand-painted wooden lacquer box complete with lock, practice mirror, and Dapper Deck insignia. Each package comes with a numbered, signed certificate by creators Joshua Jay and Andi Gladwin. Strictly limited to 400 units.

We consulted with two fashion industry experts to help us hone a design that would match fine suits that the stylish magicians we create for would wear. The dapper base colors are navy blue or, for more of a punch, Jerry's Nugget Orange. The details are in pastel shades of green, yellow, red, and grey, and each back design is designed to bring out the colors of your wardrobe, and accent the tie or pocket square in your ensemble.

There are two variations of this deck with different barcode number (check images)
