One of the most unique uses of our custom printed playing cards have to be the cards used as tickets for the off Broadway hit show – Sleep No More at The McKitrick Hotel in New York City.
Designed by Patrick Fenton from Sway Space – these unique custom face playing cards feature a 13th card, hand drawn face cards – and an eerily avante garde back design. The extremely unusual custom face cards and modern edgy “pips” or suit icons have a strongly mysterious design and almost have the feel of a divination or custom tarot card deck to them. A photo of the decks is shown above.
Printed on 300 gsm bright white casino quality stock and packaged in a custom box featuring the same intricate card back design – the retail playing cards version comes with a black back design – while the custom playing cards used as tickets are printed in red – blue and green.
The show itself is a free flowing theatre experience – where the show goers move through the story choosing their own paths and are immersed in one of the most intriguing theatrical experiences in the history of New York City.
