Main Features
- RETRO CASSETTE-INSPIRED TUCK CASE: A true homage to vintage cassette tape boxes, featuring bold color bands, grid patterns, tape duration details, and a trapezoid cutout revealing the black inner structure: just like the classics from the 80s.
- RETRO-INSPIRED DESIGN: Dive into the vibrant spirit of the 1980s with court cards reimagined in bold Memphis-style patterns, echoing the pop culture and TV aesthetics of the era. Each card features subtle nods to iconic 80s objects and hairstyles for an extra touch of nostalgia.
- PRINTED BY USPCC: Manufactured by the United States Playing Card Company, the gold standard for magicians and cardists. The deck uses premium Casino Stock and Linen Finish for smooth handling, perfect fans, and long-lasting durability.
- PERFECT FOR MAGIC, CARDISTRY & PLAY: The card backs feature a bold 2-way cassette inspired design with crisp white borders: perfect for clean visuals in cardistry and seamless handling in magic routines. While fully custom, the court cards remain easily recognizable for gameplay and hide clever Easter eggs for magicians, including a hidden prediction in the King of Diamonds' beeper.
