The Members

Only 52

The club has only 52 members and each one of them has been personally selected by The King himself. They are some of the greatest practitioners of the art of magic alive today.

Not only is the society itself a closely guarded secret, its members are known only to a select few. But if you ever see a magician holding a golden deck of cards with a matching commemorative coin... you’ll know you are looking at one of the world’s very best magicians.

The court cards

Gilt edged and embossed with 24 carat gold the prestigious Noble 52 deck can only be gifted by the King himself. Its design pays homage to the 52’s Arthurian roots with each court card depicting one of the original 52 members.

The Noble One

Every year King Charles bestows upon one single member of the 52 the title of The Noble One and shows a recognition of the member being amongst the very best magicians alive. They are presented with a commemorative ring inspired by the mythical Noble One Ring.
