Dealers Playing Cards (Erdnase Green) by Daniel Madison

Built for card workers. Respected by collectors.

Some playing card decks are designed to impress. Others are designed to perform. Dealers Playing Cards by Daniel Madison were created for those who live at the card table — magicians, card mechanics, gambling demonstrators, and serious sleight-of-hand practitioners who demand precision, simplicity, and functionality above all else.

Inspired by The Expert at the Card Table

The Erdnase Green edition pays tribute to the legendary book The Expert at the Card Table. First published in 1902, this iconic work remains one of the most influential texts ever written on card magic, gambling techniques, and sleight-of-hand. Daniel Madison selected the exact Erdnase-green Pantone colour associated with the historic publication.

The Hidden Daniel Madison Marking System

Concealed within the design is Daniel Madison's proprietary marking system. The markings allow knowledgeable performers to identify cards secretly while maintaining the innocent appearance of a traditional deck — a powerful professional tool disguised as an ordinary deck of cards.

Borderless Casino-Style Back Design

The edge-to-edge back design embraces the aesthetic of classic gambling-house cards, offering authentic casino appearance, improved visual continuity during performances, and increased challenge for serious card workers.
