This is our NEAT Dearmer deck, or RED DEARMERS, as you please. x56 playing cards, custom Jokers, Ace of Spades, Ad Cards and Tuck Box. Designed in London, England by THE NEAT REVIEW, printed in the USA by USPCC.
x1500 decks will be printed. Discounts are available on Bricks (x12 decks), and we have a limited number of Uncut Sheets also for sale.
In 2021, we took Kez Dearmer's 2019 painting, The Alcoholic, monochromed it, cropped it, and mirrored it, and used that as the back design for our first deck of playing cards.
Kez Dearmer
Kez Dearmer is a painter, illustrator and 3D visualisation artist living and working in London. His writing, photography and illustrations feature heavily throughout the REVIEW and our books, and he co-created the DEARMERS playing cards with Alexander Hansford. Kez has been chief illustrator at THE NEAT REVIEW since its inception, and he is to thank for why any of the publications even exist.
Alexander Hansford
Alexander Hansford founded THE NEAT REVIEW in 2019, after printing a string of limited-run artist books to accompany talks he was giving to magicians worldwide. Across a 14-country lecture tour, from Vienna & Sydney to Beirut & Los Angeles, his books were met with a unique reverence by the magic community. Alexander's long-running collaboration with Derren Brown spans Derren's live theatre shows, including Olivier Award-winning “Underground,” “Secret” and “Showman,” to consulting on the card magic pieces for Derren's “Only Human,” which comes to London’s West-End in late-2026.
