Cloud 9 Playing Cards

Cloud 9 Playing Cards are the brainchild of an insanely creative and talented magician and cardist from Poland named Ryszard Blaszczyk. While walking his dog on the beach one day, he took a moment to sit down and relax. After a few peaceful moments, he gazed up and had a moment of clarity when he saw a perfect blue sky with nothing more than two simple clouds drifting away. He felt pure calmness and happiness in this moment, like he was on Cloud 9, and immediately set out a to capture this emotion in a deck of cards that can be shared with magicians and cardists alike.

Those two clouds appear again on the playful blue back design of Cloud 9 Playing Cards, a fully-customized deck of cards that features delightfully reimagined faces and playful pips—especially the balloon Aces. The blue from the backs is also used as the core color of the Clubs and Spades, while the red suits have been replaced with a pleasant rose color to create a charming aesthetic.

This limited run debut deck from DifferentDecks is printed on premium crushed Bee stock by the United States Playing Card Company. It is the ideal companion for cardistry and card magic, especially when you consider every deck also comes tucked into a lovely matching card case with identical jokers, a double-backer, a special gaff card and a few other secrets that are waiting to be uncovered.
