It was time to buy more fuchsia playing cards but found out they were no longer available as they
were made for breast cancer one year. I found them on this site which was great as we play Spite
and Malice which requires five decks. The only downfall is that the decks only have one joker and
normally there are two jokers in each deck of cards. The jokers are required in the game we play as
they are wild. If you want great playing cards for games that don't require the two jokers then I
would highly recommend these cards.

Beautiful Color. Bicycle Stock, great feel & handles so well, just like all Bicycle Playing Cards.
They're collectible and inexpensive. Oh, and they're bikes. Get them.
As others have noted, the actual cards look slightly different than the pictures on the web. The
pictures lean more towards lavender/purple than the actual cards, which are closer to the pink side
of the spectrum.
They look nice. I use one of these fuchsia decks for an effect where I
write on the backs of the cards with a black marker. The marker shows up very well, even better
than on a red deck. It's a great choice for something like "Foolish Cheater" - the color makes your
"marked deck" even more interesting.
One caveat I found is that for color change effects,
low/dim light in a bar or restaurant might be a problem. At lower levels of lighting, the fuchsia
color and regular red cards look surprisingly alike.
If you go from red to fuchsia in a
multiple color change routine, the spectator might not even notice that anything has changed. And
in a "rainbow" reveal (several colors side by side), the spectator may need to lean close - and will
be even more tempted to pick up the cards - to distinguish the fuchsia from the red.
BUT... if the lighting isn't an issue, a nice bonus is that this deck includes a red-fuchsia
double-backer. (The other gaffs are a blank face and a fuchsia-fuchsia double-backer.)
That's helpful for anyone interested in making alternate color combinations for Strangers
Gallery (or looking to replace the gaffs or otherwise build your own set at times when the regular
SG set is out of stock).
This deck has red-fuchsia, the orange Bicycle decks have
red-orange, and you can pop in a red-blue to make a red-based trio. Or add this deck to the
turquoise and green decks to complete a trio with fuchsia. (Those decks have turquoise-fuchsia and
green-fuchsia double-backers as one of their gaffs.)
As long as you have sufficient light
for the spectators to distinguish the fuchsia from red, it works.
Color turns out nicer than in the pictures. Quality wise it is like normal Bicycle deck
Really like the gaff cards that come with the colored riders. Still looking for burgundy and purple
riders.
beautiful bouquets with colorful spines, with a very good price attached to each deck a couple of
cards made up, for magicians creative indispensable.
Good quality as any deck of bicycle, but in a different colour. It's so funny to do a deck change
from a blue deck to this:P it's really surprising!
