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 card only- no routines or instructions are included.)

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.

Great cards!

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!

Classic Cards!

New to card magic? Ditch the $1 card board cards from the drug store and pick up a deck of the best cards. Bicycle cards have a great feel, stiff but bendable. The finish allows for beautiful fans and flourishes. Since Bicycles are the most popular cards for card magic, you'll find many trick decks and gaffed cards with the famous bicycle design back. And because they are readily available in major retail stores, most laypeople are familiar with the deck and therefore less suspicious about the deck.
My one compliant is that the quality is sometimes inconsistent.

BEST EVER.

Bicycle Decks of cards; the MOST used deck of playing cards of all time...
...There is a reason for that.
People RECOGNIZE these cards. If you go to a drugstore or someones house and ask for cards, chances are they will pull out a pack of normal, rider back Bicycle cards.
In addition, these cards have the stock that the USPCC is known for; the air cushion finish that gives these cards JUST the right amount of slide and glide to fan and flourish well.
In addition, being only 3 bucks a deck here at penguin, these decks of cards are a really worthwhile deal if you want to tear them apart, have them signed or make gimmicks.
Buy some today, you won't be sorry. I have to say that I do PREFER the red ones, just because they are more vibrant and give a warmer air during performances, but there is NO difference in stock, just a personal preference!

prefer blue

It may sound silly, but I prefer using blue bikes. They have a much calmer look about them. And why bicycle? Well.. just get a deck and find out. They're amazing to handle, smooth, elegant... [drooling over cards].
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
