Marked / Gaff Playing Cards

The Black and Gold edition features shiny gold foil on all of the court cards, the Ace of Spades, one of the two jokers and of course, the back design. All four aces have large custom centre pips in the theme of the floral back design.

Gilded edges! A gilt card is a beautiful card. But it's well known that gilding interferes with how cards feel and the smoothness of fanning.

With the help of Cartamundi, we are working with gild specialists in France whose work not only protects the quality of the cards, but enhances the pack's magical features, and defends against humidity and hand moisture that so often weakens un-gilt cards along their vulnerable edges.

The marked edition contains 54 cards, a double-backer, and an instructional card which explains the marking systems.

The unmarked edition contains 54 cards and a blank face card.

All Butterfly Playing Cards Black decks are printed by Cartamundi on Slimline card stock with the True Linen B9 finish.

What is the difference between the marked and unmarked cards?

The marked Butterfly deck will empower you to perform miracles not possible with any other deck of cards in the world. So if this is your goal, go for marked.

If you're looking for luxurious cards to play card games with, the marked cards would not be suitable, so go for unmarked.

• Kraft tuck box - thick and sturdy.
• Printed to perfection by The United States Playing Cards Company
• THIN CRUSHED premium stock with air-cushion finish
• Marked for Clubs, Hearts, Spades, and Diamonds.

Carbon Diamond Edition is one of two decks designed for the element Carbon. The other being Graphite. The Diamond Edition was designed with magicians in mind with its premium Bee stock and included marking system.

The two-way back design features a familiar central circle design element originally made popular by the Tally-Ho Circle Backs. The design here is meant to represent a round-cut diamond using a mosaic of various shapes and shades of black and white. The darker background coupled with this mosaic give off an optical illusion of a diamond shimmering in the light.

The four circles placed around the perimeter of the round-cut diamond represent the 4 valence electrons carbon contains, as well as familiar place-setting prongs often found in jewelry to hold gems in place. Around the perimeter of the diamond you will also see the words "Diamond Edition."

Features include:

• One time print run 2500 decks, printed by USPCC
• Premium Bee stock with air cushion finish
• 56 fully custom cards including 3 Jokers and 1 gaff card
• Fully custom tuck with custom seal
• Traditional cut
• Two-way back design
• Fully marked deck with easy-to-read value and suit

Teaming up with Vanishing Inc., Eric Jones introduces "The Esoteric Deck"-a custom deck of cards designed with both magicians and deck collectors in mind.

Designed from the ground up with support from artist Destino, the "Esoteric Deck" flawlessly blends a gorgeous aesthetic with premium functionality. Its handsome back design is complemented perfectly by reimagined faces. Packed into a matching foil-embossed card box with no seal, this deck has the cachet to serve as a centerpiece in any collection. However, they're also designed to be used, which is why they're manufactured on superior quality slimline stock with a B9 finish by Cartamundi.

Inside the case, you'll also find a special instruction card explaining the innovative marking system that's carefully hidden within the customized back design. This marking system is essentially impossible for your spectators to discover, yet allows you to identify the suit and value of any card with just a glance once you know the secret.

With two different versions available-the sophisticated Gold Edition and ravishing silver Static Edition-the "Esoteric Deck" suits any performer or collector.

Completely unassuming in design, but devastating in function. Even if you told them the truth they wouldn't believe you.

•  Normal deck of 52 cards for regular magic effects.
•  E7 Professional-grade stock
•  Angle Z Gaff
•  Duplicate Ace of Spades with Crow... you know why.
•  Monte Gimmick
•  Marked

This deck allows you to open with the ultimate ice-breaker (a hilariously bad 'cat' deck), but close with the power of 10,000 panthers riding unicorns through your spectators head.

Mind = blown.

DEFECT:

When printing these the markings on the diamonds were applied backwards in their sequence.

This means you won’t be able to use the covert markings to read any diamond card selected with accuracy.

All the other markings are fine, functional and unaffected. Just Ace to King of diamonds.

If you weren’t using these primarily as a marked deck, then you won’t notice the difference.

They still handle incredibly well and were printed on our new, sought-after E7 stock. Luxury in a box.

This deck was opened for video purposes only. Cards remain in immaculate condition.
