Deck View: Abandoned Room Playing Cards

Magic. Ivy. Long-Forgotten.

Abandoned Room Playing Cards are designed by Rick Davidson for the world-renowned magician, Dynamo. This intriguing deck has been created for Dynamo's Abandoned Room show, an "underground speakeasy” for magic in London, UK.

The deck sports a stunning gold and green foil with detailed ornamentation on the tuck. The inspiration for the design of the Abandoned deck is strongly influenced by the location for the Abandoned Room show, a unique high-end hotel that features a multi-story wall of ivy. The mirrored card back design features ivy and a forgotten wrought iron door, setting the mood for a long-forgotten abandoned room. With the obvious focus of the deck being magic, the courts are standard design but redrawn and carefully refined. The face cards have been updated with attention paid to the clarity of the pips and numbers. The deck is definitely familiar yet superior in terms of design and playability.

Printed by Cartamundi on their B9 stock. The deck was made available at the Abandoned Room and online. The deck is currently sold out.
