Karnival Z-Ray Deck

The Karnival Z-Ray Deck is a loud, unapologetic slice of rock ’n’ roll attitude, created by magician Paul Zenon and long-time collaborator Vince Ray. Printed by the United States Playing Card Company on quality Bicycle stock, this limited edition release blends retro tattoo art, underground comic-book styling and Zenon’s trademark trickster edge.

We’ve only managed to secure one deck, so once it’s gone, it’s gone.

The deck is packed with character. The Aces, Jokers and all court cards are fully customised with bold, illustrated designs, while the pip cards keep a more traditional layout to maintain playability. The borderless back design looks symmetrical at first glance but hides a subtle one-way feature, a neat touch for magicians who appreciate clever details.

You’ll also find a blank-facer with a reveal worked into the back design, plus an extra reveal hidden in the tuck box barcode. It’s a deck that feels like an outlaw’s toolkit with a magician’s mindset.

A brilliant addition for collectors who love rare, alternative decks with proper personality.
