Madison.cards is proud to say we have sourced and stocked this iconic deck.
But hurry - we have limited stock available.
Fig. 25 Playing Cards is a detailed tribute to Erdnase and the infamous Expert at the Card Table book. Not only do the decks include illustrations from the book, each deck is uniquely wrapped to look like a mini replica Expert at the Card Table book.
The cards themselves are elegant, having custom back designs with METALLIC inks.
Why are they called Fig. 25?
S.W. Erdnase stated that the most important "artifice" one could master with a deck of playing cards is the bottom deal. The M.D. Smith illustration for this invaluable lesson is fig. 25 Card Stock and Finish
The cards are printed on the highest quality Bee card stock as is used by casinos around the world.
The deck is cut using the "Traditional" cut method made famous by Richard Turner. This is the method preferred by professionals for the precise handling and shuffling of the cards.
The custom Jokers use imagery from the deck's floral back design, along with two of the most popular and famous quotes from the book (one of them regarding the bottom deal's importance).
The Ace of Spades: The shape of the "Spade" is modeled after the Ace of Spades from the "Bicycle Spectrum Playing Deck," which is also the Logo for the Spectrum Playing Cards LLC.
The Ace also contains copyright information and the company name using actual typeface from the Expert at the Card Table book.

It was an honor to be a part of the Madvice deck. The feel and handling of these cards are second to none. Salute to Daniel and Team Madison for producing these.
This deck turned out beautifully! Truly, a sanctum of ideas.
Every quote a doorway; every card a new story waiting to be written.
Inspiration becomes inevitable the moment they’re in your hands.
It’s an honor to be part of this project, community, and to leave a small stain of wisdom on the cards of MAD history.
The MAD Deck has been the greatest addition to my collection yet! Super clean design and amazing quality for such a low price! 10/10 Recommended it to anyone who takes playing cards seriously!
I’m really excited to use this and DM’s videos are great. I usually wear baggier pants, so I’ve been practicing palming from the device while my hand is half in my pocket and that seems to work quite well. Depending on my pocket size and shape it either naturally goes into classic or gambler’s cop.
I absolutely love how the Madvice playing cards turned out.They are both inspiring and unique and deliver a great meaningful and thoughtful vibe.The Madvice playing cards are quite literally a game changer when it comes to leaving a very nessasary and important lasting impression;whether it be during game play or having a family gathering and discussion of the many great quotes that are showcased within the deck.It is quite simply the absolute perfect holiday deck of cards and for me was a great experience and thankful opportunity to be a part of this project and have "The Ace of Diamonds" as a platform to add one of my long time favorite quotes.The Madvice project sends a very powerful message and speaks volumes that we can always be inspired in life...

Love all the different backs - such a unique deck
Buy this beautiful deck, it's awesome. It comes with a great reveal trick and a tutorial that gives you a lot of ideas.
Following the bottom deal master class it was great. I also liked that it was short and to the point (1 h).
Utterly in love with this deck. So humbled to have played a small part in its creation!
I have absolutly nothing but praise for madison card there cards are excellent qualty the online course are great. Lookforward to my future purchase.
Just got my hands on the Enigma cards and I’m seriously impressed. The feel is super smooth right out of the box, and the design hits that perfect balance of classy and mysterious — exactly what you’d expect from Madison. They handle beautifully for magic and card flourishes, and the subtle look make them stand out without trying too hard. Definitely one of my new favorites in the collection. Love both colors!
