Brown Bicycle Playing Cards Rider Back 808


Brown Bicycle Playing Cards Rider Back 808. Well we have a new deck out that "Performers" and people that like the color "Brown" will be very excited about! This deck is the standard "Bicycle Rider Back" deck But we now have a new color "Brown" there are 11 different colored "standard rider back" decks on the market ( I believe) already and now we have 12, Did we need another color? Sure we did, colors are cool ! I remember that not to long ago you would have gladly sold off body parts to find a "Bicycle" deck in any other colors then, Red, Blue or Black and you still could not find them, As a Magician those days sucked and I am glad to see them go. So bring on the colors. The only unsure thought I have about this "brown deck" is the the "Brown" color is very, very close to the "gold" rider back maybe a little to close, but what the hell do I know? The good news is that this deck was supposedly made in a limited run of only 3000 decks! Always good news for collectors, as long as you have them in your hand once the supply runs out.

Bicycle Playing Cards Limited Edition Series # 2


Bicycle Playing Cards Limited Edition Series # 2. Well maybe 2010 is going to be a good for card collectors, Not because this is the greatest deck I have ever seen but because the U.S.P.C.C. did release the # 2 edition in this series. The U.S.P.C.C. has a habit of starting ideas and never finishing them ( vintage design) but so far so good. Because we now have 2 decks now in the "Limited Edition Series" There is suppose to be 10 total in this series, Well we will have to wait and see for that, I am not holding my breath but we have 2 for now. I like this deck even more then the first. The back design does not look like they used an excising design and just mixed it up like the first. This one looks cool and new! Good Job! The faces are very "bicycle standard" which is fine, The backs are very unique! Performers usually want a white border on there cards to perform with and this deck does not have a white border, But if you are a performer and like the look of the deck I am sure you will adapted. Collectors will like it also nice box, It stands out nicely. These decks are very affordable so grab some now, I have no idea how long they will be printing this deck and the U.S.P.C.C. probably does not either but the good news is the value of the #1 editions will continue to go up the more new decks they release in the series. To find the #2 "Limited Edition" Deck as well as hundreds of other new, rare, out of print Deck of playing cards for performers, collectors and everyone in between please visit my store www.the1eyedjack.com

Bicycle 125th Anniversary Edition Deck


Bicycle 125th Anniversary Edition Deck. The USPCC is turning 125 years old in 2010. I don't know if they are having a party? I think there are still trying to get back on track after the big move to "Kentucky" But anyway they have made a new deck to celebrate this historic event. I will be the first person to shake my head at the USPCC for the way they do things but I am thankful for them. I could not image what the "Magic" world would be like without them and there "Bicycle" Playing Cards. i must say that this deck is pretty cool It comes in "Red or "Blue" nice quality, the finish you have come to love some "Old Time" pips, court cards, aces and jokers. I think the back design is real cool! Every card has the anniversary dates on the side of the face. The seal on the box says 125 years and the box is printed in shinny metallic ink which looks real nice, Not the sexiest designed box I have ever seen but it is not suppose to be I guess? Anyway this deck is hard to find right now because it will not be released to the world until 2010. Of course that is the plan right now, who knows what will happen there has been some real strange things happen to decks and the release plan so we will just wait and see. But you can get them right now, I have them. This cost is low and this deck does have huge potently to be a truly great collectible. I am not sure if that will happen with The USPCC in charge of it marketing but we will have to wait and see. This deck is a great deck for performing or everyday play.

Arcane Deck


The Arcane Deck, by Ellusionist Well here we have the latest effort from the "Ellusionist" I must give credit were it is due, These guys turned the playing card industry upside down and kicked it in the ass when the released the "Black Tiger " Deck. Well there has been tons of decks released from everyone you can think of since then but one thing you know, When "Ellusionist" makes a deck it is cool, performing worthy and high quality! The "Arcane" decks follow in this tradition very nicely. They come in "Black" or "White" have "Sexy" backs, cool "Alien chick" jokers a "double backer" everything you have come to expect. I love this deck, (especially the "White" the black is cool but overall the cards just seem a little to dark to me, but what do I know?) You will love it too, for performing, collecting, playing poker for the next 6 years in you cell while you await your release, it does not matter this deck is 1st class!

