theory 11 recently teamed up with The Tonight Show to create a luxurious set of playing cards to celebrate the show, as well as its host, Jimmy Fallon.

The entire pack of playing cards boasts a charming art deco style, while the intricate packaging for the deck of playing cards includes fine details that make reference to the [iconic skyline of New York City](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-nyc) and Studio 6B. To really make the special-edition deck stand out, The Tonight Show Playing Cards also include a custom-made Ace of Spades, court cards and a Joker.

The premium playing card deck itself is made in the USA with [FSC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fractal-9)-certified paper from sustainable forests and printed with vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates.
