Real playing cards — wrapped around the brass tube and cast in clear resin — make a striking and instantly recognizable pen blank. We source cards from Bicycle, designer cardistry decks, and other sources, then cast them as tube-in blanks ready for easy turning. The pen that comes off the lathe shows the card's face crisply through the resin, making it a perfect gift for poker players, magicians, cardistry enthusiasts, and Vegas fans. Each blank's exact card placement is essentially one of a kind.
