VICTORIAN ROOM Playing Cards

He was a man of magic and mystery, a man who passed through the casinos and drawing rooms of the Edwardian Era leaving nothing more than his reputation and his name: Arthur Victoria, better known as “Ace.” His legerdemain, cardistry, and custom decks dazzled wherever he went, but his secrets followed him to the grave—until now.

Working from Victoria’s recently re-discovered diaries, designers Rudy Faber and Edo Huang have painstakingly restored and updated his brilliant designs for a modern audience. Perfect for cardists, magicians, or card players who simply like a little flash in their games, this deck is every bit as dazzling today as it was a hundred years before. The backs feature an intricate pattern of roses and scrollwork centered on a sundial, while the custom jokers feature Ace Victoria’s legendary signature.
