Bicycle Black Tiger Playing Card Deck

The look of these cards always impresses! This will be the fourth time I've purchased this deck, if that tells you anything...These cards are perfect for magic tricks. The contrast on the face of the cards really makes them "pop". The red and white looks amazing and the designs are perfect. I also like the backs. Many black decks have just plain black backs. The amount of white on these bqcks makes them more appealing.As far as handling, they are great. What you expect from Bicycle, these are made for magicians. They handle great for any trick. Even those where you have cards flipped the opposite way. Which can often be a problem with colored specialty decks.Now keep in mind, because they are black, eventually they will wear down and the black will begin to fade. Hence why I'm on my fourth deck (actually planning to just get two decks this time). That said, they are well worth the price of admission.Cheers

Super cute design. Has a soft linen finish and is easy to shuffle (not too stiff, doesn't get stuck together, etc). Great cards for playing games. They're probably too slippery for card tricks.The sticker seal leaves a residue on everything it touches (including on the cute box when the sticker is removed ugh). They shouldn't cut that little curve out of the box edge if they want to use a seal like this b/c the adhesive comes in contact with the frontmost card.

Cons:1.This deck is nice but when I try to attempt to pharaoh shuffle this deck it chips the corners.2.The deck is fragile in some areas and durable in other areas.Pros.1. This is extremely beautiful and perfect for cardistry2. The deck is very flexible like most Ellusionist decks which is great for most card tricks.

I absolutely love these cards. The design is absolutely fantastic. They are papery which is a + and a - and has a performance finish. Mine got a bit sticky (not sure if that was the finish or just my friends >:( but they still work fine.) They shuffle extremely well and the bridge feels like it was meant to be. They fan pretty well too. You can use these for regular play or some magic tricks. They do wear out after month or so of heavy use, but if you fiddle with cards, just use another deck to fiddle with. I only use this for magic tricks or for games. I wouldn't take back this purchase. 5/5!

I’m a collector, so it’s kind of a drag when a sticker is placed right over the design on the clear wrapper. I tried a few things to remove all the sticker glue but it still leaves a haze. Makes it difficult to put the pack into a display case. Other than that, I appreciate the cost and easy delivery.

These are just lovely- I bought them to use together with a black spider deck and the combination of the black and white and red from both decks is just what I was looking for. A bit goth and sci-fi and geek. Unique and interesting, but still usable fun cards. Mostly I play a version of rummy with my family, but sometimes a bit of solitaire or card houses. Just pretty entertainment. I don't plan on using them for magic, as I think they were meant to be. But I think they would work well for that. They are very durable and slick, but don't show fingerprints easily. I'm happy with this purchase!

My son loves to watch cardistry videos on youtube and saw these on one of his favorite channels. When they came, everyone at our gathering was impressed! They are so well made and smooth to handle. And the red and white pips pop off the black background to make a huge impact on your audience no matter the difficulty of your cardistry. It automatically ups your game just from a visual standpoint!

Here are some reasons why this deck is amazing.The backs of these decks are pure magic with a white interior and a neat black border.The faces of the cards are amazing.(the red pips are still red but the black pips are white)Some extra things you get with the deckthe finish is preformance coatingyou get a double backerand you get a queen of hearts reveal at the topThe jokers are the same as regular bicycle decks
