These are The BUK Playing Cards - a tribute to Charles Bukowski featuring his drawings and sketches on every court card, the Ace of Spades and back design and two jokers.
This is a very special MADISON52 Entry.
Only 52 of these decks exist, so this is a first-come first-served offer.
Each deck will be numbered 1 to 52. There is also the option to have the deck signed by Madison at no extra charge.
Although this is a collectors deck, it is also useful to the Deception Artist, featuring a subtle one-way back design and two duplicates, which each host a hidden revelation...
The duplicate King of Diamonds features Buk relaxing, smoking and drinking by a flower. The smoke from his mouth takes the shape of a 9 of Clubs )
The duplicate King of Clubs features Buk writing on his typewriter. A 4 of Diamonds can be seen written on his paper.
This is second tribute to an inspiration of many - including myself and Team Madison - and I hope that this can serve as an introduction to those yet to discover Bukowski, or an honour for those who already love him as much as we do.
There was no better way to capture Bukowski's essence than having Buk design the deck himself.

Great cards at a fantastic price. Always a five star service dom team Madison. The free decks very much appreciated, thank you 🙏
Adored this book and I treasure it, it's special to me for many reasons, having followed Daniel's career and work but this special edition is a part of his story and life, so is very meaningful. after reading, it stands in my home as a piece of art too. I love Daniel's philosophy and thinking, easy way of writing that reaches my spirit. Thank. you and Mad Love always !
Anything by Madison is fire
This is a beautiful and creative extension to the Revelations series. A deck that handles as beautifully as it looks!
Fantastic
A nice addition to my collection with some meaning. Thank you
All 3 decks were great. On my wish list to get a deck of unsigned cards to use on a regular basis. Team Madison was great. I had a small issue with the order. The team responded quickly and replaced the item. I received it just a couple days latter. Thank you Daniel and Team Madison. I will order again and again. You are one of the best companies that I've ever seen. Thank you again.

I love my new deck of card. I will be buying more in the future.
Fantastic service fantastic cards
The holographic finish is my favorite on the Acolytes. So happy I was able to get more than one. Grab them while you can if it’s not already too late.
You don’t know what you’re missing. Just do it. You’re senses will thank you.
Another amazing unique deck.
Very robust card. Excellent for faro shuffle practice and perfect for deceptive sleights.
great deck beautifully put together
Cool designs but the stock and paper quality is awful. Way to expensive for a bad product
Hi Beau. We are sorry you feel this way about the BUK deck, and sorry you felt you needed to try and shame the deck across a social media plaform. As per our email to you, this wasnt a deck designed for the masses, or to be routinely used, rather it is a collectors deck to reflect the Bukowski books of that era in terms of paper and honoring his famous doodled drawings. Our M52 decks are collectible decks, generally purcahsed to be admired rather than flourished.
