BICYCLE BLUE SHORT DECK
Short bicycle red playing cards
This deck is a regular Bicycle Rider back deck. All the cards in this deck have been shortened a fraction of an inch. Similar to a Svengali deck.
Wasn't sure how noticeable the shortened cards would be, but they fan out beautifully and the slight size difference is perfect for my routine. The classic rider back design feels familiar in hand, and the deck handles just like a normal one until you need it not to.
I bought these for a card force trick I've been practicing and the shortened cards handle exactly like a normal deck until you need them to. The blue rider back finish fans smoothly and the trim is clean, no frayed edges anywhere.
The fraction-of-an-inch trim is subtle enough that the deck still handles like a normal rider back, but it opens up so many tricks. I've been using it for card forces and the handling stays smooth even after a few weeks.
