Ellusionist Bicycle 1800 Vintage Playing Cards Red

I am going to answer most of your questions that you may have.1. BoxIf you look at the picture model, you see that the front of the box has borders. What you will receiving will not have borders. ( Picture 1 )2. CardsThe cards are , in fact, marked. It will have the number and then the suit. ( AS = Ace of Spades, Pictures 2&3 )3. The Four Extra CardsThe four cards are: Intro to the series 1800, two Jokers, and one Queen of Hearts Blue Back. ( Yes, you will have two Queen of Spades, one Blue Back and one Red Back. Pictures 4&5 )

This is a seriously awesome Marked deck! So great that I bought extras of each blue and red. So if these ever go off sale here at Amazon and Ellusion stops printing them. Gimme a call. I will hook ya up.As far as the cards go. They handle freakin amazing. Right out of the box they spread, and shuffle as though mechanically inclined to do so. When I picked up this deck I gained a +18 to my card handling abilities. Ok, not really. But they still handle like a dream.The Marks on this deck are by far the BEST marks I have ever seen. They are so well hidden from the spectator it's not even funny. Yet once you know where they are and LEARN what they look like it is a breeze to read them. I have quite a few tricks using marked cards and love to use these old faded, burned, wetted, 1800 bicycle cards. The Markings are easy to read and their level of trickery (hidden so darn well!) help to have the confidence that the "Mark" won't see the "Marks".If I ever get a chance to use these to play poker against ISIS or any of its supporters I will cheat and take all there money using these cards. And no, I will not give it back to them, because frankly, I do not support terrorism.Bonus: there is a reverse color back (blue) queen in the deck. It's a card for doing color change tricks and is an EXTRA card! So to the person that complained that it was the "wrong card" ha! Look through your deck. Hmmmm, that might be to hard for ya......

Fantastic Deck, not only are the cards have a good slide to them but they are beautiful.Really enjoyed the EXTRA Blue Queen of Hearts.Just so all the people who only gave 1 star and complained they didn't get a full deck.Look at your deck again, you got a full deck:52 red cards1 extra for magic tricks of a BLUE Queen of Hearts2 jokers1 advertising cardI just bought 2 more decks.

Just a GORGEOUS, artificially aged deck. VERY authentic looking. The marks on the backs of the cards are invisible unless you know the secret.Ellusionist.com really knows how to make quality card decks.I'm going to buy another deck and some roughing fluid and make an Invisible Deck with that one..YouTube David Blaine doing the Invisible Deck and watch him absolutely floor a spectator and leave him speechless.Thanks Ellusionist.com.

I love these cards! It's like playing with cards my grandparents had. They have this cool antique look to them, and the larger size (compared to poker cards) is okay by me. I just love them. My wife thought they smelled funny when we first opened the pack, but a couple days later the ink smell had dissipated and everything's cool. Just love 'em. History in the making!

So I really like and dislike this deck for a couple of reasons. For one, the design of the worn deck is an impressive way to hide the markings. It's a reader deck so it's simple to tell which cars is which from the back. It's also well hidden so it would be difficult for spectators to catch that the deck is marked. The markings blend in well which is a big plus.The only thing I don't like about them is that they look dirtier and more worn out than I thought. It's almost an unprofessional look because it looks so gross. It doesn't seem like a well used deck as much as it looks like a well abused deck. If you can get past that though it seems like a nice deck

These are awesome. I use them for magic tricks, I have one about an old gambler and how he would only need one card when he played poker to have a flush or royal flush depending on the audience...... when you tell the tale and how you got his special deck but the "one" card that the spectator picks at random shows up in the hand it blows them away. Here are these old cards and one "new" one makes the trick that much more surprising at the end. They handle well and can be used for anything that you want to make special.

My favorite deck of cards. They're not going to "fool" people that handle them that they're actually a real vintage set of cards. They feel like new cards. But they will add nice variety to your next card game, look really cool on a table, handle well, and feel like quality. Oh, and yes, these were very discretely marked on the backs, as was listed in the product description. See other reviewers' pics. I'm not looking to cheat people, so I'm sure I could use these in an informal game just as regular cards and no one would know the difference. But it's nice to have the option of pulling out for a magic trick; it just adds to the value. Cool, useful novelty cards with a nice little bonus. If you're looking to use these in a stakes poker game, YMMV.

A really nice pack of cards to use. The marking is extremely subtle and the pack contains a gaffed card which is useful for a number of tricks. I would recommend the cards unhesitatingly.

Carte che scivolano davvero bene, a distanza di un anno scorrono ancora molto bene. Provate in pubblico e facendo una prova, il segno che indica il seme e il numero della carte è individuabile da un possibile spettatore in 5/7 minuti se si lascia il mazzo completamente a sua disposizione.

赤いカードセットを買ったのに一部黒色のカードが混入していた。赤フルセットに一枚余計に黒の♡Qが。カードが欠けてる訳じゃないからよかったけど……
