Shin Lim has just released the White Regalia Playing Cards for pre-order on his website. The new white/gold colorway is the second edition to the popular Regalia Playing Cards series first introduced last year.
Designed by Nick Vlow, the deck is inspired by Russian art, specifically from the paintings on the walls of the historic Hermitage museum, the regalia back design is a perfect balance of complexity and minimalism.
Crafted for the magician in mind, the face cards have been designed to look standard (with the exception of the Jokers and Ace of Spades). Subtle changes, however, has been added to the court and number cards. Such as minor details like the stem of the spade, to the borders of the face cards.
The individually gold foiled cards are housed in a beautiful tuck box made from two protective pearlized white casings- an inner and outer cellophane wrap. Printed by in Belgium by Cartamundi on their true B9 finish. Regalia is available now for $14.95 on shinlimmagic.com.
