Original deck developed by magician Sean Devine, Mantis Playing Cards is proudly produced by Butterfly Playing Cards and designed by Manel. A deck created for magic, it is inspired by classic designs from the 19th and 20th centuries, and adopted the elusive mantis! - as there was an urban legend that says: "When you see a mantis, beware of smoke and mirrors." The back design is created as close towards a vintage feel. To complete it, the Courts are illustrated as those in 1885 Bicycle decks: redrawn and perfected by Daniel Schneider - the blue colors are substituted with the same green as the backs. The Ace of Spades feature a beautiful illustration of mantis within the enlarged Spade pip. The Jokers feature identical illustration of the titular insect. The deck is marked: there are three ways that you can use to use this deck as your magic tool. Also, the deck comes in Si Stebbins stack.
