This is 53 Magicians by Mark Shortland

This deck of cards is produced from my original artwork, painted while working onboard cruise ships around the world.

Each card shows a different magician recognizable either from their costume or signature effect.

The paintings were produced in acrylic on a 20cm x 25cm canvas, scanned in High Resolution and the digital file used to make the playing card. The artwork has not been enhanced or changed from the original work.

My own handwriting and drawings were used to create the indices and suits.

The unique back design is my own creation and contains the name of each of the 53 magicians appearing in the deck. It is the same in either rotation.

The deck contains 56 cards; 52 playing cards, a joker, a picture showing all 53 magicians and two information cards naming each of the performers.

As an extra bonus, the faces of the cards are a one-way design. This allows for a chosen card to be replaced inverted, meaning it can be easily found after the deck is shuffled, as it will be the only card with the head pointing in a different direction.
