The decks that “marked” the beginning of great card magic"},"content":{"rendered":"

Theodore DeLand<\/strong> was one of the great pioneers of gaff cards and marked decks<\/strong>. In the early twentieth century<\/strong>, he manufactured hundreds of tricks and decks that have endured throughout magic history<\/strong>. Now, the company internationally well-known for and selling online playing cards and magic, Penguin Magic<\/a><\/strong>, has decided to pay tribute<\/strong> to the great magician with the reprints of two of his decks: DELAND CENTENNIAL<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For this project, Penguin Magic<\/strong> has teamed up with the magician, designer and expert on marked decks Phill Smith<\/strong>. The starting point has been two of DeLand’s creations, the Daisy and Nifty decks<\/strong>, first printed in 1919<\/strong>, exactly 100 years ago. Both decks have been completely and carefully redrawn<\/strong> and improved<\/strong> with new features.<\/p>\n

In the design section<\/strong>, the borderless<\/strong> elaborate backs<\/strong> of both decks have been reproduced, adding to them some extra elements<\/strong> (which go completely unnoticed) to provide more information.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The faces<\/strong> have been completely redrawn<\/strong> without losing their vintage<\/strong> essence and the beauty of the asymmetry<\/strong> and imperfection<\/strong> of the time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The tuck cases<\/strong> have a completely new design<\/strong> that combines a retro look<\/strong> with a more modern elegance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to the standard decks<\/strong>, 500 collector sets<\/strong> will be created with two decks with improved tuck cases<\/strong> (better stock<\/strong> and gold foil<\/strong>) inside a nice collector box<\/strong> also foiled<\/strong> in the lid.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the magic section<\/strong>, the decks hide a huge amount of secrets<\/strong> thanks to the improvements<\/strong> made on the marking system with more than 500 marks<\/strong> that allow, through simple techniques<\/strong>, to identify not only suits and values but also more complex sequences and calculations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the technical section<\/strong>, the USPCC<\/strong> will print these decks with their best stock and finish and the traditional cut which will give the cards much better handling in expert hands.<\/p>\n

Other extras<\/strong> such as custom seals<\/strong> or gilded edges<\/strong> in the collector set will be unlocked as stretch goals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you are a magician<\/strong> and you want to give a retro<\/strong> and elegant<\/strong> touch<\/strong> to your routines, or you are looking for a special<\/strong> and historical<\/strong> set<\/strong> for your collection<\/strong>, do not hesitate to visit the project website<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and raise your pledge.<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
