Split Spades - Lion Series




For the past several months David Blaine and his production team have been carefully crafting the next generation of his Split Spades deck - The Lions. The deck features a level of intricacy never before seen in playing card design, and David himself experimented with the feel and finish until he was 101% satisfied.

The Split Spades design is iconic - there is an elegance and a level of intricacy among each element of the core design. The Ace of Spades design (and the box design) are all new, featuring two-way images and hidden text. These features and other revolutionary design components unite to form a deck that is unlike any other.

The finish and card stock is unique and completely new to the Split Spades. Not too thick, not too thin. The focus was to produce a deck that handled well and - just as importantly - lasted.

SPLIT SPADES playing cards are recognized as must-haves among magicians and card players - a true collector's item. The latest edition, the LION DECK, is once again personally designed by David Blaine, in collaboration with renowned artist Mark Stutzman. Printed in limited quantities.

- Made by the United States Playing Card Company from the highest quality papers for improved handling and durability.
- An elegant highly detailed card back design.
- Beautifully designed box
- Custom face cards and Ace of Spades design
- An Optical illusion joker.

Available in black, blue and red.

Price : RM 32.00

Bicycle Raider




The Bicycle Raider deck is the accumulation of years of work by a multitude of magicians, graphic artists, and printing experts. Even before the deck is opened, the box alone alludes that the Raider deck is something special.

When the cellophane is taken off and the cards removed from the pack, the black backing, highest casino grade stock, and Bicycle's own air-cushion finish allow you to immediately fan the cards as if they were an oiled machine. The red numbers, letters, hearts, and diamonds against the black background make every letter, number, and pip pop. The white clubs and spades create a contrast that can grab attention from across the room. Each deck includes jokers that have a full haunting portrait that can create a sly reveal.

From the skulls hidden into Magic Network's original back design, to the card included just for magicians, there is always something new to notice about the Raider deck. And simply using the Raider deck is a way to get you noticed. This is the premium deck of playing cards for those who don't play around with their reputation.

- Original back design.
- Most durable stock available.
- Black border and background.
- Black pressed twice to get darkest black possible.
- White and red pips and midnight royals (Classic royals on black background rather than just inverted.)
- Card revelation built into the jokers.
- Included double back card.

Arcane




Arcane is the first in Ellusionist's new line of Signature playing cards. Whether you infuse your magic with as much magic and mystery as a fantasy story, or you ground yourself in reality through gambling demonstrations, these cards will help your performance become more elegant, mysterious and powerful.

Three top designers from across the globe working never-ending nights, burning midnight oil, and months of midnight jam sessions to bring you a deck of playing cards unparalleled and unsurpassed in the industry.

Michaelangelo took four years to create the Sistine Chapel masterpiece... these took five.

Printed the U.S. Playing Card Company, the Arcane deck sets new standards for playing cards.Arcane paves the way between the old and the new.

Featured within each deck are classic Ellusionist innovations combined with incredible new features:

-A simultaneous release of black and white versions. Choose the color that suits your style, or stock up on both to perform double-deck tricks or multi-colored flourishes and displays.
-An all-new, compelling back design. No angels or bicycles here. Only dark, cryptic glyphs that speak in mysteries. The backs make fans and other XCM displays look like works of art.
-Newly-designed face cards that match the glyphed, smoky backs. Each court card features traditional faces, but a different, Arcane-styled outfit.
-High-resolution printing for incredible appearance gradients, and smoke effects.
-A UV finish that makes the cards look like they are illuminated by powered lights when under a UV lamp.
-A tuck case with wraparound design. This is the first card box of its kind.

Arcane also offers features found in our other decks of custom playing cards, including:

-An incredibly designed Ace of Spades that will carve itself into your mind.
-A newly-designed joker equipped with a blatant yet invisible reveal.
-Traditional elements of playing cards to ensure spectators' familiarity.
-A Gaffed Joker card with a "3HEARTS" reveal included.

LEARN THE UNKNOWN. MASTER THE ARCANE.

Available in white and black.

Black Tiger



Everything about the deck screams HIGH-IMPACT.

The visual impact of the cards is startling. Voodoo, witchcraft, burned and blackened cards... mere concepts come alive with reverse image cards.

The first run of these special edition Tiger decks completely sold out within 96 hours. Now is your chance to get your claws on the second run with even more special edition features, including black-light sensitivity and the highest quality card made by the US Playing Card Company.

