VIEWS Playing Cards are a luxury, illusion-themed deck of cards created for cardists and magicians alike.

Manufactured by The United States Playing Card Company. Traditionally-cut and printed on crushed Bee® stock, a dream feel for any card handler.

No expense was spared to create this unique deck of cards. The box is crafted out of a synthetic soft-touch paper for a unique luxury feel. It is surrounded by the mind-bending illusion hot-stamped in white and mint foil. “VIEWS PLAYING CARDS” is embossed and hot-stamped with gold and white foil.

 The cards are designed from scratch and 100% custom. The back design features the motion-like bending VIEWS dots with a mint undertone to create the illusion. The face cards have custom pips, and the courts have Pantone metallic inks.

Talons Playing Cards are an astonishing display of strength and cunning. Similar to the claws of predatory birds, a deck of playing cards is the weapon of choice for a magician on the streets.

The orange colour is sure to demand the attention you need to stand out. The matching tuck box has a smooth gloss orange finish.

Printed by the USPCC on special extra-thin crushed stock for optimal performance.

Manufacturer's Write Up:
 
SNITCH is a super-fast, no-palming Signed Card to Envelope effect!

Perfect for the beginner, a worker for the pro.

Effect: A card is freely selected and signed by the spectator. All the cards are placed back in the box, and the spectator causes her signed card to completely vanish from the pack.

From your pocket, you produce a small, SEALED envelope that was mailed to you. When the envelope is opened, the spectator's signed card is found INSIDE!

Peter Eggink's SNITCH is a beautiful, powerful Signed Card to Envelope for the real worker and yet perfect for a beginner.

Comes complete with custom-made SNITCH gimmick, special printed Tyvek envelope, and online instructions. Performance tips and bonus handling are also included!

Title: Invisible Triumph
Creator: Jim Krenz
Publisher: Vanishing Inc.
MSRP: $ 30
Skill Level: All
Video download Run time: 16 min

Type of effect:  Triumph Effect

Manufacturer's Write Up: What Jim Krenz has created is not only a Triumph effect, but a Triumph of method. Its ingenuity and craftiness will astound not only spectators, but you as well when you see it in action.

You will see cards intentionally and fairly mixed face up and face down. The spectator can square the mixed cards. Yet, as you suspect, the deck rights itself to all face down save for one selected card. The amazing thing is that it really looks that clean! In fact, you'll be able to perform this right out of the box without sleight of hand!

Even better, Jim teaches two incredible handlings: one with a selected card and one with a thought-of card. Yes, we said "thought-of card."

It's pure, it's simple, it's elegantly magical, and it's time to elevate your routine to a Triumph and get your copy of Invisible Triumph today!

Title: Neo Mix
Creator: Jim Krenz
Publisher: Vanishing Inc
MSRP: $ 20
Skill Level: All
DVD Run time: 17:04

Type of effect: Oil and Water Kicker Ending

Manufacturer's Write Up:

Jim Krenz won the coveted Fechter's MVP award the year he debuted NeoMix. For those who don't know, this means that Jim (and NeoMix) were voted the MVP by 300 of the top sleight-of-hand artists in the world. So, what is NeoMix?

NeoMix is a three-phase Oil and Water unlike any you have ever seen before. The first two phases are astonishing and clean (and, happily, moveless!). But it's the third phase that will knock your audiences for a loop. After demonstrating how red and black cards separate by magic, you shake the packet of cards between your hands and reveal that ALL THE PIPS HAVE NOW MIXED ACROSS THE CARDS! You create, through magic, a packet of misprinted, bizarre, and visually arresting "impossible" cards that your spectators will never forget.

This is one of those tricks that can't be done justice through description. Do yourself a favor and watch the trailer to the end... it fooled some of the top magicians in the world. Did it fool you?

Title: Perplex
Creator: Criss Smith
Publisher: Magic On Demand & Flatcap Production
MSRP: $ 25
Skill Level: Intermediate
DVD Run time: 51 minutes

Type of effect: Color change

Manufacturer's Write Up: Criss Smith is an underground magician who regularly performs at the Bristol Illusions Bar UK, where he has honed his craft and creates real world effects, moves, controls, switches, forces and much more. This DVD contains his proven and tested effects, that kill in his working environment.

