There is a beautiful new addition to the Bicycle Karnival range of playing cards - The Karnival Elite Deck. Featuring a slinky, edge-to-edge black redesign from renowned artist Sam Hayles, this deck is simply stunning. Looking like the kind of accessory that a debonair Card Sharp would employ, this deck is sure to turn heads. This highly collectable deck, (available in a VERY limited run of only 5000 units!), is certainly more restrained than previous Karnival designs. Indeed, the Karnival Elite Deck employs elaborate baroque patterning and delicate swirls on the back design and box. From the intricately designed tuckcase to the eye catching 'glow' on the pips of the spades and club cards (designed to make the values 'pop' from the card), this deck was created to be something that you would break out for a very special evening of entertainment...be it gambling, card magic or just plain showing off! The Bicycle Karnival Elite Deck has the USPCC world famous Air Flow Finish for superb handling and unparalleled durability. It also uses a thick, high grade stock which make the cards a dream to handle. Each Karnival Elite Deck features a standard red Bicycle Deck's '7 Of Clubs' FACE UP in the centre of the pack. A fact that some magicians out there just might be able to find some rather interesting uses for!
