Video review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXecy-byScQ

Aces From The Fore is a visual, eye-popping, Ace EXPLODING routine invented by the actual wizard that is Stephen Tucker.

The special Bicycle branded gimmicks provided allow you to take a Four of Hearts and proceed to tear the Ace of Hearts straight out of it. One second you're holding the Four of Hearts, then next you have the Ace of Hearts and the Three of Hearts.

Then you tear the Ace of Diamonds from the Three of Hearts, leaving you with the Two of Spades (well, you are looking for BLACK aces now).

To finish you pull the Ace of Spades from the Two of Spades, leaving you with the Ace of Clubs... and - voila - YOU HAVE RIPPED ALL FOUR ACES FROM A SINGLE CARD!

Fast and furious, this virtually self-working stunner makes the perfect opening for ANY set of card routines.

Learn not only the cunning principle and how to use the devious gaffs, but master advanced handlings, regular deck variations and even a borrowed, shuffled deck impromptu version.

PLUS - As a MEGA bonus, Aces From The Fore just happens to finish with you set and ready to perform one of the greatest four Ace tricks of all time... and WE TEACH YOU HOW TO DO IT!!!

The Sisterhood of Blood - Playing Cards by Kirk Slater @fiftytworavens 52ravens.com

A custom designed deck of poker sized vampiric playing cards. Designed by 52Ravens and printed by The Expert Playing Card Company. The theme of this deck is based on London vampires from the Victorian era. As with 52Ravens previous project, The Coven, this deck also features an all female cast of court cards. Each of them have a different story to tell, but together they become The Sisterhood of Blood.

Each of the vampires have names and backstories that help to bring these beautiful monsters alive. Along side this, each of the groups follow a theme, the Jacks have just fed, the Queens revel in their malice and the Kings immortality is coming to a close.

The Aces are all larger and custom designed.

The tweaked pips follow a standard position but are slightly smaller and the layout is condensed compared to a standard deck of cards.

This deck is so versatile, it's like many decks in one!

De'vo's playing cards have appeared on many television shows including Stan Lee's Super Humans television show! De'vo's cards are in the homes of celebrities and Hollywood superstars and used by magicians, card players and card artists around the world. Some of his decks sell out just minutes after release.

De'vo created the world's first playing card deck for card flourishing, and the world's very first Cardistry decks! De'vo's special design concepts are groundbreaking and lead the world in functional design. De'vo has now taken his design genius to another planet with this LIMITED EDITION groundbreaker!

WTF Cardistry is a very specialized deck for card manipulators, cardists, magicians, XCMers and card collectors. This deck was designed to change its appearance depending on how it is manipulated and also was secretly designed to be able to SPELL almost any word!

It can look like a WHITE DECK when fanned from left to right.

A BLACK DECK when fanned from the other side.

The cards are "reversible," allowing you to choose if you want the fan to look like a black deck, or white deck, or you can weave them into each other for some crazy results!

The back design is De'vo's Twin Tip Signature design, allowing for multiple patterns depending on how it is fanned.

video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag2Ju4zJUWA

The legends of the Miao people of China have survived for millennia, remembered for their poetry and beauty. Now the US Playing Card Company has given a new twist to the standard deck by infusing it with the symbols of Miao tradition.

Each card is printed with metallic ink on both the face and back—the tuck case, too. They are made from high-quality stock with a smooth finish. As for the art itself, the pips have been subtly re-patterned, the court cards are elegantly bordered, and the intricate custom joker has to be seen to be believed! The card backs show a powerful luck totem. Will this deck bless your gaming table as these symbols have blessed the Miao for centuries?

Video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfsNnZ63fdU

Introducing Bicycle Vintage! The deck of playing cards that have been locked up for nearly a century waiting for someone to come along and rediscover it. The intricate casing has aged beautifully as the tuck has yellowed but the red has kept its vibrant color through the years.

This deck of playing cards is printed by Bicycle and produced by Collectable Playing Cards.

Bicycle Playing Cards have been around for a long long time but never before has there been such a wonderfully crafted simplistic design that portrays the way cards used to be.
The Bicycle Vintage deck's emblem appears to resemble an old time secret society with the spade as it's symbol.

Tangram Playing Cards by Kiran Kuruvithadam

video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXZTC1vhhR0

Tangram Playing Cards, are a beautiful tribute to one of the most popular dissection puzzles in the world. Used as entertainment as early as the Song Dynasty, these delightful shapes create a multitude of memorable designs.

Each card back features 2 koi fish swimming in an aqua blue green pool of geometric shapes. The trailing water is a perfect swirl for flourishing or a centerpiece for predictions.

The custom pips and court cards creatively utilize the Tangram shapes to create a unique design for each of the card faces.

The tuck features the traditional Tangram dissection puzzle in a diamond placed on a grey and white background, hovering over a horizon of green hues. The tuck side pays tribute to the Tangram puzzle known as THE SEVEN STONES OF WISDOM.

Video review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKDUaB-syWg

You'll be entranced how the card backs in this new deck, Wonder Playing Cards, have a swirling pattern of intricate lines and colors to create a hypnotic spell.

It's like a time warp when spun or moved rapidly during cardistry moves. The yellow, red and blue spiral lines blur-- then you'll slowly focus on a simple eye design in the center of the card.

The custom Ace of Spades center pip repeats the colorful, circular mosaic bars from the back design.

The tuck front artistically plays on the Wonder name by placing the eye on the lower right-hand corner of the box, surrounded by the colorful maze of red, blue, and yellow. The tuck back authentically represents the playing card backs.

Add some Wonder to your magic or Cardistry.

video review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHtyC3yIYXI

The Confessions series is the follow up to Daniel Madison's previous work "HELLIONS" that he collaborated with Oban Jones.

The word "saint" is derived from a Greek verb (hagiazo [aJgiavzw]) whose basic meaning is "to set apart, " "sanctify, " or "make holy." In the history of the Old Testament religion, the idea of holiness or separateness was inherent in the concept of God. God was unapproachable in the tabernacle or temple by the ordinary individual, being accessible only to the priests and only under carefully specified conditions.

Paul addresses the letter to all the Christians in Rome as saints ( Rom 1:7 , because Gentiles who, as wild olive branches have been grafted into the stem of Judaism, now share in the full relationship to that plant and are also saints ), but the Jewish Christians in Rome, who are to be recipients of a special contribution Paul collected among Gentile churches, are called "the saints" in distinction ( Rom 15:25-33 ).
