Bicycle Seconds
Per chi non le conoscesse le Bicycle Seconds sono sempre carte Bicycle standard, che
presentano la stessa qualità del modello classico, solo che a differenza di queste
qualche carta all’interno può presentare qualche piccolo difetto, come ad esempio una
carta stampata un po’ male, qualcuna un po’ sbavata... E diciamo che la Bicycle ha
preso queste ultime, realizzando il mazzo Seconds, che è un mazzo della stessa
qualità delle Standard ma che, essendo a basso costo, è perfetto per i vostri continui
allenamenti che, come sappiamo, distruggono le carte in un battibaleno. Con questo
mazzo allo stesso tempo risparmierete tanti soldi, avendo sempre però a disposizione
un mazzo che non ha nulla da invidiare al modello con astuccio standard; infatti ci
teniamo a dire che nella nostra azienda sono stati controllati circa 100 mazzi Seconds
e vi possiamo assicurare che su 100 mazzi, giusto in 4-5 abbiamo riscontrato qualche
carta un po’ particolare, con qualche piccolo difetto, per il resto, tutti mazzi perfetti di
ottima qualità e che non presentano nulla di strano, quindi tirate voi le somme.
Ci teniamo inoltre a chiarire che essendo carte di seconda scelta non ci riteniamo
responsabili per eventuali difetti delle carte.
Queste carte le consigliamo solo per allenarsi! ;)

Bicycle Elephant Tsunami Deck

Bicycle Elephant Tsunami deck was made to support the tsunami relief effort and
honor the elephant. Not a single elephant died in the disaster. They trumpeted a
warning and fled to high ground before it struck. Scientist were amazed by the
elephants ability to sense the coming disaster. They are not yet sure how.
They most likely will never be reprinted and have already become a collectors item.
You will not find these in stores.

Bicycle Shadow Masters

Uno splendido mazzo di carte formato poker con un design molto particolare e
misterioso!
Ogni carta a sfondo nero, con disegni color bianco-grigio. I semi di Cuori e Quadri
sono rossi, ma in tonalità diverse: si passa dal rosso vivo al quasi granata in uno
splendido effetto!
I colori dei semi di Fiori e Picche sfumano dal bianco al grigio, producendo un altro
bellissimo effetto!
L’Asso di Picche davvero straordinario, con all’interno un’aquila con sopra una corona.
Sul dorso troviamo il tema Bicycle, dal nero al bianco con sfumature di grigio.
Quanto ai due jolly, sono un vero capolavoro: rappresentano la morte, con la falce e
la testa a teschio; sullo sfondo ci sono delle rovine: su di uno la morte ha in mano una
Clessidra, sull’altro ha una sorta di “gioco” che ci ricorda la forma del DNA.
È presente anche una carta speciale!
Insomma, basta la foto per capire che questo mazzo di carte non può mancare nella
vostra collezione!
Carte di alta qualità, fanno veramente colpo sul pubblico! Una grafica bellissima!
Bicycle Professional
This deck was just made available by the Conjuring Arts Research Center. It is a
limited edition release.
These new Professional Bicycles might look familiar, but they have been custom
designed for discerning card handlers. They feature an unprecedented level of quality
along with a handful of clever surprises.
The cards are printed on the highest quality casino stock with U.S. Playing Card's
finest coating. These cards will make many common sleights easier, and certain
sleights and flourishes wouldn’t be possible with any other deck.
These decks are arranged similarly to the Spanish, or Fournier, order. It is a natural
Stay-Stack or mirror stack and will allow those who use Mnemonica to get into stack
more quickly than with regular Bicycles.
CARC has designed 12 different card boxes. Although they will look the same, in
actuality each reveals three commonly named cards in an unexpected manner. This is
an innovation from Conjuring Arts. One card is revealed on the inside of the box and
another is revealed when your spectator calls the number under the bar code. Best of
all, spectators can watch the bar code itself transform into the name of a selected
card!
Some praise from the magic community:
"The Professional Bicycle packages everything the Conjuring Arts knows about
printing cards, combined with innovative features, inside a classic Bicycle box. We
couldn’t be more pleased with a deck of playing cards." - Dan and Dave Buck
"I love these cards and so will you! After three weeks of constant shuffling they still
handle great. To date these are the finest quality card on the market." - Bill Malone
This sale (Buy it now) is for ONE DECK OF Air Cushion finish decks.
These are BRAND NEW decks, in cellophane and sealed. They are available in RED
ONLY.
These cards are also available in pairs and Ivory (smooth) finish. See my
other store listings for those.

