In Autumn 2022, we ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for a new series of Butterfly Playing Cards, the Workers Edition. The classic Butterfly design is now surrounded by a white border.

Thanks to their versatility, bordered playing cards are still the main choice among magicians. They work great in sandwich and triumph effects and help conceal multiple card turnovers.

The foundation of the Butterfly Workers line-up are the Red and Blue decks. We printed these with Cartamundi on their slimline stock with a true linen B9 finish for consistency with the rest of the Butterfly Playing Cards.

The faces feature a classic USPC design with an adjusted color scheme and are one-way. All four Aces feature large floral pips in the center.

Every deck comes with an instructional card and a link to a 30-minute tutorial. It explains the marking system and offers ideas for tricks with marked cards. Every deck also includes a double-backer.

A total of 3,000 decks were printed for both the Red and Blue Butterfly Workers.

(For us—If you’re used to performing with or want to add gimmicked cards to your repertoire, a Gaff Deck for the Red and Blue Butterfly Workers is available here.)
