Main Plain Cards
by nim.ble @ 23, Jun 2006

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

The price is perfect for the greatness of these cards. I can get 9 packs for $13.00 Canadian here at a local store. The appearance is pretty spiffy too like a work of ancient art:). Me and my buds use them all the time when we play poker and they are pretty darn durable and clearly common. I always use bikes for magic because they don't look suspicious and they're so cheap. I use them in magic and flourishing when I am adapting to a certain trick. Very good cards, one of my favourites.

Rider Bikes
by Midget Drummer @ 20, Dec 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

Great cards. They handle well, they are a common site to all, the back design is nice and they are so cheap to buy. Doing magic and flourishes with these cards is great and since they are so cheap is doesn't matter if they are damaged or lost. These cards are well worth the investment.

Bicycle cards quite simply one of man's greatest inventions; they are durable, good quality cards with a reasonable pricetag and will last along time if looked after.Get some bikes and see for yourself, they have good prices here at 21ace.

bikes are pretty much the best for every day handling as well as magic. they are very versatile and are common to most people. I use them the most out of other cards.

Best there are
by Tom @ 19, Sep 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

In my opinion, it's extrememely difficult to beat a pack of Bikes. The look, the feel, the alround excellence is breath-taking. Here you can pick up a pack for about £1.50 which, compared to other rubbish cards is fantastic. The first time I got into magic about 5 years ago, I read about Bicycle Playing Cards on the net and decided to buy a pack or two from eBay. When they got here I was blown away with how easy it was to fan, single-hand-cut, do magic and just about anything else there is to do with a pack of cards. If you're a poker player, you'll love these cards too. I always have a pack on me incase I should need to stun a spectator with a dazzling trick, or win a few bob in a poker game. Bikes are fantastic.

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

These are extremely cheap cards at costco, 13 dollars or so for a dozen, that's like a 1.10 a pack. These are the nicest feeling cards I pulled out from a box. The only thing I don't like about these, is that after shuffling, bridging, waterfall, anything like those a lot, the cards wear out fast, but last longer than bees. The design on the cards is a lot nicer looking than the simple diamond back bees too.

a necessity
by fattyonadiet @ 01, Sep 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

i reckon these are a must have for any card player. no matter whether your playing poker or doing magic these cards will help. they aren't too expensive and their appearance isn't too bad, but what makes these cards great are their easy to handle feel. Bicycle cards improved the look of many of my flourishes because they just glide over one another. they also last (in my opinion) longer, i've tried using tally-ho's and i believe they didn't last nearly as long.

Bicycles

Well these are the best cards you can buy. Durable, and easy to handle. A great deck of cards to have.

Your basic cards
by Marpenothi @ 31, Aug 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

These cards are classic...they've been around forever and still very commonly used today. These are the best cards you will get for the money. They are cheap but high quality, and perfect for both the beginner and advanced card expert. If you are a magician, these cards are best to use because people will least suspect gimmicks or tricks inside the deck. For manipulators and flourishers...these cards work well for anything you want to learn.

My Favorites
by Andy @ 30, Aug 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

Bike cards have always been my favorites. They're the ones we always bought when we needed a deck, and they lasted for a pretty glong time for their price. Once i got into magic, I realized they were good for that too. These cards are the best for their price in my mind.

Bang on
by endeffects @ 08, Aug 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

Alright what can I say about these cards? Do I hate them? Why yes I do, I've never dropped a single brand of playing cards as much as I have bikes. Quality wise there is only one other brand I would use before Bikes. Blue is always better. The back design is interesting but not visually stunning when used for Flourishing because the cards are so popular. For magic they're great, people dont always expect gimmicked or cheater cards because Bicycles are so popular. IMO they're affordable, dispensable, and all around great cards for poker, magic, and card flourish practice. Just treat them with more respect than I show for them.

All around Favourites
by Jonjo @ 03, Aug 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

Bicycle Cards are the magic industry standard and have been for any years, recognised by everyone in the US and many people in europe thye are a decent quality card that doesn't scare the audience. They come a very close second to Tally's for flourishing and have loads of nice colours and index sizes to choos from. Available from about $1 per pack (standard versions) they really can't be beaten for value and quality at that price not to mention there available almost everywhere and almost the gimmicked decks out there are bikes. Great cards, i have almost every concievable colour and they are my card of chosice for day in day out practice and performance!