Bicycle Divine
“That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which
is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.” -Albert
Einstein

This deck seems to be a DIVINE one.

The Divine Playing Cards were designed using a mathematical pattern discovered in
1200 A.D. that seems to be the key to everything.
This mysterious diagram is hiding in plain sight everywhere: flowers, shells, waves of
the sea, trees, in your fingers, in your ears, and even in the shape of the galaxies.
Accordingly to science, this pattern might be a trademark that proves the existence of
a creator.
There is a special “easter egg” feature in the deck that will surprise your friends and
guests during your card games. You'll be able to let them find out in a very unique

Bicycle Escape Map
Durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, The United States Playing Cards Company ha
unito le forze con i servizi segreti americani e britannici per creare un mazzo di carte
molto speciale. Questo mazzo è stato appositamente creato per aiutare i prigionieri
alleati di guerra a fuggire dai campi di prigionia tedeschi.

Questo mazzo di carte divenne noto come la “mappa del mazzo”. È stato fatto
nascondendo mappe top-secret, vie di fuga tra i due strati di carta che compongono
tutte le moderne carte da gioco.
Questi mazzi, quando vengono immersi in acqua, potrebbero essere sbucciati a pezzi
per rivelare le mappe nascoste che hanno permesso ai prigionieri in fuga di trovare la
strada verso la salvezza.

A causa della guerra e delle persecuzioni per i crimini di guerra, in seguito la mappa
nel mazzo rimase un segreto gelosamente custodito per molti anni dopo la fine della
guerra. La segretezza che li circonda era così alta, che nessuno sa davvero quanti
mazzi sono stati prodotti o quanti sono sopravvissuti.

Bicycle Secret Weapon

L’Asso di Picche fu creato con uno scopo ben definito durante la Guerra in Vietnam. Le
truppe statunitensi conoscevano le tradizioni vietnamite come quella del simbolismo
della vanga che sta a significare morte e sfortuna. Questa credenza ha influenzato le
truppe statunitensi ad utilizzare l’Asso di Picche come arma psicologica contro i Viet
Cong per la liberazione Nazionale del fronte (FLN).

Nel febbraio del 1966, due luogotenenti della Compagnia “C”, secondo battaglione,
35° reggimento, 25° Divisione di Fanteria, hanno chiesto alla United States Playing
Card Company mazzi che contengono solamente l’Asso di Picche Bicycle. Nel tentativo
di intimorire e spaventare i Viet Cong, era abitudine comune lasciare un Asso di Picche
sui corpi dei soldati vietnamiti uccisi da diffondere sul terreno di battaglia. Alcuni video
di guerra mostrano soldati americani con l’Asso di Picche Bicycle che spunta infatti dal
loro casco.

Il mazzo Bicycle Secret Weapon è stato ristampato durante l’operazione Desert Shield.
Questa volta i mazzi sono stati stampati solo come tradizione nel tempo di guerra più
che un’arma psicologica.

Bicycle® Joker Deck

This deck features 26 unique Jokers from The United States Playing Card Company
archives. Some are old, some are new, but all of them show the wide variety of
images and styles that have been featured on our cards over the years. The card
backs are straight from USPC’s archive binders with art dating back many decades.
The tuck features a red and gold motif, with red embossing and a subtle raised
diamond pattern. The inside of the tuck is metallic gold.
This is a Limited Edition deck that is available exclusively to Club 808 Members. The
seal on top of the tuck is a Club 808 one showing the production quantity of 5,000
decks.
Only 5,000 Joker Decks were printed, so get yours while you can.
Bicycle Porcelain
Porcelain è un elegantissimo mazzo di carte Bicycle, in cui viene omaggiata la bellezza
immortale delle classiche porcellane cinesi colorate di blu e bianco.
Splendido dorso “one-way” e bella colorazione delle figure.
Le carte, formato poker, hanno la consueta qualità delle Bicycle.
Initially printed by United States Playing Card Company for the Chinese marketplace,
Bicycle Porcelain deck is pretty much impossible to find outside Asia.