Smoke & Mirror Decks, Luxury Edition


OK, So we now have the new "Smoke and Mirror" Luxury Edition by "Dan and Dave" the Buck twins. This is the 3rd printing of this deck. Dan and Dave are "Jedi" when it comes to cards So you know that they would not put there name on a deck if it did not have plenty of quality and just like the first 2 editions if you are a performer you will like this deck it handles great. If you are a collector you should get your hands on a few decks fast because they do make a lot of theses decks and once they sell out they become very hard to find and you know what that means.... The price goes way up. So get them fast! I love this deck, and I think "Dan and Dave are among the best they have done a lot of "Good for magic" but I must be honest. I am a bit disappointed, They first put out the original "Smoke and Mirror" Decks that was cool! Then they put out the "Special Edition" Decks, well OK because they did change the "court cards" and they put "Special Edition" on the box. But now we have the "Luxury Edition" What the hell is going on here? The "Mirror luxury Deck" does come with two "Ace of Spades" one "White" face and one "Black" face and that is cool, but other then that it is the same deck as before? Oh of course this box says "Luxury Edition" which is good for collecting, but that is a term I look for more in a "Car" then a deck of cards ! The deck is great but please stop here guys. You have to much creativity, talent and credibility to turn this into the "Playing Card" equivalent of so many bad horror movies that go on and on until part 14. "Smoke and Mirror" was a fantastic idea and a first class deck! But I think its time to produce another new fantastic idea. I really don't want to see the "Super Duper Secret Agent Edition" next. Lets keep the "Cheese" in the dairy business.

Karnival Assassins deck


The Karnival Assassins Deck, Bicycle playing cards. Well they are here and I must say I had mixed thoughts as I have been waiting for this deck. I always like to see new decks come out, it is good for business but when I fist saw the promo photos for the deck I thought WTF? This is looking a bit tacky? It made me think of a comic book or a video game not a deck of cards. So when they showed up on my porch today I did not know what to feel, but The folks a "Big Blind Media" did a great job. The quality is nice, they handle, fan, farrow and perform well I expected all that. What I was really happy to see is the print quality of the cards is very good! The colors are deep and bright and crisp! The card backs have the same nice bright colors as the box. This is something that drives me nuts! You get a new deck and the box has a nice dark black color on it and then you open the box and the cards are more of a charcoal gray. Honestly the "Karnival Midnights" are guilty of this the color of the cards don't look as nice as the box. But they got it right this time and its a dam good thing because if all that red looked "pink" instead of "red" this deck would suck. I don't fault the creators of the deck when this happens, It is much more likely that it is a quality control issue with USPCC. Anyway this deck came out right! Its got great jokers and "Ace of Spades" a "double backer" a "force card" and some goodies printed on the box so it has what the performers need, probably not the best choice for kids cards tricks though.But that is up to you. The deck will stand out from the rest of the collection that's for sure. Never underestimate the power of a skull, gun, coffin, blood and bullets its a great way to say I love you to someone special and the holidays are just around the corner!

Alchemist Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards. Ok here is a cool new deck on the market. The deck was designed by "Stephen Rooks" I don't do who he is? But I don't know a lot of things and that don't make them bad. As far as the name "Alchemist" I don't know what the hell that means? But I do know it is a cool deck ! I was told there were only 2001 decks made. The "Ace of Spades" and the box feature a cool skull, The backs feature some real nice design and detail and are a very unique "Gold" color. The courts cards also sport this "Gold" color and quickly became one of my favorite color schemes of court cards ever. The backs are not standard "Bicycle" which is refreshing to me but you may or may not like that? The deck has some extras for performing. A double backer, A blank face backer, and a box that showcases the "6 of spades" on flaps and "7 of spades" written on the bottom of the box. The deck comes with 2 jokers that look cool, but I can not figure out what the hell I am looking at to save my life. I have looked at them many times and in different states of intoxication and still don't know what the hell they are suppose to be! They have "White" borders and handle very, very nicely! This is a great deck for performers and collectors alike and with the limited printing get them quick because I bet they will be gone soon!
