These are almost certainly the most popular cards used by card magicians. I have read that if you are a card magician (I'm a hobbyist card magician) and you _don't_ use this brand of cards, you are under suspicion before you begin an act. The cards are printed by the USPCC (United States Playing Card Company), which prints most card decks. They are made with an air-cushioning system that beats the inferior decks other card companies produce. Bicycle cards have a beautiful-feeling matt finish unlike the cheaper brands that are made of plastic, with superior handling. You can get all sorts of extra Bicycle cards for card magic (not included here), which is not the case with most other cards. If you just like the beautiful feeling and of the cards and play recreational games, these cards are hard to beat. Plastic card are more durable, though. Sometimes they get damaged, perhaps from oily hands, or else the air-cushion gets damaged. They occasionally lose their touch in a couple of hours of handling, while other times people say a deck has lasted months or years. That's why I said the cards aren't durable. But with a 4 pack you can't lose. The reason for the 5 stars is that you are buying one of the top cards made at about 1/4 of the normal price per deck, so still getting value for money. I use them regularly. For playing card games you can't go wrong. One poor quality deck typically - straight out of the box - costs the same price as these 4. So you don't just get 4 good decks for the price of one good deck, but 4 for the price of one poor-brand card deck. Check online and you will fine card experts list the Bicycle brand among the top few brands of playing cards.Read full review

Sorry, this isn't much of a review. The cards seem pretty good and I've shuffled them and dealt them several times, but I haven't played any games with them. They've got a good plastic coating (except around the edge - that is just the cut surface) and (what used to be called) a cloth finish. They went from too slippery to okay after only a few shuffles and deals. I'd never heard of this brand, but they a few searches suggested that they are a good and popular brand. I'd normally buy Waddington. Incredibly cheap!

These cards were of a high class as expected of the Bicycle brand. The extra cards telling you where you can find out the rules of card games on their Web site was also useful. Would buy again for sure.

On average our Social Club gets around 5 six hour sessions per deck. When we replace a deck the used one is usually good enough to take to a local nursing home and the residents then get some more good use from them.
