53 MAGICIANS
Painted in Acrylic, 53 Magicians is Mark’s interpretation of iconic magicians instantly recognisable by their costume or signature effect.
The work was completed over a six month period while at sea on board various cruise ships.
The paintings were scanned at high resolution and transformed into a deck of cards. The back was designed using all the names of the magicians appearing in the deck.
Each deck contains 56 cards.
52 playing cards in a standard deck
One Joker
A Group Card
Two extra cards naming each of the magicians.
Below are a sample of the cards in the deck
