With twenty years of graphic design and creative problem solving under his belt, designer, writer and magic inventor Phill Smith is perhaps best known for his work with Drummond Money-Coutts on the industry standard DMC ELITES playing cards.
The incredible Identity deck - each playing card in the deck has on its face a different personality archetype, a different iconic image, and a different background. The deck is rich with meaning, and perfect for combining visual magic with quick punchy personality readings.
The royals have as their faces the twelve signs of the zodiac, and the two jokers represent duality, being marked with up and down, yes and no, ying and yang. These layers of meaning allow you to explore the more esoteric metaphysical approach to magic in your performances, and to help you create miracles we have built the deck with a whole load of magical helpers.
The deck is marked with a unique Constellation reader system. The cards can be quickly and easily identified from a distance, at a glance, meaning you can always stay one step ahead of the situation. The system requires no decoding or working out - if you can see the card back you instantly know the card - but it’s hidden in such a way that spectators will never spot it.
The deck arrives pre-arranged into a Identity Stack - a powerful easy-to-use stacked deck system that is based on Lewis Jones’ famous memory deck. To help make the system even easier the backs are also marked with the numerical position of each card in the Identity Stack, meaning you can always quickly get the deck into stack.
In the age of audiences Googling tricks the moment they see them, Phil wanted to add a layer of insulation to the Identity deck, and although the original prototypes were boxed as Identity deck, you can see from these photos that the production deck has a different name on the tuck box, one that won’t even mention here to stop it from being Googleable.
To this end they are having them printed by USPCC in the USA, on their premium stock, with the world-leading USPCC linen finish
