Cardistry brand Anyone Worldwide has collaborated with Chicago-based industrial designer Benjamin Edgar. Together, they created a conceptual deck of cards fit for the art of flourishing, Anyone Ben Edgar Playing Cards.
The tuck box is a standard glossy classic stock featuring a black and white checkerboard pattern all over. On the sides of the box are the two names who created the deck: “Anyone” and “Ben Edgar”
The card back design features a borderless checkerboard pattern of red and white. It creates a great visual on card fanning. The pips are classic, yet it has a slight modification. The Ace of Spades features an enlarged pip with the sushi 6006 logo of Anyone on the center.
The courts are blocked out with either black or red based on their suits, only leaving their faces shown. In the center of the color-blocked courts, there is the ad information – making them subtle one-way courts.
What makes this deck interesting is the indices. Instead of four sets of Ace to King, all the cards are numbered in order from 1 to 52, with 1 being A (as in “Ace”).
Still available on anyoneworldwide for $18. Get the deck while stocks last!