"Beautiful application, the card punks will love this."
- John Carey

What's on the DVD ????

PERPLEX v1
A visual color change that can be seen to happen right under the spectator's nose.
You can use this effect in any setting or condition.
Your spectators will see the card visually change right before their very eyes.

PERPLEX v2
This version of PERPLEX can be used in a different way to create an invisible switch between 2 playing cards. This lends itself to some great applications and killer effects!
A very powerful and convincing switch to add to your magic arsenal.

Desirous
A single playing card is chosen and then placed back into the center of the deck. Once the top card is shown being a different selection and left face up protruding away from the deck, you give your spectator half a second to visually see their card change into their first selection.
'Eye Popping Magic at Its Best' and a very worthy 'Ambitious Card Routine' to add to your set.

Chameleon
A selected red card can be shown, signed and placed face down into a red face-down deck. Whilst you leave the red deck tabled and never touch it, the spectator can fan the cards out to discover that their signed selection has turned face up! You add an extra kicker by showing the signed selection has changed to having a blue back color. Sit back and take your applause.

Will to Gleason
A really nice Sandwich routine. Two red Jacks are produced, which you leave to one side. The spectator then chooses a card and leaves it lost in the middle of the deck, which could then be shuffled as much as they want. Now the two red face-up Jacks, from the table, are placed back into a face-down deck. With only a few words, you elegantly spread the deck and the spectator's selection is caught between the two red Jacks.

Deliverance
This effect is a really nice Ace Assembly, where four Aces can be seen tabled and one card is then selected. This card can be left face down in a face-up pack of cards fanned out on a table in full view. The four Aces are then shown face up, and one of the Aces turns face down. The suit of the Ace matches the suit of the selected card. After a short pause, the two cards instantly change places with each other!

Octopus Force
With a few really cool shuffles and cuts, a card is seemingly freely chosen. This force can be applied to any effect and looks awesome.

The Latin phrase Verum Videre translated means "See the Truth"

Verum Videre issues in a new chapter for Kings Wild Project. One of the goals of KWP was to be able to be more self-sufficient in the total production process of making the playing cards. They do this in an effort to create the most personal and bespoke playing cards possible. They also do this because of a Biblical principal and verse that they have adopted as a mission statement for both their life and business.

1 Thessalonians 4:11
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

video review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5yMhwTbsis

Rockets are a taste of nostalgia. A deck of cards born from a world of pure imagination. Styled from the famous frozen treat, Rockets look just as tasty in your hand.
The back design is simple, imperfect and fun. Adding boldness back into your card handling.

Lines seem to connect during cardistry and shuffling moves, creating more daring visuals with little effort.

Each pip and court card is turned up, with brighter, more radiant colors that accentuate every spin, flick or twirl.

The tuck is a classic matte finish featuring a rocket lolly flying through space, while the inside is extensively printed with a universe worth exploring.
Magician's rejoice! Each deck of Rockets comes with a duplicate 9 of spades and a double backer. Perfect for adding a new flavor to your card magic straight out of the box.

Papilio Ulysses V3 Playing Cards (printed by US Playing Card Company) encourages all who hold this amazing deck to experience its beauty and "Alis volat propriis" - Fly with your own wings.  When in flight, the female Ulysses butterfly can be seen hundreds of meters away as sudden bright blue flashes.

The value and quality of Papilio Ulysses Playing Cards is undeniable. Every card was thoughtfully modified to represent the stages of metamorphosis and flight. Each of the court cards are customized with royal beauty and class.  The numbered cards delightfully include a customized pip, while retaining the familiar design of the key indices.  In honor of this phenomenon, metallic blue and gold ink is strategically speckled throughout the deck on the tuck case, card backs, court cards and Jokers. The simple white and metallic blue tuck case cocoons the beauty and the unique color of the deck inside. The tuck also fittingly includes a prediction element for magicians:
