Odyssey Historical Themed Poker Size Playing Cards Uniquely Illustrated for Cardistry or Magic Card Tricks
Brand: TOGETIC
Odyssey cards is one of those showpiece decks that you want to have available for playing games, presenting your cardistry, or performing magic tricks.
The original artwork specially designed for these cards highlights the struggles within humanity during the rapidly-expanding world of the 16th through 19th centuries. It was a time when the landscapes of myth, magic, and legend were charted and mapped. Valiant heroes, fierce monsters, ancient gods, mighty tribes, and sea creatures were demystified and transformed into commodities of a global economy. As our world grew and the finitude of our planet was confronted, mankind's journeying outward ultimately turned inward and etched long-lasting routes through our cultures, religions, and lives.
There are many hidden details and symbolism to be discovered if you look closely enough...
These playing cards showcase rich and complex original artwork inspired by historical themes from the 16th through 19th centuries.
