Theory11: premium playing cards with official licences

Theory11 is a US publishing house based in New York, founded in 2007 by JB Bayme. Its catalogue focuses on premium decks with a special tuck-box finish (foiling, embossing, hot stamping) and its own printing stock, known as Magic Finish, manufactured by USPCC. It is one of the most internationally recognised brands in the world of card magic and cardistry.

Theory11's best-known lines

  • Monarchs: probably the brand's best-selling deck. Black-and-gold design, symmetrical back, Magic Finish. Available in black, blue, green and white.
  • Artisans: classic engraving-style illustration, with highly detailed pips and back. Available in cream white and black.
  • High Victorian: Victorian aesthetic with red or blue foiling.
  • NYC: a tribute to New York, with an interior-printed tuck box.
  • Licensed editions: Star Wars (several series), James Bond 007, Avengers, Hamilton, Harry Potter. Collectable and discontinued over time.

How to choose a Theory11 deck

  1. If you've never bought a premium deck: start with a black Monarchs. It's the most recognisable, loved by magicians and cardists alike, and holds up to heavy use thanks to the Magic Finish.
  2. If you like cardistry: Monarchs and Artisans are the most-used for on-camera flourishes thanks to the symmetrical back and smooth glide.
  3. For magic and card magic: any Theory11 deck works for sleight of hand. The Magic Finish makes a perfect faro easier.
  4. If you collect: licensed editions (Star Wars, James Bond) tend to gain value once discontinued.

Frequently asked questions about Theory11

Are Theory11 decks suitable for playing poker?

Yes. They are standard poker size (63×88 mm) and hold up to long sessions. The difference with a standard Bicycle is in the paper finish and the premium look, not in playability.

Where are Theory11 decks printed?

At the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC) plants, the same printer that produces Bicycle, Tally-Ho and Bee. That's why they share many technical features.

What is Magic Finish?

It's Theory11's own paper finish that improves the glide between cards, making the faro and magic handling easier. It's similar to Cardistry Stock but with a slightly softer feel.

Are the Star Wars and James Bond editions limited editions?

Some series are and get discontinued after a while, but not all are numbered. Check the product page to confirm the print run before buying as an investment.

Want to compare with other premium brands? Take a look at Kings Wild Project decks or the more affordable options from Bicycle.
