Design

The faces are the standard ones recoloured, and the back combines classic and casino elements in an off-centre composition. The black alludes to the runways used by airlines all over the world. In this version the back features silver foil (metallic stamping) and clear UV varnish applied to specific areas, which makes the design stand out as you move it. It is the variant called “Unmarked”, meaning it has no markings on the back.

Manufacturing

The cards have a traditional cut, which lets you weave them face down and do a faro shuffle (a shuffle in which the two halves interlace card by card). The tuck box is made of a durable synthetic material, with spot UV varnish and more silver foil than the standard version. The print run is 1,000 decks and each one carries a perforated seal with its number.
