Born from the idea of combining a minimal artistic style with detailed deck designs from past decks.

Modern and beautiful with a classic aesthetic, Black Roses are understated in appearance and therefore do not attract too much attention, making them the perfect companion for street magic and performances.

Originally released in 2017, the back design is intricate yet leaves empty space around a central focal point; creating interest without the need for overwhelmingly excessive and unnecessary line art. Bicycle-style court and pip cards are tastefully modified with subtle adaptations, that do not compromise the classic look and feel.

Subsequent editions were built on these foundations and featured minor design alterations such as the inclusion of metallic inks and changes to court card personas. The White Gold Edition includes designer, Daniel Schneider's closest family members and also included a subtle gaff card adjustment that enabled you to magically move one of the roses from the middle of the back design to the corner of the card.
