Inspired by legend. Derived from mythology. Illustrated by hand.
Good and Evil. Right and Wrong. Light and Darkness. Archangels.
Inspired by mythology, crafted by hand, and ripped from the pages of legend, comes a new level of intricate design - the Archangel Playing Cards.
Showcasing a battle of EPIC proportions.
A juxtaposition of good and evil, the Archangels illustrate an epic battle of angels and demons. A close look at the back design reveals a tale of two opposing forces. The angels on the left, and the demons on the right - locked into an eternal stalemate.
Six months of painstaking pen-and-ink illustration.
The result? Simply epic. Archangels contain original artwork on the box, back design, Joker, and the Ace of Spades. Never before seen debossed ridges provide a unique feel that compliment the gold foil across the face and sides of the playing card box.
Made in the USA at The United States Playing Card Company on top of the line quality papers, stock, and finish. Produced by theory11 and illustrated by Tom Lane in the United Kingdom.
The dark psychology of artifice and deception.
Full Overview
Perfection was only the first step. Enter, the next generation of Artifice. Second Edition: Emerald.

Players by Daniel Madison [Limited Edition]
A deck designed with a secret code revealing the identity of each and every card
A direct collaboration with underground artist Daniel Madison.
From the start, we wanted to create a deck that was function first - then form. A secret weapon, in your pocket at a moment’s notice.
A remarkably covert, elegant, deceptive marked deck.
Between the lines of the Players design, a mystery resides. The cards hide a secret so profound - it could influence every performance you make as a magician, or at the card table.
To a casual observer, nothing is out of the ordinary. Deep within the design is a marking system that reveals the identity of each and every playing card. With purchase of each deck, you will receive an instant video download with Daniel Madison himself teaching you how to break the code.
Printed on the highest quality paper, with one-of-a-kind Linen texture.
The deck is shielded by a premium white linen box, giving it a subtle texture. The back design utilizes such a small amount of ink that it makes Players incredibly smoothand durable. We kept things simple and true to Daniel Madison's identity and original vision.
Players are Limited Edition. Once our current supply of this white edition expires, they will not be reprinted. Want them? Order now.

A set of playing cards two years in creation.... comes to life
Executive is stripped of embellishments such as embossing and foils. It knows what it is and sticks to it, without distraction.
Each card was custom designed, and then designed again, to ensure that it brought forth our vision.

Curated by Ellusionist's own Chief Executive, these are playing cards born from a collaboration of designers - whose clients include Nike, RedBull and KidRobot - every detail unique and custom to the Executive brand - courts, indexes, a gorgeous Ace and sleek, simple box.
Executive is not the next move in playing cards. It's full Checkmate.

Hustlers Orange [Limited Edition - Not Available For Sale Worldwide]
by Daniel Madison
LIMITED EDITION ORANGE
It is rare that a limited edition deck is available for actual purchase - but we made these gorgeous Orange Hustlers available for two weeks after their initial launch. We printed only 5000 of the Orange Husters and no more will be created.
A NOTE FROM DANIEL MADISON
Limited-Edition Orange will be the last deck ever created in the Madison Logo Series.
When faced with the challenge of making a new Madison deck I wanted to dare to be different and do something that would take everybody by surprise.
Minimalistic and monochrome are two words that have become synonymous with my image and style and I wanted to change that with the Madison Hustlers; I wanted to take a risk and create something very much on the outside of my comfort zone.
Heavily inspired by the casinos of the 50’s and 60’s, I wanted to create something that wouldn’t look out of place in the original Ocean’s 11 film.
In line with the previous Madison decks, the design revolves around the M logo, which although appears four times in the design, you never see a complete logo.
I wanted something that would appeal to both gamblers and magicians - something that would have the benefits of an all over design whilst at the same time retain the ‘magicians-ally’ - borders.
To do this, I only placed borders on the sides of the deck and bled the design to the top and bottom, and within these borders, I offered a one-way system by offsetting the left border by 1mm.
I created a new Ace of Spades that hosted only the M logo with no Spade and the Joker in this deck is a new favorite, which of course, has a special reveal hidden within.
This deck represents change and the confidence to dare to be different. I am Daniel Madison, and these are the Madison Hustlers.
Madison Rounders Playing Cards : White
A deck of Pure Contrast
Every journey must eventually reach its pinnacle, and the White Edition marks the ultimate peak of the journey for Madison Rounders. A deck of pure contrast - angelic and pure white backs that belie the serious intentions of the gambler’s hand.
From the initial release of the very first decks of Rounders - shipped to all of our Black Club Members (with a personal note from Daniel) for comment before they were even released, through to Daniel’s personal stock of Reds, the homage to Brown Wynns and the Christmas gifts of the Rare Blue Rounders... the deck has been used and loved by so many top professionals that we felt the last in the series needed a full acknowledgement to honor its design.
No expense was spared in the production of the final edition of Rounders, giving the iconic classic the respect and completion it deserved. We demanded the finest stock that USPC could source, a thicker, luxury linen tuck box and precision foiling - a first for Rounders decks.
Pick up the final deck in the Rounders series today.