Bicycle Autobike
Originally labeled as No. 9, this is one of the most controversial decks in the United
States Playing Card Company history. It has been documented that this deck was
introduced in 1906 and discontinued in 1913, but no serious card collector has ever
seen an original version of this back design in person, therefore all seem to universally
agree that this deck never went into production. This deck is printed on premium
Bicycle® brand cardstock with the brand's classic Air-Cushion™ finish for optimum
performance.
The tuck case design for this deck has been inspired by the back side of the first
widely-available Bicycle brand product packaging. Originally printed in 1907, the front
side of this box went on to become the standard for the Bicycle® brand for the next
102 years. This deck features a vellum tuck stock and embossed tuck elements.
A unique tax stamp closure seal is featured on this deck, highlighting the beginning of
The United States Playing Card Company history as the Russell, Morgan & Co.
business.

Bicycle Gold Standard by Richard Turner

Having seen countless numbers of
card experts execute [esibirsi] for over eighty
years I consider Richard Turner to be
for the most skilful.
He performs the most difficult moves
with the greatest ease.
I doubt if anyone can equal him.

Aviator Heritage Edition Playing Cards
“A century ago man first soared into the clouds and reached beyond the
impossible. Today, we venture further skyward and invite you aboard as a
classic is reimagined.”

Introduced in 1927 to commemorate Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight aboard

the Spirit of St. Louis, AVIATOR® Playing Cards have been available in stores around
the world ever since.

Nearly 90 years after their initial release, we’re proud to present a new edition of
AVIATOR® playing cards, inspired by Howard Hughes. Hughes, the pioneering airman
of the 20th century, turned his H-1 racer into a beacon of innovation as it flew across
the night sky. Within the vintage tuck-case, each card features Hughes’s racer, high
above the earth – boldly exploring all places unknown. So grab a pack, strap in, and
come fly with us.

Classically designed by D&D in collaboration with the US Playing Card Co. AVIATOR®
Heritage Edition are a timeless tribute to the iconic brand.

In collaboration with The United States Playing Card Company, Dan and Dave have
reimagined Aviator® playing cards to honor Howard Hughes and his pioneering
advancements in aerospace design and technology. Hughes (1905-1976) was, among
other things, an industrialist and expert aviator. His H-1 Racer aircraft first took flight
in 1935 and went on to break world records in speed and distance. Its revolutionary
design continued to inspire airplane manufacturers for years. This deck features the
H-1 Racer soaring above the earth, a symbol of American idealism and the spirit of
innovation. The trailing banner encircles our planet, declaring “boldly explore all
places”, a challenge for mankind to reach new heights.

Artisan
Artisan Playing Cards are produced at The United States Playing Card Company using
FSC-certified papers derived from sustainable forests, vegetable-based inks and
starch-based laminates. The result is a durable finish that respects the environment.
Sealed with a red tax-stamp sticker seal marked with the month and year of print.

Bee Erdnaseum Squeezers

Il box Bee® Squeezers è una riproduzione esatta del primo classico mazzo del 1900.

Just released by Conjuring Arts Research Center and Dan & Dave, the Bee
“Erdnaseum” Squeezers deck was produced in small quantities and will not be
reprinted.

