Inspired by the Golden Age of Magic, these playing cards pay homage to some of magic's biggest performers and also some of its most innovative creators.
Limited edition of 1999 numbered decks; each court and number card showcases a magician, a magical effect and a magic prop used by magicians.
The Magicians Tuck Case takes inspiration from a Victorian Era painting which showcases a devil playing cards with the magician on stage. The two are surrounded by enchanted props and 'assistants'.
The back of the cards features a stylish design which is divided into four symmetrical sections. Upon a closer look the viewer can spot two iconic illusions which have mystified crowds for centuries: The Levitating Woman and Sawing a Woman in Half.
Each playing card features the name of a very famous magical effect ("Transposition, "Levitation", "Mentalism") which is portrayed through various illustrations and symbols which can be discovered by exploring each card.
Each number card is split into two sections: on one side we see a magician performing an effect known between magicians and on the other side we get a close up look of a sequence from within the effect.
The deck comes together with a set of instructions that teaches you how you can use the cards from the deck to battle your magician friends in an all out magic war!
