Many years ago, mini bicycle cards height were 2.5 inches. The same as Poker size width. These newer
mini cards are slightly shorter.
I bought a deck of these to do Diamond Jim Tyler's small
card effect, and had to adjust my handling due to the mini cards smaller then needed side. Not
exactly an issue with the product, but that's what I need it for.
Also, the tuck case is
almost too small for the deck. I literally had to tear the case to get the cards out.

Yeah, the quality sucks. I mean these cards aren't printed on Bicycle stock. I don't even think they
are Bicycle.
They kind feel like those cheap cards that you get in drugstores but they are
about half the size. They're good for shrinking or growing card effects. They can also be used by
poker-playing elves (Haha). The sticker comes off with part of the cheaply made box.
They
are cheap and small but totally worth the price.

Bad quality, you can see on :" The u.s. Playng card ", but you can see a little below, made in
china.. :-( .
they are not true cards, they are pieces of lightly plasticized cardboard

These are fine cards, but not such a good quality as normal sized bicycle cards. These are just
normal playing cards.
Thats why I gave only 3 stars.
But they are cool and fun.

These were ordered as a gift and the gift was greatly received
As others have said the quality of this deck is not great. While the design looks like the typical
bicycle rider back design, the card backs feel plasticity and the card stock feels like the same
papery quality as those small Christmas Bon Bon playing cards. These are better served for visual
purposes rather than allowing the spectators to physically touch them.
These cards are exactly what I have been looking for. Ok, they are not air cushion backed, but that
is not really important to me for a mini deck. They are USPCC, but are made in China. They are
perfect looking little decks. What's not to love? 😎
this is a great deck for the shrinking magic. the quality totally sucks! it is not fake as it is the
same as in the bicyclecards website. yes, it is the only deck that is made in China.
Great service. Fast shipping.
These Mini Bicycle Decks look great, are easy to handle and spread nicely. All of the cards look
exactly like their full-size equivalent, even the Ace of Spades, which looks excellent! Each deck
comes with two Jokers, one colored and one black-and-white. The cards look a little shiny, but that
helps with spreading and handling the cards.
The case is excellent in every way. Not cheap
looking at all. Looks like a regular rider back box, just in mini size.
I've used these
mini cards to create the Nick Trost effect "Nick's Expanding Cards", which is a great effect from
his "The Card Magic of Nick Trost (1997)" book. Nick's books contain several effects that use mini
cards.
These would be great for kids to get started with magic or for just playing cards.
The price is excellent at under $2, so buy 10 at a time! Get both red and half blue and
you'll be prepared!
Highly recommended!