As an available option, decks can be purchased with red font color for the hearts and diamond cards the look ----> a w e s o m e.

Price : RM 38.00

Vintage Series 1800




No detail was left untouched-- artwork on each card was delicately hand-crafted by Ellusionist's top graphic team. Even the seal on the deck looks like it was left in a gritty New York alley "for a spell". The cards are an illusion in themselves, because they may look very old, but they handle better than anything out there. You have to keep telling yourself, this is a new deck of cards.

Available in red or blue backs, you'll quickly understand why these cards are so popular when you start using them yourself. It's like holding a work of art in your hands.

Available in red and blue.

Price : RM 35.00

Masters Edition




Your tools are critical. You wouldn't build a house with a $2 hammer.

This deck is meant to be the same. On the surface, Ellusionist's new Masters Edition Playing Cards appear to be completely normal backed Bicycle cards.

Things aren't always as they seem.

Underneath the surface lies remarkable quality never before seen in a normal deck of Bicycle Playing Cards.

Featuring premium, casino-grade card stock, the Masters Edition represents the highest quality playing cards printed at the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC).

The only aesthetic changes are a redesigned, revolutionized Ace of Spades (Check out the images button on the left to see more!) and an amp'd up box.

Available in blue and red.

Price : RM 30.00

Shadow Masters




The theme promotes darkness and shadow.

Looking at the deck, you now know what it is to have efficient, quality tools in your hands.

The finish is Ellusionist??s infamous UV-500 and the stock is thick and luxurious. Black ink gives way to the dusky, faded approach on the artwork.

One Joker holds the sands of time, but this changes to a three of diamonds reveal in the other Joker??s hands. One ??extra card?? is double backed as a gift from Ellusionist to our cardworker friends. The barcode on the box contains a unique reveal as well.

The Ace of Spades is guarded, stately and confined to shadow. Your talent is best kept quiet and used wisely.

Price : RM 40.00

Black Ghost



The original Black Ghost deck did not enter the market except by private sale. It was used by Ellusionist for special promotions and given as a gift to professionals such as Banachek, Blaine, Garcia and others.

The decks easily commanded up to $400 on eBay. An example is the screen capture of this one with a bid of $450, taken April 20, 2008.

Now, after repeated requests for the Black Ghost (more than any product in Ellusionist history), ellusionist are releasing an improved 2nd Edition of the mega-hit. Look for beautiful fanning, luxury stock, killer Jokers, a gaffed card and a sweet J-Diamonds barcode reveal.

Price : RM 40.00

Ghost Decks




Everything about the Ghost Deck is white, black or gray. The only red portion is BLOOD red and is the small pip underneath the index, as seen in the above photo. Even the court cards have the color drained out of them which makes for a powerful and eerie deck.

Designed by Ellusionist, the Bicycle Ghost Deck has a UV-500 Air-Flow Finish, thick high grade stock, and an amazing design. Five solid months of design work went into the Ghost Deck. It maintains the general Bicycle look & feel, but adds incredible touches that the red and blue decks lack.

Latin on the Joker says: "The World Invites Deception".

One of the Jokers is stepping on an Ace of Clubs, one is not. When you turn the Ace of Spades upside down, you'll notice snake heads at the base of the pip. In addition, there is a hand coming out of the top of the Ace. Whereas the Black Tiger Deck is tight, focused and aggressive, the Ghost emanates beauty and energy.

Viper Tally-Ho Fan Back Decks/Silver Pips




Enter the Viper... black, reverse-image playing cards with a buffed, metallic SILVER finish. The Viper injects elegance and forceful authority into a deck that was already spectacular.

The technologically advanced UV500 Air-Flow Finish makes handling these cards a breeze and pure joy.

We've taken an industry standard and actually improved upon the look, design and feel of Tally-Ho Deck. With the help of the USPCC ellusionist has produced one of the best looking and best feeling decks of cards available. Quality control experts at USPCC sat down and went over the production process of the Tally-Ho Viper in order to find out how to improve on the quality of the final product.

The results of that meeting produced the finest cards ever available to consumers. Thick stock resulting in a crisp clean snap to each card. Our UV500 finish with a smooth-as-silk feel, allow these cards to fan and be manipulated freely and easily. And finally a beautiful new look. A look for a new millennium. The Tally-Ho Viper is easily the best looking and feeling card to ever be produced.
