Knowledge is power, mate. Whether you're dazzling an audience or just trying to outsmart your mates at cards, being ahead of the game is essential. A marked deck is like having a secret weapon in your back pocket. But let's be honest, most marking systems are either as confusing as quantum physics or so tiny you need a microscope to read them. Enter Diamond Playing Cards — DJT’s masterstroke.
As a seasoned magician, DJT knows that creating unforgettable moments is the name of the game. He steered clear of certain card brands that screamed “look at me!” (and not in a good way). Instead, he pondered, "What if I could whip out a deck that looked classic, yet had an air of mystery? What if the audience felt something special the moment I pulled out the box?" And voilà! The Diamond Playing Cards were born.
The box itself is a sleek black with a matte finish that just begs to be examined. The enigmatic Celtic Diamond gives it an old-world charm, while the raised silver foil ink adds a touch of class. There’s a cheeky black-on-black ambigram that subtly spells out 'diamond', hinting at the surprises that lie within. And let’s not forget the stylish metallic seal — because presentation matters, right?
These cards are printed on USPCC's finest stock and come with an air-cushioned finish (so they feel as good as they look). The faces are standard, making them familiar to your audience (because no one likes a confused spectator). The Aces? They sport custom large pips that stick with the mysterious Celtic vibe. Plus, you get a blank-faced card and a double-backed card for your magical shenanigans. A sneaky one-way element helps you locate selections with ease.
The best bit? It’s hiding in plain sight! Each card has an easy-to-read marking system. Once you decode those sneaky marks, you’ll be able to read them from a couple of feet away (no squinting required). Left-handed card players will be chuffed to know the markings are in all four corners. DJT and award-winning designer Phill Smith put a bucketload of time and effort into this project. Diamond Playing Cards are bound to turn heads and let card workers pull off some proper miracles.
