Stu Ungar was a phenomenon — a man who played cards like he could see through time.
A prodigy who rose, fell, and rose again, leaving behind not just a legend, but a lesson.
His story is one of brilliance and self-destruction, of victory and vulnerability — the eternal duality of the gambler and the artist alike.
The UNGAR Playing Cards were created in his memory — a deck designed not for the table, but for the soul.
Each card is a quiet nod to Stu’s legacy: sharp, elegant, and unapologetically human.
Printed in collaboration with The Ungar Center for Hope, proceeds from every deck go toward supporting the Center’s mission — helping those struggling with trauma find a path back to themselves.
This isn’t just a deck.
It’s a mirror — a reminder that genius often walks hand-in-hand with darkness, and that even the brightest lights can burn out too soon.

“There will never be another Stu Ungar.”
But his spirit still shuffles in the shadows of every great game — and his legacy lives on through The UNGAR Playing Cards.

I used these playing cards as a kid it's the first deck I learned to shuffle with. after my grandpa passed away I wanted to replace them in honor of him and when I saw Daniel Madison was selling them I thought to honor a friend of mine who passed who also collect cards I would purchase them here. I got set up with sign cards and everything.
Beyond the exceptional quality of Madison playing cards and the originality of the designs, it is the "Madison" spirit and philosophy infused into every series that truly sets them apart. And the TRIBUTE PLAYING CARDS series is a perfect example of this !
The MADISON PRIMER DECK is truly incredible ! The possibilities with this deck are amazing. It opens up a whole new dimension. And being able to choose your own model is simply fantastic ! I wholeheartedly recommend it...
Great cards. Unusual back designs may get a quizzical look or comment.
The excellent standard Bicycle Rider Back playing cards. What can I say that already hasn't been said about them. Great standardized cards to use for magic and cardistry.
I'm a big fan of Mr Daniels work from his amazing products including his amazing in-depth video tutorials, I'm a very happy customer i wish I had discovered his work earlier I am just a hobbyist, but i enjoy the learning process and entertaining friends and family. many thanks.
