Premium Playing Cards Courtesy of Neil Patrick Harris

by Theresa Christine Johnson on 12/12/2016 | 2 Minute Read

Get ready for something legendary. Neil Patrick Harris teamed up with Theory 11 to create an exquisite deck of playing cards that are a clear tribute to his passions of mystery, magic, games, and theater. The NPH Playing Cards aren’t just beautiful, though—for every deck purchased, $1 will be donated to the (RED) fight against AIDS.

“NPH Playing Cards are elegant, intricate, and visually stunning. Every aspect was handcrafted with relentless, unrivaled attention to detail. As with everything, there's more than meets the eye—with secret symbolism within the deck. Look closely and you may discover much more.”

Neil Patrick Harris art directed every aspect of every component, inside and out, in this collaboration with Theory 11. The result is truly stunning. Matte black boxes immediately give them an air of mystery, and intricate foil details feel utterly luxurious. Art Deco inspiration almost transports us to the 1920s, creating a memorable experience every time they’re used.

“NPH Playing Cards feature a custom Ace of Spades, Joker, box design, and modified court card typography. Even the INSIDE of the box has a custom, elegant gold foil pattern by Jay Fletcher.”

“For every purchase of NPH Playing Cards, $1 will go to (RED)’s fight against AIDS, which can provide more than 3 days of life-saving HIV medication. Every deck makes a difference.”
