The ELITES are a unique collaboration between DMC himself (star of National Geographic's CARD SHARK, BEYOND MAGIC WITH DMC, and Netflix®™ series DEATH BY MAGIC) and designer and magic creator Phill Smith - architect of the revolutionary OPTICAL MARKING SYSTEM. The new DMC ELITES V4 are printed on the world-class Phantom Finish - the cards will endure many hours of professional use, and all faces are standard for minimum scrutiny or suspicion from your audience. This new Sovereign Blue edition of the V4 ELITES is printed with a rich blue ink and features a beautifully embossed tuck box with an elegant art deco pattern within. For the first time the ELITES also comes with a double backer, to even further increase the incredible utility of the deck for all magic uses.
