https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/18046 Winter is a wonderous season and the perfect time of year to share the fun of magic & games with the ones you love. Winter Star playing cards bring the seasonal joy with their 100% custom artwork. Designed by Gabriel Costache, the back design features an optical illusion gift box background with an 8-pointed central star. Finely detailed linework gives the back design a classic, timeless feel. The faces are customized with vintage-style courts, but remain highly playable. Each of the aces has an enlarged center pip, and two jokers are included for use as wild cards. A double-backed and blank-faced card are included as well. Winter Star marks the debut of Penguin’s new UltraLux XT™ Finish. Printed on high-grade European paper, this new card stock is thinner and softer than our standard UltraLux™, making certain moves that much easier straight out of the box. Of course, the cards are just as durable as classic UltraLux™ decks and offer terrific longevity. The cards also feature AquaFlow™ Coating, our water-based coating that gives the cards excellent glide without being too slippery. The cards are traditionally-cut for easy table faro shuffles and are printed using vegetable-based inks. The deck is packaged in a durable custom tuck box with inside & outside printing, and topped off with an individually-numbered sticker seal. Only 3,000 decks have been printed.
