Something about holding cards has always calmed me down. It's strange that I only recently started to learn card tricks. The only thing about this deck that makes me sad is that the box is kind of flimsy so I will have to find an alternative way to store them in the long run because the box itself kind of fell apart. Perhaps the glue wasn't strong enough? I plan to use these cards as props in movies and for certain tricks when I get better. It does take some time to figure out how to shuffle them. Overall I really like them a lot and I enjoy tripping my friends and family out with this larger than life deck. Sure there are bigger ones bit they aren't bicycle which is just so classic. That alone sold me. Also, not the smartest idea in the world to use this around kids. They are sturdy, but a smaller deck is much more stronger.

This is the exact deck that is used in the pricing game "Card Game" on "The Price Is Right". That's why I recently purchased a deck of big Bicycle red playing cards. I'm building my own Card Game prop, & plan to host my own version of the Card Game. If you're a huge fan of "The Price Is Right," & if really like the Card Game, I definitely recommend this. You won't be disappointed.

This is not air cushioned bicycle card so please dont expect a free fannable jumbo card

As far as price goes, that's the only buzzkill, but it is a great tool to have, it demands attention when on stage, and even more offstage, granted it's harder doing slight of with, you would probably resort to using kids easy illusions with the cards.

The cards are sturdy
Look good on stage
Demand Attention
Has Bicycle Brand (This is Good because people get skeptical when they see cards they don't recognize and automatically associate "TRICK DECK," granted it's not your average sized deck anyways.)

I'm just echoing and seconding other reviews when I say that this is a great bargain for this deck. And if it's true they've stopped making them, you should grab one! These cards are sturdy and should wear well - and for a long time.
