In 1876, legendary cowboy and gambler Wild Bill Hickok was playing poker in Deadwood, Dakota Territory. He was shot in the back before he could play his hand... legend has it that he held Aces and Eights, the Dead Man's Hand.

Housed within a tuck case laced with gunmetal grey metallic ink, the cards are carefully aged to resemble those used during the era of Hickok. Ready to infuse history into any gambling routine or liven up your favourite card trick or cardistry flourish.

Once inside, you'll quickly discover the defining feature of The Dead Man's Deck... a bullet hole shot right through the middle of it, complete with a commemorative musket ball. For those who prefer a slightly more useable deck of cards, Vanishing Inc. also released an 'Unharmed Edition'.
