Deck View: Mono-X Playing Cards

Distinct. Gradient. Mesmerizing.

Luke Wadey Design's Mono-X Playing Cards is an eye-catching deck featuring a black/white and grey colorway and designed to explore the usage of a single color and its tints. The distinctive pattern utilizing a variation of line thickness and grainy gradients have been used throughout, from the card backs to the custom pips.

The custom court cards also make use of the line pattern. Half of each court is made up of line staggering to establish patterns and shapes based on the traditional courts. The design of the mirrored card back, in particular, is brilliant! I love how the design of the varying line thickness come together to form a distinctive X. The bold design combined with side details on the face cards makes card flourishes look really good!

Definitely an incredible deck for cardistry! The bold design and the clever use of the line pattern enable for a fantastic illusion while the cards are in motion. The deck is printed by the United States Playing Card Co. and it handles incredibly! Available from your favorite Muphy's Magic retailer.
