No Frills Factory Outlet / SG Kawaii: Theory11 Decks

Bicycle Guardians

This is what the classic Bicycle Angels look like on steroids. Never before has a deck of this quality and level of intricacy been produced. Never before has this much attention to detail been manifested through a pack of playing cards. This new edition features embossed, raised titling and the metallic foil logo emblem.

Produced by theory11 and manufactured by the US Playing Card Company, the Guardian deck takes elements of ancient scriptural art and combines them with a modern, industrial design.

This is shown in the heavenly chariot scene printed on the front of the box, and the powerful image of a Guardian angel printed on the backs of the cards. See the pictures to the right.

The Guardians piercing eyes stare down into the eyes of the fallen. His spear points as if to say, "Don't even think about getting up." From the intricate detail of the protective angels to the sleek color selection, this deck will draw additional awe to any effect, routine, and flourish. Every inch has been painstakingly worked on in both design and production to ensure the deck is truly flawless.

Printed on Bicycle's signature Air Cushion Finish, the deck allows you to perform and flourish with ease, and look frickin' awesome doing it.





Red Monarchs

In 2011, Theory11 released the original Monarchs. They quickly became their best-selling deck, and they ushered in a new standard for luxury playing cards. Now they are back; and this time, dressed in red.

Theory11 spent time refining the world's finest deck.The back design was treated with a vibrant, dramatic shade of red. They also upgraded the box, introducing the highest quality paper ever used on a deck of cards. This luxurious new paper gives the tuck a rich, matte finish — incredibly soft to the touch. Cards were printed on Q1 quality paper.

Sentinels 

Theory11 has set the bar high month after month, pushing the envelope with each playing card release from Guardians to Monarchs to Steampunks. It started with an idea born 30,000 feet in the air. On a flight back to New York City from Magic-Con, theory11 CEO Jonathan Bayme made a quick sketch on his iPhone.

Less than 24 hours later, the concept was sent to Hatch, an industry leading design firm in San Francisco, California that produces illustrations for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Starbucks, and Target. Over the months that followed, Theory11 refined the concept with illustrations prepared specifically for the deck after hundreds of pages of research on the history of magic, hermeticism, secret societies, and mythology. The result is jaw dropping - unlike anything you have ever seen before. 

The box is printed on imported paper 40% thicker than normal tuck cases - and has metallic accents on SIX sides. The art is embossed in 20 locations and coated with a matte varnish to enhance durability. Clean, elegant, and refined design. 

The first mainstream deck in magic that is composed 100% of original art - the faces, the backs, the box. And yes - even the court cards. Every single design element has a meaning behind it. The deck represents magic, the industry of deception, and the allied arts. Printed exclusively in Q1 quality on the casino web press at the United States Playing Card Company, under strict supervision from senior press technicians. They've been called "the world's finest deck of cards."

This new edition features an improved 909 Premium Finish, with the same critically-acclaimed design of the original printing. 




     Archangels 

Good and Evil. Right and Wrong. Light and Darkness. Archangels.

Inspired by mythology, crafted by hand, and ripped from the pages of legend, comes a new level of intricate design - the Archangel Playing Cards.

Showcasing a battle of EPIC proportions.

A juxtaposition of good and evil, the Archangels illustrate an epic battle of angels and demons. A close look at the back design reveals a tale of two opposing forces. The angels on the left, and the demons on the right - locked into an eternal stalemate.

Six months of painstaking pen-and-ink illustration.

The result? Simply epic. Archangels contain original artwork on the box, back design, Joker, and the Ace of Spades. Never before seen debossed ridges provide a unique feel that compliment the gold foil across the face and sides of the playing card box.

Made in the USA at The United States Playing Card Company on top of the line quality papers, stock, and finish. Produced by theory11 and illustrated by Tom Lane in the United Kingdom.
Eco Friendly. Archangels are printed on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests, using vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates.
