These have always been my favorite cards. I just wish theyw
were sold around me now :( SUppor
your recyclable products!
The color looks amazing. It's like a light darkish green on the
backs. The edges aren't totally white either which looks cool. They have almost like a light grayish
tint to them. That has it's advantage because they don't show wear as much as normal bikes do. Also,
the pips and indexes are in a green color that looks REALLY nice. THe court cards are a little weird
but still they look pretty cool at the same time.
I suggest you try these. The card cases
aren't normal either. They are like a durable recycled cardboard material that looks really nice and
feels really cool too. 5/5!

Man oh MAN, did I not know what to expect when picking up a deck of these cards...
...let
me just say that I am MORE than glad I did!
These cards are crazy; below is my review of
each facet.
Case:
The case of these cards is really nice as it is made of a LOT
heavier cardboard than other cases. If you are like me and don't have a card clip, then this is a
facet that you really can't overlook. These have been in the pocket of doom (which is what I call my
pocket that for some reason destroys cards) for weeks and the box hasn't even been scathed. For this
reason alone, this deck of cards is worth four dollars.
Stock:
The stock on these
babies is CRAZY awesome. Feeling smoother and easier to manipulate than ANY other bicycle deck I
have ever felt, there truly is a good reason to use re-usable inks and sustainable paper!
Color:
The colors of these cards (not just the backs either; the faces have a nice
green shade to them too) is a brilliant green color that is really nice and warm to a viewing
audience without straying from that oh-so familiar bicycle back design. If only all decks looked
like this...
Overall, I have to say that these and steamboats are tied for my favorite
deck of all time. Pick some of these up, do yourself a favour and help save the environment.

Hi. This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.
I'm a big fan of collecting
Bicycle cards, so for me this is a good purchase. They are fun, people talk about them, and they can
be very entertaining to use for a poker night, game night, etc. These cards, being recycled, still
have a nice smooth finish and seem to wear very nicely.
I warn AGAINST using any unnatural
looking cards for performing magic. Many people think it makes them look unique, which it does, but
not in the good way they may think. It bring unnecessary skepticism and awkwardness from your
spectators who may think even normal looking cards can be faked.
I urge you to not use
designer cards for any serious magic performance.
