The company was established in 2013 by the talented artist from Greece, Lotrek, and his wife, Melania. He has designed three different and amazing decks of playing cards: Timeless Playing Cards (for RSVP Magic), Bicycle Butterfly Playing Cards (for RSVP Magic) and Bicycle Venexiana Playing Cards (own successful playing card project on Kickstarter).

Nathanael Mortensen created the Dragon’s Hoard project on Kickstarter in the beggining of 2013. Jonas Akerlund was the designer of the game. The project was funded and the game is going to be printed in November, 2013.
This is Nathanael’s second project on Kickstarter. He decided to create a Bicycle branded deck of playing cards which was inspired from his previous work experience with Jonas Akerlund. Four suits of these playing cards are dedicated to four different themes – Spirit, Nature, Technology and Sky. The deck is planned to be printed by USPCC.

Theory11 helped to produce a deck of playing cards printed by USPCC for a vintage, speak-easy type restaurant called The Rarebit. Playing cards were designed by J Fletcher Design (Jay Fletcher). The deck was supposed to be used exclusively in The Rarebit’s lounge. But Theory11 was able to acquire a small quantity for themselves (500 decks) and decided to use it for promotional purposes. To celebrate their sixth birthday, they are “giving away” Rarebit Playing Cards from now until next Friday (September 6th) while supplies last.

Today No Name Playing Cards make the headlines on this blog. I was able to get it from JP Playing Cards (find a 10% discount below). This is quite a mysterious deck of playing cards because it’s hard to find a lot of information about it.
In accordance with the press release walking Internet, this is the deck produced by Mloong Magic (China) in cooperation with Cards Dancing. The last one is the biggest Chinese association (more than 1500 members in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong) for the study of card tricks after Finger Dance. They produced the deck in April 2012.
The deck: 52 playing card + 2 slightly different Jokers + 1 blank card + 1 double backer. Poker size. 2500 decks were printed by USPCC (presumably Bicycle stock, Air-Cushion finish). Playing cards have custom pips and indices. Court cards are quite seriously redesigned Arrco standard court cards. The pictures of the tuck case are clickable:
