Unbelievably perfect. Feels great in your hands and spreads really smooth. Just looking at the box makes you want to get them out and use them. I highly recommend these for your collection.

• 5

These cards have to be the most elegant and slick I have ever seen! They feel FANTASTIC, and the design is just breathtaking.

• 5

I save this deck for special occasions! They look just to good to use for practice. You can't skip these. Get them before they are gone forever!

• 5

One word for these cards, BEAUTIFUL. I have never seen a deck of cards as elegant as these. To make matters even better, they are smooth, thin, and handle amazingly well. As for the box, well, it pretty much speaks for itself!

• 5

They are so beautiful, and I am honored to have them in my collection.

• 5

These are theory11's BEST CARDS YET. Every magician only needs to use Artisans ONCE before they're hooked on 'em!

• 5

These are my absolute favorite cards. I never leave home without them!

• 4

The only problem with this deck is that it's so beautiful I don't want to play with them and ruin them.

• 5

Very, very beautiful cards that are great in both design and quality. It's not only an eye-candy for magicians and collectors, I believe even your spectators' eyes will sparkle the moment you pull out this deck from your pocket! These really do attract anyone and everyone even before you start any of your routines!

• 5

I just got this deck of cards yesterday and this deck is just so amazing! The deck box makes it that much more amazing and cool! It is worth it to buy this deck everyone. If you haven't bought this or are deciding if you should get this, don't think too hard and just buy it now!

• 5

The Artisans are beautiful!

They have an amazing looking box! Especially with the gold foiling that makes it looks so expensive, like royalty should have them.
It looks really nice infront of spectators!

• 5

This deck is awesome! Very antique - it feels like a Persian treasure. I love it!

• 5

You can see photos and videos but when you have it on your hands, the tuck box will shock you.
The contrast between gold and black is stunning and they have a crazy amount of detail. In one word amazing!!
If you play poker, perform card tricks or flourishes then this deck will increase your effects and style and luxury.
Excellent finish and they're theory11 quality, of course.

• 4

The first thing is that the tuck box is very elegant and beautiful. It's a rich black that's embossed and detailed with metalic gold. The seal sticker is a nice touch.
The cards feel great though the rest of the pips and court cards are pretty standard. The court cards have metalic gold ink to give them a bit of pop. I wish there was something more done to make the cards stand out though. The back of the cards are the same beautiful design as on the back of the tuck box. The only thing I would have changed here would have been to make it a borderless design. I think an all black and gold back would just be stunning.

• 5

Hands down the best deck I have ever used. I own a few theory11 decks and other carefully crafted cards, some of which would cost double or triple the amount of this deck and this deck ranks higher for me! This deck is is great, I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

• 5

I bought 6 decks; the design is really beautiful and very amazing. The back is beautiful and contains amazing details. I use them for tricks and Poker. Excellent finish and exceptional quality. One of the best decks to the world!

• 5

To start of with, these cards are one of a kind. Yes you may think that they are just an offset of the Monarchs but the design has such a large feeling of depth and almost a too good to use quality. Most certainly my favorite deck.

• 4

Good deck of cards. My favorite part is the box. Nicest box ever. Only thing is the front of the cards are too normal. If the court cards and or the pips were at least a little more customized, this would be an easy 5 star deck, but still an awesome deck nonetheless. It handles awesomely and is a great product!

• 4

Looks amazing. When I look at them all I can think is LUXURY. The embossing on the box is just brilliant. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because of their handling. In my opinion, it's not as good as the Monarchs or Rebels and the gold on the cards themselves is very faint compared to what I expected. But overall, outstanding deck.

• 5

Quite honestly this is the greatest deck in the history of history. My friend ordered these for me from theory11. Got them just recently. The deck is beautiful.

Never seen a deck or box quite like this. Fans like a dream and looks great. Even a card haters eyes will pop over these. This deck will not disappoint. BUY THEM NOW! You'll love them.

• 5

The box looks very good. It's worth the money and the wait to arrive from the USA. Best card only on theory11.

• 5

If a deck of cards could be TOO elaborate and luxurious, this deck would be it. I am going to come out and say that this is the most incredible looking box I have EVER seen. The gold foil on the black box literally makes it look like you are holding priceless treasure, and the red tax stamp is a great finish.

The cards themselves look nearly as good as the box. The gold is there, yet doesn't pop nearly as much as the box does. I love the standard court cards and the ace of spades although the jokers were a little plain for my liking. This deck handles great and stands up to wear and tear very well. Long story short, get this deck immediately.

• 4

A truly beautiful deck of cards! The only downside is that they are almost too luxurious.

• 5

Truly a masterpiece. The box utilizes a fine foil design that really sends an elegant vibe. It's not a deck box that screams, "Look I'm shiny!" It sends a much more refined and reserved message. This deck is class itself and elevates every effect performed with them.

• 4

When I first opened the package from t11, this deck immediately caught my eye. The box is absolutely stunning, especially the back. The black box makes the gold foiling pop so beautifully. The cards themselves are equally stunning, although the gold doesn't pop quite as well on the white cards. I like that there aren't custom court cards, other than the fact that the colors of the court cards have gold in them. I do wish that the jokers were a little better, they are very plain. Definitely buy this deck.

• 4

Another t11 quality deck. The box is magnificent and couldn't be better. The back design is amazing, as usual, and they look especially good in my hands for some reason. The ace of spades is an excellent showpiece and reflects the deck's style. Handling is always great from t11. The only downside is the lack of custom faces but that I can live with. Great deck.

• 5

This deck is so amazing. There's nothing bad to say! I have a brick of these and they're just amazing.

• 5

Amazing box. Amazing stock. Amazing everything! Get this now!

• 4

The Artisan deck box is a thing of wonder and beauty. The back design of the cards is equally striking in gold and black. The faces of the cards are somewhat disappointing, as they are standard Bicycle deck faces. Overall a flashy deck sure to get some notice.

• 5

The deck is AMAZING!!!!
Love the black-gold embossed box and I love the cards.
The only thing I had a problem with was that it took me about five minutes to get the cellophane off of the box, a minute to open the box, and another few minutes to take off the cellophane on the cards; but boy was it worth it.

• 4

The back design is truly AMAZING and the ace of spades is a beaut, but the front of the cards are just like Bicycles. Overall, very good and the handling is great as well; 4/5.

• 4

The box is AMAZING! But the quality is so so! You need to have one of these decks.

• 5

This is an outstanding deck and there was obviously a lot of time and talent involved in creating it.
After purchasing my first deck, I had to buy 2 more because I knew I would never open the first. It was just too beautiful to open.

• 4

The Artisans look very luxurious, but only the box and the back design of the cards do. The faces of them are standard like the Tally's or the Bicycles. It would look much better with some other faces, especially the court cards. The handling and feel of this deck is really nice. So overall: 4/5

• 4

Very stylish! The only thing that makes the deck a bit unoriginal are the court cards. They are too standard in this luxury deck.

• 5

So far, the best deck!!! I could never ask for any thing better than this deck!

• 5

I got these today, and I have to say that these cards are definitely one of the most elegant decks I've ever seen. They handle great after a bit of use and the only con is that they are very slippery when they come out, but that is no reason not to pick these cards up.

• 5

Genuinely the most beautiful decks I have come across and the handle way better than ellusionist decks.

• 5

I cannot believe the amount of detail these decks have! The box is a thing to behold. NONE of the pictures do it true justice!

• 5

I am legally blind so I tend to use jumbo index bicycle cards. I can't read regular bicycle cards. The contrasting clarity of the faces makes these workable for me. This is the first time that I am in love with a deck of cards. Spectators have asked me if these are normal cards that they can buy somewhere - and I just say: theory11.com

• 5

La boite est vraiment magnifique!!!!! Une pure merveille.
Les cartes sont trés belle egalement. Vraiment à avoir dans sa collection!!!!

• 5

I think these cards are absolutely amazing! And the tuck box is just perfect with all this gold foil! A must for everyone.

• 4

Great deck. The cards feel great and the AoS is AMAZING!! The tuck box looks like nothing else I've ever seen!! I bought it because of the collectors box!!! A must have for any collector!

• 5

I am by no means a cardist, but this is a very nice looking and handling deck.