The Bee Squeezers box is an exact reproduction of an early 1900′s classic. The Bee
Worm back playing cards inside have been imprinted with an original Scott Kim
ambigram that says, “S.W. Erdnase” or “W.E. Sanders” when turned end-for-end.
Traditionally cut and printed by the US Playing Card Company on premium paper
using their casino-quality web press.
From the Conjuring Arts web site:

These cards are offered to the public in commemoration of the enduring [irrisolto e
duraturo] mystery of The Expert at the Card Table and its author, S.W. Erdnase.
Among the men whose names have been discovered as anagrammatic equivalents (?)
to the pseudonymous writer, W.E. Sanders emerges as perhaps the most compelling.
A longtime card player and a student of magic, Sanders was the kind of person who
took half-a-dozen decks with him on a camping trip. Skilled in deception, he
rearranged the letters in his name, tore pages from his diaries and snuck out of his
home for late night visits to high-rolling private clubs. A mining engineer and
professional writer by trade, Sanders was eccentric and brilliant, offering no
justification and seeking no credit for the knowledge he imparted.

The deck is poker size and has Cambric Finish. (Ivory finish not available)

Coterie Bee Playing Cards

We designed the Coterie Bee Gold Edition in year 2011 with its color variations and
themes, the original Gold Edition was considered by many as the most elegant Bee
playing cards ever conceived.

900 decks out of the initial 5200 decks run were sealed and reserved for Artiste and
higher classes members of Coterie of Prestidigitation Artists.

After Coterie Bee Gold Edition was sold out, we planned to proceed with new edition of
Coterie Bee. However, after over a year of correspondence and negotiation, USPCC
informed us that they will not print Coterie Bee anymore nevertheless.

We had to discontinue the Coterie Bee series and subsequently decided to abandon
the Gold Seal Coterie Bee playing cards as part of the Artiste membership package.

650 decks of Gold Seal Coterie Bee playing cards will now be made available for
purchase, after they were gone, the remaining stock will become part of our special
promotion offer.

We only had one goal when designing this deck – to develop a deck of playing cards
that retains all the fine qualities of Bee playing cards yet manifesting the needs of
professional magicians and cardistry practitioners at the same time.

“Bee” playing cards by US Playing Cards Company is without a doubt THE most
recognized playing cards worldwide, for this reason, it will less likely to provoke the
suspicion of your audience for whether trick decks are being used in your
performance.

The Gold and Black Diamond Back design is simple yet elegant, and above all, this
design will not distract your audience from perceiving the revelation of magic effects
and the display of finger dexterity.

The superb card feel, snap and durability of “Bee” playing cards are unparallel.

The Coterie Bee Playing Cards also facilitate magicians with an advantageous
presence to audiences in a unique way. You can customize the deck by writing your
name and signing the deck on the back of the tuck case, instantly you become a
Member of a PRESTIGIOUS and secretive ELITE magician society!

Rounders by Madison & Ellusionist – White

I’m always amazed at how iconic the Rounders have become and wanted to pay
tribute to that in the final edition of this deck.

Rounders are recognizable by their backs alone, so I wanted the box to reflect this; by
only printing the back design on the box to allow the design speak for itself.

I have always felt that any card box needs little attention as it's just the covering for
the deck inside, so I have always kept mine simple, and although I paid a lot more
attention to the box on this one, I kept to the same beliefs. The beauty is inside. I
always lean to difference and risk in the marketplace, and never more so than with
this deck. It could not be more simple than inverting the original Rounders.

One thing I am glad to have achieved with this, is that although the design couldn’t be
more minimal, the deck does resemble a borderless design, and as this is white, I
hope that it finds its place in the gamblers hands as well as the magician.

A NOTE TO YOU FROM DANIEL MADISON

I tested over 50 different stocks and finishes to find and create my perfect deck of
playing cards.

With both conscious and subconscious influences from the casino industry as well as
my own visceral world I believe that I found something in the Rounders that
represents who I am and what I stand for.

I have always thought that everything beautiful is either intricate or simple, and I am
drawn to the latter, especially in design.

I have stayed true to that idea through every stage of the design and production of
the Madison Rounders.

I wanted to create a deck of cards that somehow reflected my style and ideals
through simplicity. The Madison Rounders are beautifully minimal in design, they are
bold and strong with only three colors used throughout. They host an Ace of Spades
fit for any casino.
With help from Jeff Lianza, Peter Mckinnon, the Ellusionist team and my closest
friends, I am proud to present the Madison Rounders.

