Like most magicians, the pandemic hit after his show, <strong>Magic Box<\/strong>, was awarded as the best magic show in France, so his confined <strong>creative spirit<\/strong> led him on the adventure of <strong>producing his own deck<\/strong>. But it couldn&#8217;t be just any deck, so he recruited a team that shared his goal for a <strong>well done job<\/strong>, <strong>quality<\/strong>, <strong>surprise<\/strong>, a good dose of <strong>sense<\/strong> <strong>of<\/strong> <strong>humor<\/strong> and, above all, tons of <strong>illusion<\/strong>. More than a year of tireless work has enabled the launch of this<strong> unique deck<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>JLB is, at first glance, a <strong>beautiful<\/strong>, <strong>elegant<\/strong> deck with <strong>a fun touch<\/strong>. Oversized <strong>aces<\/strong>, customized <strong>court cards<\/strong>, a classic <strong>back<\/strong>, and a premium <strong>embossed tuck case<\/strong> with inner printing, make this a &#8220;seemingly perfect&#8221; deck for a night of <strong>poker<\/strong> with friends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21254 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/JLB_aces.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"189\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/JLB_aces.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/JLB_aces-300x83.jpeg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/189;\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21255 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/JLB_backcourt.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"203\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/JLB_backcourt.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/JLB_backcourt-300x90.jpeg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/203;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, an <strong>advanced and conscientious development<\/strong> has made this deck a<strong> powerful working tool<\/strong> for any professional or amateur magician.
