Fontaine Royal Fever Playing Cards

Fontaine returns with Royal Fever, a playful and experimental deck designed by Arius Ziaee. Available in White and Colored Editions, the deck brings Fontaine's distinctive visual style to a vibrant take on the traditional playing card.

The standout feature is an animated card back, while hidden artwork is revealed under UV light, adding an unexpected interactive element to the deck.

Zany, unconventional, and unmistakably Fontaine, Royal Fever offers a fresh take on the classic deck.

Both editions are printed on Room One's premium 270g Sleight Stock, combining the bold artwork with a quality handling experience. Now on Room One Cards for $18.

Smoke and Mirrors (Mirror Flower and Water Moon) Playing Cards

Room One and Dan & Dave have teamed up for Smoke and Mirrors, a two-deck set inspired by the intriguing connection between illusion and the Chinese phrase 鏡花水月 (Mirror Flower Water Moon).

“Smoke and mirrors” describes the obscuring or embellishment of truth, while Mirror Flower Water Moon refers to something beautiful yet intangible and impossible to grasp. The two ideas come together in a collection that explores illusion, reflection, and beauty across cultures.

First released at the Asia Card Convention (ACC) 2026 in Guangzhou, the decks combine Room One's contemporary aesthetic with Dan & Dave's signature playing card design.

The set features Mirror Flower and Water Moon, each with shimmering cold-foil card backs, semi-custom courts, custom Ace of Spades and Jokers. The decks are housed in a distinctive light-up Infinity Mirror tuck box, adding another layer of illusion to the presentation.

Printed on Room One's premium 270g Sleight Stock. Available for $30 on Room One Cards.

Error (Laser Edition) Playing Cards by Dealersgrip

The second new release from Dealersgrip. Error playing cards returns with Laser, a striking new edition that pushes the series beyond its traditional black-and-white aesthetic.

Built around the idea that “a laser is light that agreed on a direction,” the deck features razor-sharp blade imagery rendered in striking blue holographic foil. Under changing light, the seemingly blue finish shifts across the holographic spectrum, creating a dynamic effect across the card backs and tuck box.

The deck introduces a warm grey foundation, replacing the stark monochrome palette of previous Error editions while maintaining its organic minimalist character. The court cards use a single colour matched to their respective suits, adding subtle variation without compromising the clean design.

Printed on soft-feel stock for smooth handling straight out of the box, Error Laser comes housed in a matte grey tuck case with an extended flap and holographic foil detailing.

Error Laser is priced at $24 on Dealersgrip.

The NEW Sepal Orchid Playing Cards

 

First of 2 new releases from Dealersgrip! The popular Sepal deck returns with Orchid, the latest addition to its floral playing card series, featuring a single orchid captured in vibrant close-up photography.

After six years of keeping its flowers within the familiar Sepal frame, this edition breaks the boundary. The orchid's petals extend beyond the traditional border and spill through the card's notch, creating a striking sense of movement and growth.

The deck features vibrant floral photography, detailed photographic court cards, and a colourful gradient backdrop that gives each card a fresh, contemporary feel. The cards are printed on a soft-touch stock designed to handle smoothly straight out of the box.

The deck is housed in a full-colour wraparound tuck box with an extended flap, continuing Sepal's distinctive minimalist approach while giving the orchid room to flourish.

Sepal Orchid is priced at $24 on DealersGrip.

ANYONE Unveils Museum Playing Cards Featuring Classic Artworks

Anyone Worldwide has announced on social media their latest release- Museum Playing Cards, a new art-focused deck that transforms a standard 52-card pack into a miniature gallery of classic paintings.

The deck features thirteen artworks distributed across fifty-two cards, with each rank contributing to a larger image that is revealed when the cards are assembled together. The concept turns every suit and rank into part of a connected visual composition rather than a standalone card.

Among the works previewed are John Frederick Kensett's Beacon Rock, Newport Harbor (1857) and Adriaen Coorte's Still Life with Asparagus and Red Currants (1696), highlighting the deck's focus on museum-quality historical art.

According to their social media post, the first edition was released exclusively through the brand's newsletter last weekend. No price was mentioned in that post.

Virtuoso Paths Playing Cards Announced

After teasing the deck over the weekend, Huron Low announced the pre-order of Virtuoso Paths. This deck takes a different approach from many modern custom decks, focusing less on flashy visuals and more on the philosophy behind cardistry itself.

Named Virtuoso Paths, the deck explores the idea that progress in cardistry comes through curiosity, repetition, and exploration rather than chasing recognition or results. This concept is reflected throughout the design, with card backs that change across the deck to create a sense of movement and progression when riffling, spreading, or flourishing the cards.

Several hidden design elements reinforce the theme, including paths that merge together, interlocking shapes that form stars, and custom court cards featuring a symbolic ring at the center of each character.

Beyond the artwork, Virtuoso has placed a strong emphasis on handling. The team spent over a year experimenting with paper stocks, coatings, and cutting methods to create what they describe as one of their most comfortable and controllable decks to date. The deck also includes four extra "star cards" that can be added to adjust the deck's thickness and stiffness to personal preference.

