Peau Doux

In collaboration with Art of Play and Pitchford Entertainment, Media and Magic, we present this Limited Edition deck to celebrate the life and career of Richard Valentine Pitchford (1895-1973). Under the stage name of Cardini, Pitchford's flawless sleight of hand, effortless charm, and infectious humor garnered him the adulation of fellow magicians and international audiences.

Special features include a vintage-inspired tuck box, letterpress-printed with gold metallic ink and embossed typography. Custom tax stamp, ace of spades, and matching jokers depicting a silhouette of Cardini, illustrated by Wade J. Callender. Limited Edition of 2,500.
