Return to the Gold Standard! Richard Turner's brand new Gold Seal Bicycle Cards are The Gold Standard in Bicycle Playing Cards and are now available to the professional magician, gambler, card mechanic, and every playing card aficionado in search of a great deck of cards. You asked for it-you've got it! Magicians and cardmen from around the world have asked Richard many times to employ the same card-making standards he developed for his Gamblers and Bee Cards to create a top of the line deck of the most popular playing cards ever produced, the trademarked 808 Rider Back Bicycles. The magic community also asked that Richard include two traditional matching Jokers in his deck, as well as a blank card with the Rider Bike back to use in reverse fans. Performers of gambling-related acts will also find the blank card useful as a cut-card when performing Greek-deals and other moves requiring a nondescript bottom card. Quality Each deck of Gold Seal Bicycle Cards is constructed using Bee stock, world renowned for its flexibility, yet long-lasting durability. They are stamped to a caliper/thickness that facilitates classic moves like bottom and center dealing and are embossed to a depth that does not break down the structural integrity of the card, yet still allows each card to breathe properly, thereby reducing the gum-up and hangers often caused by finger moisture. But, most importantly, since these cards were manufactured to Richard Turner's demanding personal specifications, they are Traditionally Cut! The Process Unlike most of the cards manufactured today, the cutting blade used in traditionally cut cards starts at the face of each card and punches through to its back. As a result, a sharp edge is created on the backside of each card and a rounded edge, which facilitates a flawless weave during each shuffle, is formed on the card's face. Traditionally cut cards ensure that card men and magicians can easil

Faro like a Boss!!
These cards truly are unique in the world of Bicycle Playing Cards! They feel and manipulate different to any others you will have used in this brand. They are traditionally cut,which basically means that doing a Faro or Weave shuffle is so easy it makes you feel like a pro every time you execute yet another perfect one with your eyes shut and the deck behind your back. Again!Seriously, if you're having trouble with learning or practicing the Faro, get these cards and you will quickly realise that the Faro is dependant on the cards you use.The cards are supposed to be usable out of the box. That is, they do not need to be 'broken in' . Now, if that means nothing to you then fine, don't worry about it! But if you know what I mean then you'll be happy to read that, most likely. I still like to run through the deck a few times but yeah, it seems true enough, the deck is soft and pliable as if the cards have been used for a few hours already when you unbox them. Not sure if I like such a thing or not. I suppose it doesn't cause a problem.All in all this deck is an absolute pleasure to hold and is my instant go to daily practice deck. In the hands all day some days. I think,not you like your cards and magic, you will likely find yourself doing the same and forgetting to put these down.They cost a bit more than your run of the mill Bikes, however, they are worth the price! These are NOTHING like run of the mill Bikes.
