Become a Madison Court Card - The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE Project

The Queen’s Advocate Project – Become a Court Card in a Madison Deck

Madison Cards invites collectors, magicians, and fans of Daniel Madison to take part in a rare creative collaboration: the opportunity to become a custom court card in a brand-new Madison playing card release.

The Queen’s Advocate Box Set is a unique two-deck project that will be created by Daniel Madison.

It includes a fully functional deck of playing cards (brand newAcolytes) alongside a powerful performance device known as the Queen’s Advocate Pocket Index.

As part of this special project, a limited number of supporters can become the face of one of the court cards within The Acolyte Deck. Your likeness – or that of someone you nominate – will be transformed into a bespoke court card illustration by renowned playing card artist Haris Arya, working closely with Daniel Madison.

You'll receive 6 Boxsets plus extras when you take part!

The Queen of Spades is reserved, as is the King of Diamonds. There is, however, a duplicate King of Diamonds in the deck that is available to reserve, along with all other court cards. 

“This is your invitation to become the face of a court card in a new and very special project; a deck of Madison Playing Cards and a devious device… The Queen’s Advocate.”
— Daniel Madison

What Is The Queen’s Advocate?

The Queen’s Advocate Box Set contains two complementary decks designed for both collectors and performers:

• A new Acolyte Deck – a fully functional deck of Madison playing cards, featuring hidden revelations and built for performance.
• The Queen’s Advocate Pocket Index – a special deck consisting of 52 Queen of Spades, each holding a different playing card. Together they secretly form a complete index that allows the performer to reveal any named card.

This ingenious pocket device allows the performer to carry a single visible card while secretly possessing the power to reveal any playing card named by a participant.

“The performer explains that he does not have his playing cards with him, but he always carries a single lucky card… The Queen of Spades. When the participant names any card, the Queen reveals it in her hand.”
— Daniel Madison

Because only one card is ever seen, the deception is powerful, simple, and unforgettable.

Become a Court Card

This project offers collectors the rare opportunity to become part of Madison playing card history.

Each participating supporter will become the illustrated face of one of the court cards within the deck. Using photographs provided by the buyer, artist Haris Arya will design a bespoke court card illustration capturing the personality and likeness of the chosen subject.

Participants may also include subtle personal details within the artwork, such as clothing, props, or symbolic elements.

“As all of my decks feature hidden revelations in the court cards, you can even have a secret revelation designed into your court card.”
— Daniel Madison

The final design will appear in the printed deck and the contributor will also be credited as an Executive Producer in the accompanying Queen’s Advocate Masterclass.

What You'll Receive

Each court card participant receives 6 Boxsets from the Queen’s Advocate project along with a host of extras. 

The 6 Boxsets are comprised of: 

• 6 × Acolyte Decks
• 6 × Queen’s Advocate Pocket Index Decks

Plus you'll get: 

• Your custom court card included in the Acolyte Deck
• The Queen's Advocate Masterclass (Once Filmed) 
• Executive Producer credit in the Queen’s Advocate Masterclass
  
• A Limited-Edition White Queen's Advocate Tool by Madison x O'Hare 

This exclusive bundle ensures that contributors receive collector copies of the deck in which their court card appears along with all the tools to achieve this deception.

The Court Card Design Process

Once your order is confirmed, Team Madison will guide you through the design process:

1. You provide several headshot photographs of the person who will appear on the card.
2. You may include special requests such as clothing details or symbolic elements, or a secret reveal.
3. Artist Haris Arya creates the first draft illustration.
4. You receive the design for review and may provide one round of feedback.
5. The revised design is submitted for final approval before production.

Once approved, the artwork will be incorporated into the next production run of the Queen’s Advocate deck.

About The Queen’s Advocate Masterclass

The project also includes access to the Queen’s Advocate Masterclass, where Daniel Madison will explore the ideas, techniques, and deceptions behind the system. You will receive recognition and “Mad Love” as an Executive Producer of the project, and will get downloadable access to the video tutorial when launched. 

The Limited Edition Queen's Advocate Tool (White)

As an extra thank you, you'll receive a special, limited edition version of Madison's infamous Advocate Pocket Index tool. Known as The Queen's Advocate, the device by Madison x O'Hare is white in colour and only a limited number will be made. 

Expected Delivery

As this is a brand new project, production is expected to take approximately 2-3 months from the date of order, depending on the current production schedule. If you require delivery by a specific date, please contact Team Madison before purchasing.

Refund Policy

Due to the custom artwork and design work involved in creating each personalised court card, orders for this project are non-refundable once purchased. Team Madison will work closely with each contributor throughout the design process to ensure the final result meets expectations.
