Here’s a modern twist on an age-old gambling trick (because who doesn’t love a little mischief?).
The Ruby Duos are a brilliantly marked deck that lets you find any card from a shuffled pack without peeking or even fanning out the cards. It’s like having a memorised deck, but without all that pesky memorisation.
The branding is spot on: the focal dots cleverly distract the eye, steering you away from the lined pattern that encodes every single card. (Nice work, Jake!)
Printed on the legendary stock from Hanson Chien, these beauties boast a vintage finish and a traditional cut. They faro like a dream right out of the box and strike the ideal balance between softness and snap.
The tuck box is made from durable synthetic paper, built to withstand the rigours of your magical shenanigans. The deck comes in an Aronson stack straight off the shelf and includes a blank face card and a double backer, bringing you to a neat 54-card set.
After over a year of tweaking and tinkering, the Ruby Duos are the brainchild of Jake Banfield. The unique horizontal line pattern is a clever fix for those pesky border width issues during printing, and the symmetrical design means the markings are visible from either beveled edge—regardless of how you shuffle. Printed on crisp white stock with a sharp white border, the Ruby Duos are also perfect for all your go-to sleights (because, let’s be honest, we all have our favourites).
