The short deck eliminates the need to manually create a short card which is used in interesting ways to perform card magic. The deck has the same finish and gives ready to use accessory. Many thanks

The Bicycle short deck was perfect exactly what I needed and as described. As always great service and products

I was afraid they might take all the length off one end, leaving one white border thin and the other of normal thickness, but they came perfectly cut and symmetrical.

Rather than buying one Svengali deck and being stuck with a single (short) force card, if you buy a short deck, you can then get multiple one-way, two-way and three-way force decks (long), and you can then change the force card each time you use it, or have a two-way or three-way force in your Svengali.

Just change the way you present and riffle to manage the swap in which cards are long vs short.

Pros: edges are precision cut; a short card you can let magicians handle.

Cons: it could still be better; it would be nice if the actual blue printed rectangle was 1mm shorter than usual, and the image scrunched down. This rectangle is completely standard.

If you have a tool for cutting short cards as precisely as USPCC dies do, then you can make your own.

Excellent.
