I am new to magic and wanted to do a color change a little different than what I see on magic shows or live performances where the red card changes to a different black card.

I wanted to take a red card and change just the color. So an Ace of Spades goes from black to red.

These cards allow me to do that.

Almost perfect. I only wish it were a full deck and not limited to the royal cards so I could do some audience participation ("pick a card and I'll change its color!") but otherwise great product and highly recommended.

The deck contains the 10 through to the ace of each set with the black suites printed in red and the red suites printed in black. It was as I expected from the description (and another review) AND delivered very quickly within a couple of days (US to UK). Brilliant service.

It is rather odd that a full deck couldn't have been supplied but this is an issue with Bicycle, the manufacturer, not with Penguin Magic the supplier.

I guess I should have read the info on it a bit more, but in all fairness it DOES say theres only 20 cards in the deck I guess I should have read more carefully. This is my only real complaint about the deck.

But other than that the quality is great. It glides well, it has the air flow finish that bicycle appears to do with all their cards these days. And for those curious as to the backing, its a standard red bicycle backing.