Priced at $15 per deck, Virtuoso Paths is available as a limited printed-to-order release, with production beginning after the pre-order window closes and delivery expected in September 2026.

First Look: The NEW Virtuoso Playing Cards

Have a look at the new deck! This new Virtuoso (still unnamed at the time of writing) deck marks a philosophical shift for the Virtuoso series, moving away from outward spectacle and focusing instead on the quieter, more personal side of cardistry. According to the email newsletter by Huron Low, the new deck is inspired by the idea that meaningful creativity emerges through exploration, repetition, and curiosity rather than performance, the deck celebrates the journey behind every breakthrough.

Unlike previous Virtuoso releases, the design is intentionally understated. Rather than revealing itself immediately through fans and spreads, many visual elements remain hidden until discovered through use, reflecting the concept of gradual exploration that inspired the project. Individual cards offer only fragments of the larger design, with the full picture emerging over time.

The deck embodies the belief that cardistry’s most memorable creations are rarely the result of chasing recognition or viral success. Instead, they arise from countless small steps, experiments, and moments of intentional wandering. Through its subtle design language and thoughtful symbolism, this new Virtuoso  deck serves as a tribute not to the destination, but to the process that leads there.

Cardistry-Con Orbit V4 Playing Cards

The Cardistry-Con Orbit V4 Playing Cards (CC V4) mark a bold return, created exclusively for the New York Cardistry-Con last year. The CCV4 deck makes its presence felt with confidence and attitude, drawing directly from the city’s unmistakable visual language.

Set against a deep black background, the back design features metallic ink hand-style tags that pop with energy, echoing the raw expression of street art. Taxi yellow accents run throughout the deck, paired with inspiration pulled from the New York subway system and graffiti culture, giving the cards an unmistakably urban edge.

The matte tuck box keeps things clean and understated, while subtle marking and metallic ink details add both function and flair.

Printed by the United States Playing Card Company, the CC V4s are traditionally cut on premium thin-crushed stock with an Air-Cushion finish. Limited to just 3,000 decks. Available for $23 on Orbit Decks.

Exit Playing Cards by TCC Fashion

Taking inspiration from the iconic “Little Green Man” of emergency exit signs, TCC Fashion's Exit Playing Cards reimagine this universal symbol as a striking new design language for cardistry, magic, and play. The running figure, urgent and unmistakable, brings instant recognition and bold visual impact to the deck.

Inside, the cards themselves blaze with a vivid neon green that bursts under UV light, making every flourish or shuffle feel alive. Indices are bold and functional for smooth gameplay, while the pips feature the running figure in motion. 

When fanned, riffled or cuts, these animated pips create a surprising sense of movement, adding a dynamic element to every performance.

The tuck case shimmers with shifting green foil, glowing at different angles like a beacon in the dark. Available for $9 from TCC Online Store.

First Look: Patina Solids Deck

A new LotusinHand release is on the horizon! This drop introduces one of the most unusual and interactive card-back concepts ever attempted by the brand.

Each card is produced using a scratch-off printing process, in which a layer of metallic foil is stamped over the back design to hide a vibrant orange surface beneath. 

With every shuffle, cut, and flourish, the foil naturally begins to wear away, allowing you to leave a unique mark on every card through use. 

Whether intentionally scratched or gradually revealed through handling, each deck becomes a one-of-a-kind piece shaped by the way you play.

Collectors ordering 10 decks or more will receive a custom brick box, which doubles as a scratch-card surprise. Every brick includes a chance to win special prizes, including one of three Lotus #00 decks and the Patina Solid Uncut NFT.

As with past releases, NFT holders gain early access, opening 24 hours before the public sale (13th December 2025) on LotusinHand store.

ANYONE Unveils the Tally-Ho Anyone Playing Cards

Few playing card designs have shaped cardistry culture as profoundly as the Tally-Ho Circle Backs. Known for their elegance and handling, these decks... particularly the legendary blue seal editions from USPCC’s Ohio factory. They weren’t just cards; they were the beginning of an obsession.

That emotional history is what inspired Anyone to work with the USPCC to create the Tally-Ho · Anyone, a respectful yet refined evolution of a classic. Rather than altering the beloved design, Anyone enhances its performance through a custom black ink formula that produces a noticeably smoother surface and a tactile feel optimized for motion. 

The presentation captures the minimalist confidence that defines Anyone’s visual identity. The cards come housed in a double-back tuck, marked subtly with an A1 signature at the base. A blue USPCC seal closes the deck, a deliberate nod to the original Tally-Ho editions that sparked so much enthusiasm within the community.

The deck is printed on Thin Crushed stock, pressed for a slimmer profile and livelier snap perfect for flourishes, displays, and rapid handling.

This release arrives as part of a limited Black Friday window, paired with Anyone’s newly designed deck bag. The pricing will only be available for forty-eight hours starting at $9 per deck and $130 for the bag, this is the only chance to get these items at 50% off on Anyone store.
