Bocopo playing cards from Hong Kong, printed by USPCC: Magic Notebook, Masterpieces and Cardistry Fanning in stock. For magic, cardistry and collecting.
The Bocopo Playing Card Company is a Hong Kong playing card publisher that launches its projects on Kickstarter and has many of its decks printed by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC). It is known for its Art of Cardistry series and for decks designed for fans and flourishes. Here are the Bocopo playing cards we have in stock and what each one is for.
What Bocopo does
Bocopo designs poker decks and brings them to life through crowdfunding campaigns; several of them, such as Masterpieces, comfortably exceeded their goal. Its best-known line is Art of Cardistry, a series of cardistry decks with several colour editions. Alongside it, it has published decks paying tribute to magic, such as the Magic Notebook, and collaborative design projects.
Many of its decks are printed by USPCC, the same printer as Bicycle, which gives them a familiar handling if you are used to a standard Bicycle deck. If you want to understand how card stocks and finishes differ, see our comparison Bicycle vs Theory11 vs Tally-Ho.
