The France Deck is part of the World Tour Set series of playing
cards. The box is the main feature of this deck, with silver foil and a
classic art deco design. The cards have a simple floral pattern that is
neither flashy nor boring, but would blend in the sort of
turn-of-the-century cafe magicians and card players would patronize
during the period. More about the World Tour Set...
The World
Tour Deck Set is a presentation "trunk" of five bespoke packs of playing
cards, each highlighting a different country and culture from the turn
of the last century. The World Tour Deck Set is housed in a miniature
travel trunk, replete with decals from the far-off places to which the
cards have traveled, to be in your collection.
The set comes with
all five decks of cards in the series, and when all five decks are
lined up, they create a map of the world highlighting the five featured
countries: France, Switzerland, Mongolia, China, and Egypt. But the
World Tour Deck Set is more than just a trunk of playing cards: it's a
story.
The Great Ezra, a turn-of-the-century magician, traveled
the globe and sent these decks back to you, each one with a note. All
the ephemera: handwritten notes written on railcar stationery, coasters,
tickets, and hotel paper... are included, to help immerse you in the
spirit of the turn of the century, and how Ezra might have obtained each
special deck. The decks themselves are gorgeous, with iconography and
hidden elements from the countries, culture, and time from which they've
come.
All printed by the Expert Playing Card Company, the cards
have a durable, smooth finish ideal for shift work, gambling material,
and sleights. Each deck has an extremely limited run of 1500 decks, and
no more World Tour Deck Sets will ever be printed. Note: This product is
a single deck of cards. See the World Tour Set for the full collection.
