Some of the most iconic and beloved playing cards ever made are finally available again—and they’re better than ever!

The original “Guy Hollingworth Playing Cards” took the community by storm when they were first introduced by The Buck Twins many years ago. They were an immediate bestseller that sold out quickly and have been cherished by magicians, cardists and playing card collectors ever since.

For years, the only way to get your hands on them was to trade or pay top dollar on the secondary market. Now, Vanishing Inc. is proud to introduce you to the brand-new “Guy Hollingworth Playing Cards”. This absolutely stunning, art-deco inspired deck of cards is near-perfect homage to the originals, with some much-needed updates based directly on feedback from you. And, for collectors, there’s even a limited edition deluxe collector’s box.

We spent more than two years working directly with Guy to reproduce these playing cards. While Guy always loved the original design, it’s undeniable that the borderless design made card magic and sleight of hand more difficult to perform. So, thin white borders have been added to make this the perfect deck of cards for all your favorite card tricks. Paired with matching jokers, a blank-faced playing card and a special quartet gimmick, this deck of cards is a card magician’s dream.

NOTE: No instructions for the “Quartet Gimmick” are included.

Customer reviews for Guy Hollingworth Playing Cards

Paavan
These cards are amazing! The design is minimal and elegant, the card stock is super thin and soft, making handling so enjoyable, and you can tell like the other new Cartamundi decks (Copag decks on B9?) that they'll last a lifetime. They're not great for faro shuffles but apart from that they're excellent. The box is gorgeous too.

They come with two jokes, a blank card, and a strange gimmick that I have no idea how to use. A shame not to see a double backer but apart from that a truly perfect deck of cards — I should have bought a brick!
Yohann
I honestly think they are my all time's favourite cards. Especially the Burgundy ones. Wow. In hands the feeling is priceless (I just feel like I hold the best deck ever produced in the world!). Grab at least one and you won't be disappointed.
Álvaro
First of all, the care VI team put on every order is unique, from updates on shipping or delivering, to packaging. And about the product, very high quality playing cards and a beautiful designed and crafted brick box. Everything you expect and more.
Josh
Never managed to get my hands on the original GH cards produced by D&D, so I was excited to see VI reproduce these. Not only reprint them but tweak them to make them even better. The cards now have a border! May not sound like much, but a simple border makes me a very happy boy.

Lovely design, handles like a dream, and will definitely become a revered staple in my collection.
Oliver
Finally we can have this amazing cards with the white border. They are very stylish and also one of the very best cards I ever handled. The crushed stock gives them a very nice weight as well. Definitely worthy!
Oliver
We finally have these playing cards with the white border. They are very ellegant and super nice quality. They handle as butter in your hands and it’s a very classy deck, just as Guy is. The jokers are great. This deck can’t miss in your collection.
Chase
These playing cards is an absolute masterpiece, the thin crushed stock makes them beautiful for palming, they shuffle super soft, and once you get these your class will go from cool to extravagant.
Gary
I purchased two of these decks one emerald and one burgundy and they are beautiful as the handle like butter they have a soft Finish with minimal design and what is great is that with each deck comes with the gaff cards that you need to perform the gimmicked version of waving the aces which is fantastic so don't wait just buy these and you won't be disappointed.
Latha
I have the chance to be the owner of the first edition…. But to scared to use it. Now with a full set I can use it when I want.

But more than a reprint, Vanishing And Guy improved the cards with à white margin, which is more useful for performers. And if you are a Guy fan, you will also get the quartet card

And the box set is magnificent and signed by the master himself.
Kimmo
I start by saying that these cards are not for me and I won't be using them. Despite that I recognise their quality and review accordingly. Guy Hollingworth is my favourite magician of all time so I was really keen to get these cards. I got the emerald ones since burgundy has been sold out for ages. I am not a fan of the emerald design and I can see why burgundy was sold out as it is a much better back design. The tuck cases are fantastic in both.

As for the cards, they are very thin and malleable, which many people find pleasing. I prefer thicker cards as these tend to stay bent after a riffle shuffle. I also cannot do a Faro with them. You also get a quartet gimmick card, identical jokers and a blank face card, which is very nice. If you have a delicate touch and like thin cards, this deck is absolutely for you.

  • Rucha asks: Is this marked deck of cards?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It is not marked, no.

  • Joseph asks: I purchased Guy Hollingworth's Emerald deck and it does indeed contain the gimmick card for his "Quartet." I was wondering, though, whether you can supply the same card in either regular Bicycle or Tally-Ho card stock, whether as a standalone item or as part of a gaff deck? The Emerald deck is very nice but I prefer to perform with either regular Bicycle or Tally-Ho cards. Thanx, Joe

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:This isn’t something we can provide separate, I would suggest contacting Guy to see if he can provide these

  • Benjamin asks: Is the 12 deck box 6 Emerald decks and 6 Burgundy decks? I can’t tell from the pics.

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Yes, the 12 deck brick box is a mix of the two colors.

  • Michael asks: Where can I find instructions for the Quartet Gimmick? - Is this covered in the book "Drawing Room Deceptions" (which is unfortunately out of stock right now) ? - The original booklet (https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/book/10) seems to be out of print.