• 5

Handles like a dream. Looks amazing. The perfect deck!

• 5

These cards are awesome! The box is unbelievably detailed! Great job!

• 5

Love the smell as well as the design. That is why I've ordered six Collector's Edition.

• 5

I just got these in the mail and couldn't help but to sit there with my mouth open and eyes wide for a second. Awesome deck!

• 5

Probably the best collector's item for a deck of cards FOR a magician to display in their home. A REAL conversation starter too. One of the most elegant and classy items in magic to date.

• 4

The Artisans look great from the outside. It's all gold foiling and embossing, but playing cards really shouldn't be a luxury item. The Monarchs are also awesome, but the Artisans are, for me a bit too luxurious. They just don't look like playing cards, but an expensive cigarette box.

• 5

I absolutely love this deck; I've been using them exclusively since opening them. Buy them now!

• 5

Artisan is really great in terms of looking and handling. I really like that there are two layers of cellophane, one around the deck and the other around the box. Also the idea of having the date printed on the AoS is really cool. Suits every collector.

• 5

Get the collectors box!

Wow. The deck is awesome with the wonderful embossed metallic box we love but wow the box.

The box is solid wood featuring the ace of spades numbered with the production date. The wood is smooth and feels great to the touch. The inside is wonderfully lined in soft felt and has the foam insert to hold four decks. The foam insert is not removable and wonderful cushions the decks. This is a get way to get a luxury case for the four best decks in your collection.

The deck is wonderful and you will want more than one so you might as well get the wood case!

• 5

Wow! What a way to end 2012! A beautiful deck of cards. Awesome job t11!

• 5

2 Words: GET SOME!

• 5

Arrived today. Outstanding is the only word to describe them! Loving the wooden box also. The quality is excellent.

• 5

These cards are so sexy!! And the wood box; oh God, it's incredible! Every Theory11 deck I have bought is awesome! You should have these cards in your collection!

• 5

This deck is good if you like posh things. While in my taste there is a little bit too much gold, but I can see that every card and box are beautifully crafted.

These cards are for you if you want to stand out. Whether it is good or bad - it's a personal decision though.

• 4

The box is truly fascinating. I only got 1 deck and I'm sure I'll never be able to open it for fear of possibly damaging the box.. that's the only problem I see. :)

• 4

I won a brick of Artisans from a Saturday Night Contest, and they are awesome! Not only do they make sleights super easy to pull off, they also look amazing at the same time.

The card box is spectacular! Great cards.

• 5

The cards are excellent. They are worth every cent. Thank you!

• 5

Just buy the collector's set. These are the most amazing cards you will ever handle. I'm not sure what else to say about these cards other than them being absolute perfection.

• 5

I reveived a deck of Artisans for Christmas. One word... AMAZING! The design and color make this deck the most beautiful deck. The performance coating and feel make this deck the best deck to use. If you can only get one deck of cards, get these. Best on theory11, and best around.

• 5

Not only do these decks look incredible, they also handle beautifully. The collectors box was a must have for me and they have a timeless design, combining an antique feel with modern touches.
A must have deck.

• 5

This is the best deck t11 has ever released. These have the best handling out of all of their decks.

• 5

Just received my delivery of the Artisan collector's box. The detail and craftsmanship of the box is worth the price in my mind and the cards are a bonus. Put them all together and you will have the most beautiful collector's edition box on the market!

• 5

This deck was worth every week of waiting. The wooden box is a real piece of art, and the deck looks awesome.

• 5

Just one word: AWESOME.

• 5

This deck feels amazing and looks awesome.

• 5

Got my wooden box now! It is perfect and beautifully laser-carved. The box is also perfect and super detailed, with high definition lines and decorations.

The deck is beautiful, I like the pale gold. The jokers and the Ace of Spades. I opened one deck and the Ace of Clubs has a wrong cut. The layout is not centered and the A goes out of the frame. You still get 5 stars because we know it's a Bicycle mistake. :)

• 5

After several agonizing weeks of waiting, my Artisans finally arrived and it was so worth it! The box is gorgeous, and the beauty of the overall package is second only to my Aurum playing cards. The embossing and the extensive amount of gold on the tuck case is ridiculous.

