In the Chinese Zodiac, each year is represented by one of 12 different animals. The Zodiac also has a cycle of 5 different elements - Metal/Gold, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth. 2022 is the year of the Water Tiger.
Penguin Magic worked with artist & illustrator Panji Putra Prima Aji to create a beautiful, playable deck of cards that celebrates the strength and beauty of the Water Tiger. The card backs feature a front-facing tiger head with waves crashing around him, printed in a gorgeous blue.
The faces feature completely custom number cards, pips, and court cards with tiger royalty. The aces have enlarged centre pips with detailed artwork. Two different custom jokers can be used as wild cards in all of your favourite games, while two bonus gaff cards can be used for magic tricks.
The custom tuck box is made from a bright blue paper with a matte finish, with the inner & outer designs completely crafted from white foil for amazing visual contrast and a subtle luxurious texture. The box is topped off with a custom, individually-numbered sticker seal.
Water Tiger playing cards feature UltraLux™ Finish and AquaFlow™ Coating. This blend of casino-grade European card stock and water-based coating, with a perfect linen texture and vegetable-based inks results in a deck that handles like an absolute dream. The cards are traditionally cut with smooth edges that provide just the right amount of grip. These cards are soft enough to get to work straight out of the box, but durable enough to meet the needs of a full-time magician, cardist, or card sharp.
