This commemorative deck of playing cards was designed specifically for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of FULTON’S Playing Cards as a companion piece to “Clip Joint 10” with an updated history and narrative companionship:
In the late 1970s the Magic Bar & Club known as “F for Fulton” was born. Los Angeles is known for The Magic Castle–but many forget that ‘F for Fulton” was a popular spot for many underground magicians- as well as the first place The Buck Twins tested the room for Cardistry as child performers.
Known for good times, smoky rooms, and their signature drink, The Sunset Blvd, this place was too good to last forever. Here at Fulton’s we have the last known supply of their house playing cards. Sure to be your favorite deck, “F for Fulton” -remember that.
This deck will be the FIRST of the CLUB 37 Series. Over the next few years, Fulton’s will be producing numerous decks that pay tribute to the origins of custom playing card decks. Exciting!
The back design pays homage to one of Fulton’s favorite decks (and magician), Tom Mullica’s Tom Foolery. Inside, the face cards are pretty much standard.
Limited to 700 decks, F for Fulton and other CLUB 37 Classics come housed in a commemorative in a burgundy colorway with a metallic gold tuck printed on vintage letterpress machines. The tuck is a “Fultonized” take on the original Custom Division Tuck used decades ago by the US Playing Card Co. Available now for $17 on fultonsplayingcards.com.
Also available is the F for Fulton After Hours Edition for $52. According to the product page,
This is the official CLUB 37 Edition of F for Fulton sold to members of this unique and bizarre club.
The AFTER HOURS edition is printed on deep black stock accentuated by metallic gold Pantone letterpressed ink. Sealed with the EXCLUSIVE Club 37 Seal. Limited edition of 150.
