Hello everyone!

We are excited to present Mantis Playing Cards, a brand new marked deck developed by Sean Devine and designed by Manel.

They are a fully marked deck with a reader-style marking system. This is actually the first time we are producing a reader-backed deck. The cleverly designed marking system lets you identify the value of any card with a quick glance at its back. The markings are positioned near the cards? border, making them visible in spreads.

In addition to the markings, the back features a one-way design, offering even more ways to astonish your spectators.

Pre-orders open on May 24 at 5 PM Prague time. They will be live for only seven days, until May 31. The cards are expected to ship at the end of August.

The decks are now available for SPECIAL pre-order prices. Save up to 20%!
  • One Deck - 15 EUR (retail price 18 EUR)
  • Three Decks - 40 EUR (retail price (50 EUR)
  • Six Decks - 70 EUR (retail price 90 EUR)
Every pre-order will receive a video tutorial from Sean. In it, he will go over the marking system and the one-way back design and teach EIGHT magic tricks that take advantage of the Mantis' magical features.

This is the first edition of Mantis Playing Cards. There will be 1.000 decks printed, with only 900 available for sale. The rest will be used for promotional purposes and Sean?s every day carry.

Mantis Playing Cards will be available HERE - https://www.butterflymagicstore.com/man ... ing-cards/

Let us know in the comments if you have any questions about the cards.

Pavel

Hello everyone!

The pre-order for Mantis Playing Cards is running at full speed. We wanted to give you a sneak peek into the tutorial that comes with every pre-order.

Sean filmed and released a performance of The Lucky Card, one of the eight tricks he explains in the tutorial.

You can watch the performance here: https://youtu.be/8bVBkrZMUFE?si=SvupaewHyD0L7gzv

Hello everyone!

Thank you to everyone who has already pre-ordered Mantis Playing Cards.

Sean wants to give back to those who support the project and pre-order the Mantis cards. So, thanks to his generosity, there are now two pre-order gifts!

We have already announced that all pre-orders will get a free hour-long tutorial with eight magic tricks.

Thanks to Sean, all pre-orders of three or more Mantis decks will also get a free electronic copy of his book Sharps & Swindles! This book contains twenty original magic tricks and six sleight-of-hand techniques. The printed version costs 35 USD.

This means that by pre-ordering three or more Mantis decks, you receive a total of 28 tricks! And we can't forget about the special 20% discount on pre-orders.

You can pre-order your decks here: https://www.butterflymagicstore.com/man ... ing-cards/
