Last chance to pick up Black Crowns and White Arrcos!


This is the last chance to pick up the Black Crown Decks and White Arrco Cards, sold by the brick only. Don't miss out, once they're gone, they're gone forever!


The Black Crown Deck

These will only be sold by the dozen! No single decks will be sold.

Ever since we debuted the original Blue Crown Decks in May of 2011, people have known that they're something special. The popularity only increased when we released Red and Green versions to complement the original Blue Decks. Today we are happy to unveil the Black Crowns, bringing the Crown Deck series to a beautiful and elegant conclusion. This deck features our beloved back design, now rendered in stunning black and metallic silver inks. The Black Crown deck is sophisticated enough for the high roller table at any casino. The flexible, durable card stock and premium finish ensure that the decks handle like a dream.

For the box, we've taken things down a notch. Instead of showcasing our glorious Ace of Spades design, the box has a minimalist look. It's a solid black bar with an embossed silver Crown logo on the front corner. One glance at the box tells you that there's something truly special inside. The box is made from thick imported paper for long-term durability.


The White Arrco Deck

These will only be sold by the dozen! No single decks will be sold.

Arrco US Regulation playing cards have one of the most beautiful and well-loved back designs in history. Originally offered in Blue and Red, Arrcos have been out of print for a number of years. This special custom run of White Arrcos offers the classic design in a color scheme that’s never before been available.

No expense has been spared to ensure that these cards handle like a dream. We started with a pliable yet durable stock and added USPC's top-of-the-line finish so these cards handle just as beautifully as they look. We also built a special card reveal into one of the Jokers and included 2 double-backed cards for magic purposes. There may just be other surprises to find as well!


The Crown Decks

These will only be sold by the dozen! No single decks will be sold. We are also offering a mixed dozen of Crown Decks (4 Green, 4 Red and 4 Blue) for sale!

The Crown Decks are new decks of custom playing cards designed to evoke quality, elegance, and style. Featuring Arrco faces, with a Tally-Ho inspired design, the Crown Deck was made for us by the US Playing Card company with a BRAND NEW stock and finish process to ensure lasting quality, durability, and handling superiority. The result is a deck that feels as good as it looks, and will add a touch of class to your magic and flourishes.

There is at least one other UK user on here I know of - you AREN'T the only one.
Yeah, I know, I've seen someone say they were from the UK, but I can't remember exactly who it was. And with 5 minutes to go, I won't bother trying to look. Also, there's no guarantee that any of the other UK users will want to get any Black Crown decks.

YEah, the site is slower than usual which means there's probably a lot of traffic, but still nothing...

Yeah, I'm having the same problem as you guys. It takes about 15 seconds to just reload the page. And I can't see the decks yet.
I may consider getting a brick, if the price is right.

if they had just released the prices there wouldnt be as much traffic cuz then ppl that cant get em wont bother refreshing all the time. they screwed that up by not telling us a price. probably cuz it's high lol.

$50 a brick! That's cheap! That's for the mixed colours, though.

$105 a brick for the Black Crowns. No way. I mean, I didn't expect them any cheaper than that ($8.75 a deck), but still. I won't be buying them if they're only sold in bricks.

Total BS

I'm sure they'll find some way to explain it.. these companies always do

Yea looks like I will have to pass on these :( thats just too much for my wallet at this time. If anyone is willing to part with a couple of their black crowns for a fair price, shoot me a PM, I still really want some and it would be greatly appreciated.
