SPLAY is a collection of card flourishes compiled by Dan and Dave during their early studies of sleight of hand with playing cards back in the late 90s. At that time, Cardistry did not exist.

There were only a small amount of these so-called “card flourishes” in print, scattered throughout various rare instructional magic books. What we present to you here is a collection of some of Dan and Dave’s early findings in a single book, findings which ultimately led to the development of Cardistry.

Over 200 photographs by Brad Fulton. 20 classic flourishes. An outgrowth of Dan, Dave, Fulton & The Neat Review's love for printed matter.

An homage to the founders of Cardistry. Available in 4 Editions.

  • Standard Edition. Book in duo grey/black cloth with black foil block.
  • Special Edition. 1 of 500 Books in Midnight cloth with carbon foil block.
  • Deluxe Collector’s Edition. 1 of 100 signed/numbered Books in Midnight cloth with carbon foil block + exclusive SPLAY deck + SPLAY deck with gilded black edges and negative tuck + Brad Fulton Giclee print + two-part presentation box.
  • Private Reserve Edition. 1 of only 15  variants of the Deluxe Collector's Edition featuring a special certificate signed by the creators. Includes two SPLAY decks with gilded black edges and negative tuck.

Bought this after getting into cardistry, and it’s fascinating to see where the whole art form started—the moves feel raw and foundational, not polished like today’s stuff. The historical notes from the late 90s give it a real sense of place, and I’ve already spent an hour trying the simpler flouris

These are the moves that started the whole modern cardistry scene, and seeing them documented from the very beginning feels like holding a piece of history. The layout is clean and makes it easy to follow along with each flourish, even if you’re just a beginner like me. It’s a fascinating look at ho
