Tally Ho Playing Cards Reviews

3 words best cards ever

overall better
by enigma @ 25, Aug 2006

Price: Appearance: For Poker:N/A For Magic:

Tally-Ho's are generally better than Bicycles, in my opinion. They cost a little more, and are less recognized for magic, but the quality makes up for it. They last longer, have more spring to them, and are not as easily bent as bicycles. Personally I find the back designs more stylish and appealing, or perhaps the bicycle one is simply too common nowadays. When I use a deck of bicycles, they tend to get warped and destroyed about twice as fast as my tallys. I think it's worth the extra price and trouble to get them.

Very, very nice

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

These cards deserve the hype that they get. Personally, I am not a fan of the back design, cirle or fan, choosing the standard bicycle rider back over it. However, the ace of spades, in all of it's glory is a sight to behold, and makes up for (in my opinion) the back design and price. The price is a little too much if you are just looking around for a practice deck, but there really is no going past it for a performance, magic or flourishes. Depending on how tight you are with your wallet, these cards are a double edged sword - the finish, handling and design make it the perfect deck for a performance, but you have to pay more to obtain the deck. In terms of quality for poker, these hold up better than just about every other deck (aside from plastic kems and the like) due to the thick stock and finish inherent with these cards. These cards really do shine in the flourish and magic world. The thick stock makes it perfect for cuts and very nice for colour changes where taught, stiff cards are needed. The finish also makes these cards a dream to spread and fan. In short, these decks are well worth picking up. My personal favourite would no doubt be the blue fan back, simply because in my eyes they look better. Due to the cost of these cards, you may only purchase one or two decks. If this is the case, save them for performances. They are well worth the extra money.

Tally-Ho Circle/Fan backs
by Midget Drummer @ 18, Dec 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

At the moment these are my favourite cards, they are perfect. The linoid finish makes the cards handle beautifully and both back designs look great and implement intricate detail. My favourite part of the deck has to be the ace, it is big and very 'arty,' none of the other aces can compare to this when it flys out of a hotshot cut, or when it is used in a snap change/shapeshifter. Plus, now that they are now around the same price as bikes they are a bargain buy.

these cards is my favorite red or blue doesnt matter (exept Vipers). there is not much that beats breaking up a new pack of these. and now im talking about cards =). these are also pretty ceap so the make a good practise deck or if you dont own vipers, a good show off deck for vids and stuff.

These Are Fantastic!
by Tally-Ho Playing Cards Review @ 05, Dec 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

I must say these have go to be the slickest cards I have ever handled (with the exception of the Vipers of course). My personal favourite are blue fanbacks, but the red and circlebacks are real nice as well. I like them much more than bikes because they certainly resist crimps better, the appearance is much nicer, the ace of spades is wicked, and they just seem to handle better. Around where I live in Canada, hardly anyone uses bikes to begin with so no one ever suspects anything of them when I'm performing magic. I just feel as if I have more of a "feel" with Tally-Ho cards (if that makes sense). They also work and look great while flourishing. The price imo isn't bad at all. A single deck of bikes here in Canada at Wal-mart is $4.65 CAN or 2 for $7.20 CAN. On the internet, I ordered a pack of 12 decks of Tally-Hos for $41 CAN total. Therefore, I only ended up paying around $3.40 per deck. That's a pretty good deal. Well, There's my review. I highly recommend these cards...you won't be disappointed :D

Tally ho fanbacks
by barnzee @ 05, Dec 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

The tally ho fanback has got to be one of the best designed decks of cards on the market; with the symetrical backpattern and amazing 'dougherties' ace of spades, this deck is beautiful. What is more the cards fan like a dream due to the Linoid finish and are very good for flourishing, I train using these cards.The only downfall with the tallies is that Generaly speaking these cards carry a slightly bigger price tag than bikes, however at the moment they can be picked up on Ebay for around the same price...

just my thoughts

i just recently bought a new deck of tallies and i'm very happy. they are good to fan and are great for flourishing. i got the original fanback design and to be honest i like it better the the rider back design probably because of the symmetrical look. all in all a top buy!

What can I say?
by endeffects @ 09, Aug 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

I can't talk about Bicycles without talking about Tally-Hos. The No. 9 Tally-Ho Fan Backs have got to be my favorite designed card to this point in time. Although if you want a higher quality card the price goes up; Sadly this is the case. They're more stiff than Bicycle 808s so they're less likely to get a minor crimp that is not fixable. Thats good to know. I use these cards for poker sometimes when I feel like having a fancy night at the table. People have asked me if they're marked cards though, So I don't usually use them for poker or magic. Recently I've started learning basic card Flourishes and they are very very nice to handle. Like a little piece of heaven as the cliche goes. Over all I love these cards, and if you're a card user definately pick these up and test them out, they might be your bowl of soup.

Best for Performance
by Marpenothi @ 30, Jul 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

These cards are slightly more expensive than normal Bicycle Playing Cards, but they have a much better appearance. I love the feel of these cards and are my personal favorite. Due to the extra money it costs to buy these over Bikes, I would recommend using Tally Ho's for performance but for training, practicing, etc., use Bicycles. Overall, awesome cards...be sure to get yourself some decks!

Tally Ho
by Shadow @ 29, Jul 2005

Price: Appearance: For Poker: For Magic:

These cards are really great. Their price is little higher than the price of Bicycle cards. They come with two back designs (circle and fan). I personally prefer the fan back design because I think this back design is better for gaining attention of the audience. Tally's are more durable than Bicycles, but they won't last as long as plastic cards so they aren't good for playing poker if you don't want to change the decks often. I like to use Tally Ho for doing both magic and XCM (flourishes). I think they are a little bit more tough than Bicycle cards. Someone might consider this as a disadvantage but I like it.

Our thoughts on the Tally Ho Playing Cards

Tally Ho playing cards are the cards of choice for performers. Jerry says he likes them even better than Bicycle Cards in the XB DVD. Bicycle Cards are great for practice but Tally Ho cards are better for live performances. Remember, these are the cards of choice for flourishes and magic but that does not necessarily make them a good card for playing poker. In fact, the plastic KEM cards are better for playing poker because they last longer.

Price Comparisons for Tally Ho Playing Cards

Tally Ho cards are fairly inexpensive. Unlike the plastic KEM cards they can be purchased for a few dollars per pack. That said, they are more expensive than other paper cards like Bicycles. Think of Tally Ho cards as between Bicycle Cards and KEM Cards in price but closer to the Bicycle Number.

Tally Ho Playing Cards Appearance

The fan design on the back of the Tally Ho cards is special. It looks outstanding when there are a bunch of Tally Ho cards grouped together (like in a big fan).

Tally Ho Playing Cards Flourish and Magic Quality

As mentioned earlier, Tally Ho Cards are the best cards for magic performances. They don't crimp as easily as Bicycle Cards and when they do crimp it is easier to get them back to normal. They have a more protected surface than Bicycle Cards (even though both are paper). Also, they look better than Bicycle Cards on the back. Bicycle Cards are also good for magic and flourishes but more on the practice side.

Tally Ho Playing Cards Poker Quality

Tally Ho cards don't last as long as plastic cards but they do all right, especially if you buy a brick of 12. Tally Ho cards might be the best paper cards for poker. Most people agree that plastic cards are better for poker though.