“Ho provato più di 50 tipi diversi di cartoncini e di finiture per trovare e creare quello
che per me è il mazzo di carte perfetto. Ho voluto creare un mazzo di carte che in
qualche modo riflettesse, in maniera semplice, il mio stile e i miei ideali. Le carte
Madison Rounders, sono splendidamente minimali nel loro
design, sono audaci e forti con solo tre colori utilizzati in
tutto, ed hanno un asso di picche adatto a qualsiasi
casinò.
Con l'aiuto di Jeff Lianza, Peter Mckinnon, del team di
Ellusionist e dei miei più cari amici, sono orgoglioso di
presentare Madison Rounders.” - Daniel Madison.

Erdnase 1902 Bee Playing Cards – Green Acorn Back

(Cambric Finish)
Siamo lieti di presentare la nuova edizione delle Erdnase 1902 Bee Playing cards.
Questo mazzo di carte con bordatura bianca, è stato disegnato da Guy Hollingworth,
stampato in esclusiva con carta 825 Bee Casinò; ha un rivestimento particolare, che lo
aiuta a durare di più nel tempo; inoltre ha un taglio fantastico (come le Bicycle Playing
Cards Gold Standard by Richard Turner, traditionally cut for the professional) che
permette di realizzare un meraviglioso miscuglio Faro.

1902 Erdnase Smith Back

This THIRD IN A SERIES of Bee Erdnase decks was just made available to members
of the Conjuring Arts Research Center. It is a limited edition release, and sold out
within hours on the Conjuring Arts web site.

These commemorative decks were designed by Guy W.R. Hollingworth and printed on
Bee Casino 825 paper and are made with a special coating to ensure the best
handling. They’ve been cut the same way as Richard Turner has his cut so they faro
and shuffle extremely well.

The Smith Back is named in honor of Marshall D. Smith, the illustrator of The Expert
at the Card Table. The all-over Bee-like pattern is actually made up of tiny
reproductions of the hands in the illustrations of the great card classic. These decks
also use the original faces that were used by U.S. Playing Card Co. in 1902. These
great faces have somewhat larger pips and somewhat smaller indices which combine
to create an unusually attractive face.

The first Smith Back decks, which became available last fall and had black

Insight – RED (Cards and DVD) by Peter Eggink – DVD

Manufacturer: PE Illusions
Artist: Eggink, Peter
Skill Level: Intermediate
Weight (llbs): 0.188

Description
Two Jokers with holes in the center are shown and placed in full view on the table
surface. Next, a spectator freely selects a card and signs his or her initials on its back.
The card is then openly placed in the middle of the pack and shuffled thoroughly. The
magician is making an attempt to find the spectator's card by searching through the
faces.

Although it's NOT the spectator's selection, the magician explains that he's being
drawn to an indifferent random card for some reason. This indifferent card is
sandwiched in-between the two jokers and can be CLEARLY seen through the hole.
Now get ready for a truly MAGICAL moment: With a little wave the card VISUALLY
changes into the spectator's SIGNED card!

The appearance of the spectator's signature through the hole is eye candy of the
highest caliber. This looks like trick photography! Finally the card is removed from in-
between the jokers to show that the card has indeed changed into the spectator's
freely chosen card!

Insight uses a brand new concept that will make you smile. Comes complete with a
full training DVD, hand build gimmick on Bicycle stock and everything else you'll need
to perform this stunning effect. Use your own deck of Bicycle cards.

The full training DVD will guide you step by step on how to perform the routine,
sleights and techniques. Includes a great handling by David Regal.

