Inspired by the art of magic and the grand stage illusions performed by the great magicians of the eighteenth century. This unique deck features thirteen custom backs that create a flipbook-like animation when riffled between the hands depicting the classic "Sawing in Half" illusion while an Orange Tree blossoms between. A marvelous feat of both illusion and design, hand illustrated by Ukrainian artist, Sveta Dorosheva. Other features include a custom ace of spades, two jokes and an extra card that can be made into a Thaumatrope optical toy. Housed inside a letterpress-printed tuck box.
