Deck View: Nicholas Arnst Playing Cards

Magician. Belgium. Intricate.

The Nicholas Arnst Playing Cards is an intricate deck printed by Cartamundi for Belgium-based professional magician Nicholas Arnst (@nicholas.arnst). The deck features custom tuck in a blue-red colorway, a stylized Ace of Spades and mirrored back design with intricate line work. Like most magician decks, the pips and court cards remain pretty much standard, which maintain familiarity and easily recognizable by spectators.

What makes this deck so special is that it is the first printed with Cartamundi's improved finish which was subsequently used in DMC's Elite Rouge, Butterfly Playing Cards, Cardistry Touch's ORIGIN and USAGI. The stock is definitely thicker and like all Cartamundi's decks, it is really smooth and handles beautifully.