Ellusionist 1902 Antique Silver Finish Coin – Half

Dollar Size – Magic
Over a year in the making, 1902 are premier antique silver finish coins with a
ferromagnetic core. All the timeless looks of an aged Walking Liberty or Barber Half
without the heavy Silver price tag.
To build the perfect coin we looked to those that had come before. From the Roman
Denarius and 16th Century Ducat, through to the Barber Half Dollar and British penny
- we studied them all looking for the perfect design and the physical aspects that draw
magicians to these small discs of metal.
The 1902 coins feature an unmilled edge which lessens unwanted talk in the hands,
but maintains the friction required for effortless palming. The softly burnished faces
slide smoothly across each other and won’t catch on a close-up mat when performing
a coin matrix.
Shaped to the exact dimensions of silver Kennedy Half-dollars, 1902 coins are a
familiar handshake from a good friend.
FULL OVERVIEW
The coins were designed to look as if they were issued by a secret society from 1902 -
perhaps one to which even Erdnase himself would have belonged. A rumoured
initiation into such societies was the initiate’s wearing of a blindfold to complete a
challenge, representing that until one was granted access to the inner secrets, they
were blind.
The Double-Headed Eagle is the Babylonian symbol of the followers of Ninurta, one of
the oldest secret societies in known history. In Akkadian mythology, Ninurta was the
God of War, who defeated the monster Anzu to obtain the tablets of destiny - tablets
that gave the bearer the power to rule the universe.
'Acta Deos Numquam Mortalia Fallunt' inscribed along the circumference of the coin is
Latin for ‘Mortal Actions Never Deceived the Gods’ whilst the opposite side reads
‘Decipimur Species Recite A Falsis Principiis’ - a bastardisation of ‘Deceived by the
false appearance of the right principles’.
FAST LIST
• The exact dimensions of a Walking Liberty Half Dollar
• Antique Silver Finish
• Ferromagnetic Core - these coins will stick to a magnet, and can be magnetised
themselves
• Unmilled Edges limiting unwanted talk
• Softly burnished faces allow smooth movement across a close up pad
• Scratch & Impact resistant

Ovid's Tristia 1.2.97: si tamen acta deos numquam mortalia fallunt, / a culpa facinus
scitis abesse mea. "Yet if mortal actions never deceive the gods, / you know that
crime was absent from my fault."

Nothing in Transit
Questo effetto farà vivere al vostro pubblico uno dei più strani effetti che abbiano mai
visto da vicino.

EFFETTO: Il prestigiatore fa scegliere liberamente una carta ad uno spettatore, subito

dopo viene mostrata una carta bianca con al centro un grosso buco che permette di
vedere attraverso la carta, il mago spiega che quello è un buco magico, che ha la
capacità di muoversi da una carta all'altra, e lo vuole mostrare, ad un certo punto il
pubblico vedrà nettamente il buco saltare dalla carta bianca alla carta scelta dallo
spettatore, ma non solo, adesso il buco inizia a muoversi sulla carta scelta dallo
spettatore, muovendosi in tutte le direzioni, alla fine il buco ritorna davanti agli occhi
degli spettatori sulla carta bianca, alla fine tutto può essere dato da controllare, non
c'è nulla di strano da vedere!!!
ASSOLUTAMENTE INCREDIBILE QUELLO CHE E' APPENA SUCCESSO!!!

Un effetto geniale che lascia le persone confuse di quello che è appena successo.

Sarete forniti di tutti i gimmick necessari per realizzare l'effetto, e di un DVD istruttivo
in lingua inglese che vi spiegherà tutto nei minimi dettagli.
Anche se il DVD è in inglese, le immagini sono molto chiare per comprendere il
funzionamento dell'effetto.

PRO. Great for parties, in a bar or restaurant, or entertaining friends at home.
The secret is told when the trick is sold. I have been informed that buyers
have purchased these and similar magic supplies, used them to make their
own, and then returned them for refunds. For that reason. NO REFUNDS ON
THIS ITEM. If you are an ethical magician, you will understand this concept.

Quando uscì la prima edizione del Bicycle Ghost Black ne furono realizzati
solamente 5000 esemplari che vennero regalati a personaggi famosi come Banachek o
esperti di cartomagia del calibro di Blaine o Garcia. Ben presto questo mazzo divenne
da collezione raggiungendo quotazioni incredibili, addirittura 450$ a mazzo!
La seconda edizione del mazzo Bicycle Black Ghost presenta alcune novità: i Jolly sono
molto particolari e su uno dei due è presente una previsione, così come ve ne è
un’altra tra i numeri del codice a barre. Poi c’è la grafica delle carte da gioco, ma
quella parla da sé... a dir poco fantastica!
