We Are A Collective
Four Suits Co. is a creative studio focused on magic as a tool in theater, security, and design. Our team consists of sleight-of-hand and mentalism performers, OSCP specialists, visual artists, and product designers, with additional individuals and organizations working with us on a project-to-project basis. While our skills and backgrounds are diverse, we have a single mission: to share fresh, engaging, and thoughtful experiences of magic with the world.
Our team is currently focused on the following...
Creating unique, alternative, magical experiences for entertainment venues.
Consulting on show design and effect creation for performing artists.
Developing innovative structures of play for casino environments.

Performance
From close-up and stage acts at nightclubs and private events to filling theatres for our full-length productions, Four Suits does it all. With international performance credits ranging from The Magic Castle, SoHo House, and Black Rabbit Rose (Hollywood, CA); to Amaze in Tchaiovna (Prague, CZR), DEFCON (Las Vegas, NV), and The West End Lounge and Rogue's Magic Gallery (New York, NY), we make any performance engagement unforgettable.
Security
Well aware of the delicate overlap between magic, con, and crime, we offer our skills to those on the look out for the swindlers and crooks among us. We offer our unique toolkit to those seeking to protect themselves against physical, social, and digital intrusions, or hoping to secure assets and peace of mind in a variety of settings, from serious home poker games to formally established venues and events.
ESOTERICA
Respectful of the history and roots of magic as both performance and ritual, our team is dedicated to finding the unique and authentic meaning in everything we present. From Tarot readings to I Ching castings, we provide these services for enjoyment at events and private settings, as well as offering personal instruction to learn these skills yourself.
Production Consultation
Sharing our skills is one of our greatest passions, whether in our own performances or by developing the performances of others. We offer private consultations in a variety of magic, security, and design applications and have launched the careers of sleight-of-hand card magicians, mentalists, and occult practitioners, many of whom you already know.
Additionally, we offer our services to cinematic and theatrical projects, both as consultants on practical magic effects and as hand doubles for object and card manipulation. We help those wishing to formally incorporate magic into their projects, or those simply seeking to add an element of the impossible.

Negative Strippers
Produced by Zac Young
Negative stripper cards (sometimes called N’s or Neg’s) have been one of card magic’s most closely guarded secrets. Originating on the gambling table and superior to more traditional stripper card designs, Negative strippers are incredibly versatile. The work is so subtle that these cards can be freely shuffled by a spectator, even given a legitimate table wash, and afterwards you can still instantly find the four aces.
Machine cut for consistency and precision and sealed with both tax stamp and cellophane, these cards are an exclusive and powerful tool for any card mechanic or magician.
For shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or outside the US please email us for details. All decks are center-cut for the aces. For custom cuts, cuts in custom decks, or to cut multiple sets in a single deck, please email us as well.