One might think by looking at the pics that T11 went a little over the top, but once you have these in your hands you realize that they pulled it off like champs! Way to go T11! I guess being forced to fold 5,000 decks by hand means quality control is a must.

• 5

Absolutely beautiful!

• 4

The Artisans look great from the outside. It's all gold foiling and embossing, but playing cards really shouldn't be a luxury item. The Monarchs are also awesome, but the Artisans are, for me a bit too luxurious. They just don't look like playing cards, but an expensive cigarette box.

• 5

This deck is really good.

• 5

The decks and box finally arrived today, and THEY ARE AWESOME!

• 4

These handle and look awesome.
Only problem is that they are too beautiful for me to want to use them.

• 5

This is what I like from t11 - unlimited versions of such elegant playing cards! Awesome!

• 5

They look amazing, I ordered them today and I can't wait to receive them.

• 4

Yes yes, Artisans are very luxurious. But luxury is not everything. The Monarchs are really good and they are also luxurious. So, the Artisan looks good from the outside, but what about the cards?

• 5

The name says it all. This is the best deck I have ever seen. I can't believe this deck is not limited.

• 5

Great design for both the deck and the box! Can't wait for my box!

• 5

Artisans is another fabulously luxurious deck put out by theory11. Sitting along side other greats, the Rebels and Sentinels, these Artisans are simply amazing. The box stands out on its on, and based on the quality of other theory11 decks, this deck is unsurpassed.

• 4

Great collector item. However, for flourishing they aren't as good as the Monarchs. Still, cool deck.

• 5

These cards are very elegant, and the box design is great to look at. Great job!

• 5

Finest deck in the world! Don't miss out.

• 5

WOW... Possibly the best deck I've ever seen. The card box is a work of art! Well done T11!

• 4

It has a nice Ace of Spades design to it. This is the main thing I look for in a deck.

• 5

This is easily one of the most exciting things I’ve ever ordered from t11. The beauty this exudes and power it DEMANDS is unprecedented.

I expect to turn many a head with this as I know the TRIPLE TAKE I performed when I first saw the previews for it nearly blew my mind.

• 5

I just can't wait for my collector's edition to arrive! They look very good and I hope they feel good too! Good job theory11.

• 4

Yes yes, Artisans are very luxurious. But luxury is not everything. The Monarchs are really good and they are also luxurious. So, the Artisan looks good from the outside, but what about the cards?

• 5

These cards are amazing. They show luxury and distinction. The design is beautiful and unique. These cards are a masterpiece.

• 5

These cards just look so awesome and elegant. Amazing style and design. These decks are the best decks that I have ever seen in my life. :)

• 5

Absolutely without question the finest playing cards I have ever seen. Breathtaking. Wow.

• 5

The best cards - exudes luxury and authenticity!

• 5

These cards look simply amazing. As soon as I saw them, I knew I need a pack. I am still deciding whether I will use them or just keep them on a shelf for display.

• 5

These cards look amazing. Ordered a Collector's Set as soon as they were up for sale. Unfortunately, living in Portugal, I still have to wait around 2 weeks to get them. Can't wait. :)

• 5

I've always thought that 2 of a deck was enough to collect, one to keep sealed and one to mess around with, but this deck! I've broken my 2 deck max rule, mainly cause this deck is so beautiful and combines the black paper with the gold embossing so well.

The box is just OMG, the collector in me screaming out to "Add to Cart" right now, unfortunately have to wait a bit before I pick up one of these beauties.

• 5

Out of all the recent deck releases for Black Friday, this is the by far the best out of the bunch, it seems like T11 is the only company out there making quality decks nowadays and that's the reason we keep coming back for more. Keep it up T11.

• 5

Damn, these are sexy cards.

• 5

I just got the Collector's Edition. I can't wait to get my hands on that stunning box.

• 5

Wow - these cards are just beautiful! The engraved box is the perfect match to go along with them as well! Can't wait to get my collector's box!

• 5

Absolutely breathtaking. theory11 is in a league of their own. AMAZING!

The engraved wood boxes made my jaw drop. Beautiful.

• 5

These surpass Monarchs. Every collector should have one.
