BICYCLE RED 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.
Picked this up as a cheap intro to trick decks and the shortened cards do exactly what they're supposed to. After a few minutes of practice the top card always peels off cleanly, and honestly it just feels like a normal deck in the hand otherwise.
The shortened cards make riffle shuffles feel completely different, and once you know the trick the deck handles like a normal rider back. Took me a few minutes to figure out why certain cards kept popping up, which is exactly the point.
I've been practicing card magic for years and this shortened deck makes forcing a card almost effortless. The Rider backs feel exactly like a standard deck in hand, so nobody suspects a thing.
