Magic Tricks

To start with, I like these cards. If, like me, you use cards as a tool and want to use cards that are not going to attract spectators' attention, you can't beat Bicycles that look like you picked them up at CVS. These cards look like that and also say "Rider Back" and have the card back on the back of the pack if you care about such things (although the back on the pack won't pass for the back of a card because it's too dark). I'm not sure they Faro any more easily than regular cards, but they are infinitely easier for a one-handed shuffle. This is not a tremendously useful flourish but, if, like me, you've taken the time to learn it, you want to use it. They also feel more solid than regular Bikes and so far have lasted longer in practice sessions. I'm not sure that they work as well with blank-backed or -faced cards printed on regular stock, but that is a narrow issue. All in all, and particularly since they are not that much more than regular Bikes if you are shopping on this site, I recommend them. They're just cards, though, and the choice between these cards and other versions of Bicycles is of limited importance.
