This is a fully gimmicked deck, so you can’t hand it out. The design on the back of the cards is
cool, but it is not a Bicycle deck or a recognizable design, (at least not in the United States - it
is a product from the U.K., so perhaps it’s a recognizable design there, I don’t know). My points
being here that you obviously can’t hand any of the deck out for inspection or spectator use, and
you won’t be able to clandestinely switch this deck for any Bicycle deck you may be using.
This
comes with some extra cards to facilitate different uses for the deck. Without giving away too much,
I wish they would’ve provided an additional handful of the type of cards that are largest in number
in the deck. I can’t say more than that without being more specific. But if you want to limit the
number of force cards, (to one or two), you’ll be dealing with a deck that is very obviously not a
full deck of cards. They provide a suggestion on how to use the other cards given and “fix” that
issue, but it isn’t as fool proof a handling as it is if you are using all of the force cards, (7
available choices of force cards at any given time).
For the price, I think they could’ve added
another 15 or so gimmicked cards to facilitate further customization, (for example, those who want
to use it as a “no hands” or “over video” ‘tossed out deck’ and limit the number of force cards.
The cards are decent quality. They feel somewhat similar to Bicycles, but there are differences.
They are cleverly printed and I think it’s a great idea. I just wish they would’ve provided more
cards for customization and it would’ve been nice if they were on Bicycle cards.
