Introducing the Carbon Deck, a little gem born from the creative minds of designer Nick Nisco, the grandmaster of Elemental Playing Cards, and the talented Luke Wadey. This collaboration gave birth to two distinct editions: Diamond Edition and Graphite Edition. Yes, we’re talking about the different faces of carbon here.
Now, let’s shine a spotlight on the Diamond Edition. This deck is crafted specifically for magicians who like their cards smooth and their secrets safe. Crafted from premium Bee stock, this deck features a nifty marking system that’s as deceptive as your best sleight of hand.
The back design? Oh, it’s a work of art. It takes inspiration from the classic Tally-Ho Circle Backs but gives it a twist. The two-way back showcases a central circle that mimics the elegance of a round-cut diamond, constructed from a mosaic of different black and white shapes. When you catch the light just right, it looks like the diamond is actually shimmering! The four circles circling the diamond represent carbon's four valence electrons and nod to those snazzy prongs you see holding gems snug in their settings. And just in case anyone forgets what edition they’re looking at, you’ll also spot "Diamond Edition" around the perimeter.
Let’s break down what you’re getting with this shiny treasure:
One-time print run of 2500 decks, lovingly printed by USPCC
Premium Bee stock with an air cushion finish that feels just right
56 fully custom cards, including 3 Jokers and 1 sneaky gaff card
Custom tuck box with a seal that’s certainly not your run-of-the-mill
Traditional cut for that familiar feel
Two-way back design for maximum versatility
Fully marked deck with easy-to-read value and suit for those quick glances
So, whether you’re dazzling your audience or just appreciating the fine craftsmanship that went into these cards, the Diamond Edition is ready to take your performances up a notch. Get ready to make magic with a touch of elegance!
