The Effect Bicycle is highly recommended for all card work, especially tricks with ordinary playing cards and also card manipulations. These are professional quality cards with Bicycle design backs. Poker size.
The reason many magicians prefer Bicycle decks to store-brand decks is because they match the many trick decks that are made with Bicycle backs.
Deck of cards only- no routines or instructions are included.)

Bicycle cards are the best cards around. Talk to any magician and they will tell you the same thing. The cards are so smooth, the back is mirror imaged so it doesn't matter which way the card is turned, the borders make doing secrets moves look nice, and they will last you a really long time. PenguinMagic offers the cards at a really low price and you will probably end up paying a dollar a pack more anywhere else.
Hi. This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.
Now this is the best thing invented since sliced bread! These cards are the absolute BEST cards for magic, period. The are common, with a nice, smooth finish that feels great in your hands. You can fan them and manipulate them with ease! I never leave home without a deck of red Bikes in hand.
I do not prefer the blue ones. They are the same great card but red is a much more visible color in the spectrum, so you can see them much easier in a variety of lighting situations. Also, they are MUCH easier to do any effect the you need to write on the back of the card (like Stickman, Identity, etc).
ADD TO CART NOW. In fact, as I'm writing this review I may well add a few to my cart...LOL. :)
In my opinion bicycle is the best party can use for any card tricks. The cards are very well made on high-quality stock. The design allows the cars to smoothly move when you need to. The layers used in construction of the cards allows for modification as needed.

There is only one reason why these cards are a favorite of magicians worldwide, it is because when price, quality, look, feel and thickness come into account these are a tough competitor, and are hard to beat! If you haven't used these cards before, you better do so today!

bicycles are my number 1 choice for card magic. I love their smooth finish and flexible stock. Now, whenever I play poker with my friends, I bring a deck or two along and throw their rubbish non-bicycle cards away and look at my friends in absolute disgust.
