EXCLUSIVE First Look at Ellusionist's Pioneers Playing Cards

Earlier this week, Ellusionist teased their brand new deck, PIONEERS on Instagram (@ellusionist). The images generated quite a buzz with over 320 comments! The Pioneers deck is a celebration of exploration, scientific discovery, and innocent curiosity from a bygone era. These beautiful decks are fully custom, inside and out. 

From the distinctive deck seal to the impeccable pips. Every detail and line on the tuck, backs, aces, and jokers was painstakingly hand-drawn by renowned playing card artist Oban Jones.

The back design is a celebration of the 1893 World's Fair. A 600-acre spectacle that commemorated the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival to the new world.

On the back is a lady of liberty, with a phoenix at her feet. In her left hand is the flag of the United States - in her right is the lesser-known but equally poignant flag of Chicago. 

The tuck box is constructed of exquisite laid card, capturing the texture of period-accurate paper. Debossed in all the right places, to create a 4th dimension of quality. 

Also, hidden in the design are 52 easily-readable markings, to use for either magic, mischief, or both. 

The deck inside is printed by Cartamundi on luxury-pressed E7 stock for that crushed but durable feel. Available NOW from ellusionist.com for $19.95 for a set.
