Case Study Playing Cards by Dan and Dave

The Case Study playing cards series is an exhibition of playable art, crafted by Dan and Dave after decades of study and practice. Each deck is pressed onto premium paper and packaged as a collectible, offering both functional playing cards and a piece of artistic expression. 

Case Study is an experimental project that blends a wide range of influences, from cardistry, architecture, and design to philosophy, cinema, and Japanese aesthetics. 

Working within the traditional framework of playing cards, the twins deconstruct and recombine fifty-two prototype back designs, each anchored in their distinctive brandmark. The result is an object of art designed for cardistry, magic, collecting, or everyday play. 

These decks serve as a visual archive, providing inspiration and guidance for future creations. Each deck is a limited edition, numbered from 001 to 288, with a special signed, black-foil A.P. edition of just 12 copies.

Case Study Version 1 sold out. Version 2 and 3 still avaiable on Dan and Dave store for $30.
