Butterfly Workers Edition V2 Half-Brick and Brick Set

If you like the Workers Edition and see yourself using the cards regularly, you can get multiple decks for a discounted price.

Save 10% on six decks or 20% on twelve decks.


This version of Butterfly Playing Cards was a success among magicians, who prefer decks that have a back design with the standard white border. They are now available again with a second printing done by our friends at Room One.

They feature the same easy-to-read marking system as the first edition of Butterfly Workers, for which we adjusted the iconic Butterfly Playing Cards markings to accommodate the bordered back design.

To ensure you can read the marks in every situation, we placed them in all four corners. It doesn’t matter if you are right-handed or left-handed or how the cards are oriented; you can always find at least one corner to peek at.

The faces are standard with a small adjustment. We enlarged the center pips on all four Aces to make them stand out, so that your spectators can clearly see them even from a distance.

The back design and faces carry a subtle one-way design, which is yet another feature you can use in countless effects.


Why are these already available at a discount?

To be honest, we made a small mistake in the one-way face design. The Eight, Nine, and Ten of Hearts were not adjusted with the one-way feature. This means that if you want to use the one-way face design, it is best to remove these three cards from the deck to avoid any confusion during performance.

Other than that, the cards are perfect! You still receive a practical, workable marked deck at an even better price than we originally intended.

When you buy a brick (set of 12 decks), each deck costs just 10 USD. That is a very good price for a marked deck.

If you like the look of these, stock up. There are 1.000 decks of each color (red and blue), and they won't be available at this price again.

We will make sure that the next printing is perfect in every way. As Ondrej said, we only make mistakes once.


Each deck includes a double-backer.

For this second edition, we went with duplicate Jokers. They are the classic floral-pattern Butterfly Jokers.

The Butterfly Workers Edition V2 Playing Cards are printed on 300gsm Elite Stock by Room One. They have a traditional cut.


You will receive a 30-minute online tutorial, in which Ondrej explains how to read and use the marking system.

Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Nicholas ★★★★★

The price drop was a pleasant surprise, but the real win is how the bordered back keeps the design crisp even after heavy shuffling. I’ve used them for a few weeks now and the finish still feels smooth, not sticky.

Eva ★★★★★

These red ones handle far better than the first run, and the bordered back really helps me spot misalignments during faro shuffles. For this price point, I’m grabbing a second brick.

Abigail O. ★★★★☆

The bordered design on these is a nice touch—makes the back stand out more than the plain version. They came well within the price range I expected, and the feel is solid for everyday practice. Only gripe is the red gets a bit slippery after a long session, but nothing a quick fan can’t fix.
