 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Brethodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey, today we're going to look at the Bicycle 130th Anniversary Playing Cards. These cards are available now in most retail shops and they're also available from Bicycle's website. They are coming out in both red and blue. And if you don't know, Bicycle's been around for 130 years and this deck is a commemorative addition for celebrating all of those. The back design on these cards is the number one wheel back that was originally done way back in 1887. This was one of the first few designs used under the Bicycle brand name and back then it came in red, blue, green, brown and it was in print all the way until 1907. What they did was they changed the center. If you look at the middle there, you see those three wings. You look at a lot of magic books, card magic books especially. There's drawings of this actual back design and magicians telling you how to use this as a one-way back design because you can see with a three-prong it looks different one way than the other. Well, they changed that three-prong symbol into a four-prong symbol later on to make the deck symmetrical. The tuck case on these simply says that they are the 130th anniversary edition. This is Bicycle and it says playing cards down there. It's all done in this kind of mute washed acid look that makes it look and feel like it's a deck from a long time ago. It does say 100th anniversary edition on it and American Spirit playing card. There's some ad copy about the United States playing card company and the top says standard sized anniversary face. You got your standard USPCC deck seal there and then the inside flaps. There's a little bit more just celebrating your bicycle's 130 years. That is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards are printed on Bicycle's infamous retail stock. They're very thin, they're very snappy, everything you'd expect from bicycle playing cards. They are done with a modern cut and they do have air cushion embossing and if you'd like to learn more about stock cut or finish, you can click the link below in the description. The first thing you're going to get with this deck is you're going to get an ad card celebrating the 130 years that bicycle's been in print. You're also going to get a get into the game ad card and of course you're going to get your two jokers go through your full size and your guarantee. Your ace of spades is a traditional 808 Rider Back ace of spades but here's where the deck actually takes a turn. Your pip and indices and your court cards are all unique to this anniversary edition. The spades have a more chunky top and a more flat pedestal stand at the bottom. Your diamonds have a more blood red deep color and they seem to be wider on the sides. The clubs like the spades have that same pedestal stand bottom and the more chunky top to them and your hearts like the diamonds have that same mute color and the more chunkier fat top to them. The court cards do have a traditional feel to them however their design color and faces are more of a throwback to a bygone era. Well as you would always expect from Bicycle, these cards are specifically crafted so that you can always trust them, trust their performance hand after hand. They're great for all games, great for card history, great for magic, great for all players. Alright so that is my deck review for the Bicycle 130th anniversary playing cards.
