Bicycle Cards (by the US Card Manufacturing Company)

Now.... where do I start? This is one of the most popular card type in the world and is used and celebrated by all magicians. It is a staple in a magician's list of cards and most of them have at least 3 boxes of them at home (I used to... but then Is tarted a card using spree).

I will first of all list the things the cards are good for:

1. Playing
2. Manipulation (obviously not as good as proper manipulation decks but fro $2, it's VERY good)
3. Burning (actually... it's quite hard to burn... like, I throw it in fire and it just doesn't fucking burn... but we can pretend can't we?)
4. Ripping
5. Controlling
6. Fanning
7. Signing
8. Folding
9. Eating (I joke! Though i did NEARLY swallow one before during practice. I'm telling you, those things go down easy if you fold it up and have in in your mouth for anything over a minute)


Now... this review won't follow the usual order since bicycles are so damn awesome!

Anyways, here are some pictures for them (not mine obviously but still awesome)

An awesome angle from the side looking at the backs of the cards

I'll be covering the different types in later blog entries.

To be honest, this is quite a stupid review (and if you agree with me, you're also stupid... so... umm...... yeah....)

But yeah, if you perform magic and don't really like to use tally-ho cards... Bicycles are the way to go for you :)

well, that's all for this time!
