Cartamundi USA - Copag 310

After two years of development in close collaboration with expert magicians and cardists, we are proud to present COPAG 310.

The cards

COPAG 310 playing cards are manufactured using the exclusive TRUE LINEN B9 FINISH for longevity and supreme handling. This finish is the result of intense R&D and more than 300 prototypes, tried and tested. The soft but springy nature of the cards and the smoothness of handling lie in a carefully constructed balance between stock, coating, linen finish and cutting – altogether enabling the perfect sleight and the ultimate flourish. Tailored to your needs.

COPAG 310 – for magic and cardistry

For magic…

COPAG 310 is tailored for magicians and their craft. The deck is standard poker size and ready to use straight out of the box, and it includes two identical jokers, a double-backer and a blank face – opening up the possibility to perform an even greater variety of routines. Furthermore, the deck has standard faces and a classic-looking back design, and it comes in the standard colours of red and blue – all to ensure that the cards are easy for your audience to read and cause as little suspicion as possible. This is further aided by the fact that COPAG is a well-renowned and respected poker brand.

Besides the standard deck, Cartamundi continues to add new magical members to the COPAG 310 family – so far, four different trick decks have been released, including a Svengali deck and a Stripper deck, along with the first edition in an ongoing series of COPAG 310 gaff decks. For more info on trick decks and contents of the gaff decks, visit the COPAG 310 website.

COPAG 310 – GAFF I

…and for cardistry

The TRUE LINEN B9 FINISH has already made a name for itself in the cardistry community, with expert cardists especially applauding its high durability and amazing handling. For this reason, we have now released COPAG 310 ALPHA, especially developed for cardists and cardistry. With a simple geometric design and borderless, one-way backs and faces, COPAG 310 ALPHA opens up for a multitude of combinations – an ideal companion for cardists in their never-ending journey towards new flourishes and perfect formations.

COPAG 310 ALPHA – made especially for cardistry

The number

We could state that 310 is bound to 3/10 – October 3 rd – which is in fact the very date that TRUE LINEN B9 FINISH went into production for the first time. Others might think that 310 holds a reference to Ancient Greek numerology, while magicians will probably tell you that 310 refers to 31/10, World Magic Day. But what does 310 mean to you? What is your story?

Emperor Playing Cards (Single Deck)


The most beautiful penguin playing cards we've ever seen. Designed by famed illustrator Mark Stutzman. First edition will never be printed again. VERY LIMITED EDITION.

FREE SHIPPING TO THE UNITED STATES.
Price: $9.95

+click to enlarge

When we decided to create a timeless deck that represents our brand at Penguin, we knew there were only a few must-haves. First, it had to be the EMPEROR. The most majestic of all penguins, the emperor penguin has a distinct, classic, and iconic look.

Our other must-have was a world-class artist. We sought out none other than Mark Stutzman to tackle the job. Mark has designed playing cards and posters for David Blaine, and even designed the iconic Elvis stamp for the US postal service. We couldn't be more delighted with the amazing work that Mark has done on this deck of cards.

BACK

The back design is the most intricate we've ever produced. Meticulously illustrated, the design features penguins galore.

We have sliding penguins, marching penguins, and our featured performer penguin to give a nod to the deck's magical roots.

Snowflakes and detailed scrollwork complete the look. The back design is rotationally symmetrical so it can be used for magic tricks, card games, and more.

ACE

The most powerful penguins for the most powerful card in the deck. Our custom Ace of Spades is simply beautiful. It features two penguins rising up from the icy waters, the tips of their beaks meeting at the apex. To say that we LOVE this design is an understatement.

JOKER

Our joker is represented by the delightful rockhopper penguin. The feather crests on a rockhopper's head give it a jester-like quality that we knew would be the perfect fit for the joker. Impeccably illustrated by Mr. Stutzman, this is a joker that you won't want to leave out of the deck. Each deck has 2 identical joker cards.

TUCK BOX

Beautiful cards deserve a beautiful box. The front of the box features a modified and more ornately decorated version of the performer penguin. Standing in the night sky surrounded by icy mountains, he is standing proud, declaring to the world that he is the EMPEROR.

The back of the box features the design of the card back at actual size. This is a classic touch that we know will be especially appreciated by card magicians.

The box is topped off with a foil seal that features our Emperor Spade design. The Unmarked Decks have a Silver foil seal, the Marked decks have a Gold foil seal. The Special Edition Decks (Only available in the 2-deck Collector's Set) have an individually-numbered Silver foil seal.

MATERIALS

The Emperor deck has been printed to perfection by the Expert Playing Card Company on a classic stock & finish. This is the same quality we have used on our Woodlands and Composition Decks, which feel terrific and offer ultra smooth handling. Expert is known for delivering precise registration, which is a MUST for a design with borders as thin as the ones on Emperor. The silky edges are a delight to hold whether you're a faro-shuffling magician, a quick-cutting cardist, or an at-home game player.

In addition to the Standard version, we have also created a MARKED version of the deck. Each back design hides a secret code that allows you to identify the suit & value of the card at a glance. Perfectly hidden but easy to learn, the marked Emperor deck is a powerful magical tool. It is intended for entertainment purposes only, and should not be used for gambling or cheating.

•Designed by Mark Stutzman
•Gorgeous custom Back design & Ace of Spades
•Duplicate custom Jokers
•Custom Tuck Box with foil seal
•Printed by EPCC with Classic stock/finish
•Available in Unmarked and Marked versions
•Collector's Set, Coin, Pin, and Art Prints also available

Conceived by Kevin Reylek, designed by world-renowned artist Mark Stutzman (Split Spades, Whispering Imps) and produced by Penguin Magic with printing by the Expert Playing Card Company.

Reviews for "Beyond the Deck: Expanding the Penguin Magic Playing Card Universe through Merchandise and Accessories"

1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I purchased the Penguin Magic playing cards and was extremely disappointed with the quality. First of all, the cards felt flimsy and lacked the durability that I expect in a deck of playing cards. Additionally, the design on the cards looked dull and uninspiring. The colors were washed out and the artwork was not as vibrant as I had hoped. Overall, I was not impressed with these playing cards and would not recommend them to avid card players.
2. John - 1/5 stars - These Penguin Magic playing cards were a complete waste of money. The cards started to show signs of wear and tear after just a few rounds of playing. The edges became frayed and the cards began to stick together, making it difficult to shuffle and deal. Not to mention, the design on the cards was cheesy and unappealing. I would steer clear of these cards if you're looking for a quality deck.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - The Penguin Magic playing cards did not live up to my expectations. The cards felt cheap and flimsy, making them difficult to handle. The design on the cards was also lackluster and uninspiring. The artwork looked pixelated and the colors were not as vibrant as shown in the product images. I was disappointed with the overall quality and would not recommend these playing cards to others.
4. Mike - 1/5 stars - I was highly disappointed with the Penguin Magic playing cards. Firstly, the cards arrived with a weird smell, which made me question the quality of the materials used. Secondly, the cards were sticky and did not shuffle smoothly. It was frustrating to play with them as they would often stick to each other, negatively impacting the game. Lastly, the design was unimpressive and looked quite generic. I expected better from a brand like Penguin Magic.
5. Lisa - 2/5 stars - I was underwhelmed by the Penguin Magic playing cards. The quality of the cards was subpar, as they felt flimsy and prone to bending. The design was also disappointing, with lackluster colors and unoriginal artwork. It was as if the cards had been hastily made without much attention to detail. Overall, I would not recommend these playing cards, especially for serious card players.