Affordable / durable
by User125 @ 18, Jul 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

Bikes can be very cheap if you purchase them in bulk on ebay. I got mine for 1.60 AFTER shipping and tax ( I had to purchase 48 decks though) I felt that the Bikes are great for cuts including sybil, I had no problem doing fans w/ them. And they last longer than my tally-hos. Its great for magic (My friend only uses bikes for his routine) and its great for poker.

Nice, Cheap, Fantastic!
by Ice1719 @ 08, Jun 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

These cards are the epitome of in-your-face impromptu magic. I don't know how many times I've been at the store, bought a deck of Bicycle cards (For usually less than a dollar) and massacred an audience with an array of impromptu magic. Nothing is stronger than buying the deck in front of the witness, and no deck is cheaper than the Bicycle when it comes to easy-to-do, smooth cards cuts, flourishes and manipulation.

Bikes

Ok bikes are great, I got two packs of them at my house, one pack for magic, the other for poker. Like u guys have said these cards are great for anything. Plus you can always go to your local wal-mart and buy 2 packs for 2 dollars. Woo Hoo

Cards for every purpose
by Shadow @ 13, May 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

Bicycle cards are quite well known in States but you can get them easily even if you don't live there. If I compare them with European paper cards I used, Bicycle cards have much better quality and their price is even lower sometimes. The overall handling is really good - shuffling, cuting, manipulations, magic - Bicycles can be used for everything. Their finish ensures perfect fanning and spreading. They are good for playing poker too but they won't last as long as the plastic cards. The appearance is also nice. The cards are printed and cut well. If you haven't tried these cards yet, buy some and try them.

Bicycle Card Review

One of the most commonly used cards, this brand can be used for both poker play, magic, and flourishes. While they usually don't last that long, they still are recognized by most laymen, as these are probably what they have.

Bicycle Card Review
by Eric @ 10, May 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

Bicycle Cards are very inexpensive. They only cost about $2 per pack. The appearance is good, they are well known. They don't last too long for poker but they are so inexpensive that it doesn't really matter. Many poker players buy them in bricks or packs of 12 so that when a pack gets worn out it can be replaced quickly. The magic quality on these is good. They are not slippery like the plastic cards. They have a nice feel to them.

Our thoughts on the Bicycle Playing Cards

Bicycle playing cards are the standard by which other paper cards are judged. Bicycle cards have been around for awhile and they are quite affordable. They are similar to the Bee cards but Bicycle cards are more well known. They are not as durable as plastic cards like KEMs or Copags but they are also a lot less expensive.

Bicycle Cards go back over 100 years. In the 1880s bicycles were getting popular in America. This was a time in which cycling — on unicycles, bicycles, and tricycles were very popular. During this time, Russell & Morgan, the forerunners of the United States Playing Card Company, decided to produce a line of cards of the highest quality. They settled on the name Bicycle after asking employees to come up with a name. The printer, "Gus" Berens, came up with the "Bicycle" name. His idea caught on, and the Rider Back made its debut in 1887. The Bicycle brand has grown since then introducing dozens of different designs. Fortunately the Rider Back has never gone out of production.

Price Comparisons for Bicycle Playing Cards

Bicycle cards are fairly inexpensive. Unlike the plastic KEM cards they can be purchased for a few dollars per pack. The last time I checked PokerBargains these cards were priced at $24.99 for 12 decks or just over $2 per deck.

Bicycle Playing Cards Appearance

The Bicycle cards look like standard cards, they are easy to recognize. The Bicycle font on the package is well known.

Bicycle Playing Cards Flourish and Magic Quality

Bicycle cards are a great choice for card tricks. Unlike the plastic cards, these paper cards work well for various slights.

Bicycle Playing Cards Poker Quality

Bicycle cards don't last forever but they are a great deal for the price, especially if you buy a brick of 12. You can't go wrong with a brick of Bicycle cards.
