This is a fantastic quality deck. It comes straight from Bicycle themselves. It comes with a 3 card
monte routine which I have been performing for years.
True story, when I was in high school
(over 10 years ago) before i had my license I would ride the bus. While waiting for the bus there
was a guy trying to hussle me in 3 card monte. Luckily at age 16 I knew how to play (and not to) the
game. I refused to play, but knew where the card was.
Later he came up to me, saw me
playing with the cards and I did this 3 card monte to him. This was a real street worker who knew
how to throw the cards. I blew him away with this gimmicked version. I highly recommend this.

I got this deck and didn't really know what to do with it. It's a nice Bicycle deck that functions
just as well as any other Bicycle deck, but it has a unique look to it.
It's very hard to
tell from more than a few inches away that it is NOT a very old deck. It's printed extremely well
and does look like it's very old. I really like the way it looks.
As I said, I was
having a hard time coming up with something to use the deck with, and then it hit me while I was
performing another effect...the old looking deck would be absolutely PERFECT for a Haunted Deck
routine!!!
So I set to work on making a Haunted Deck with the Faded 808s, and I have to
say that I am more than happy with the end result. The old looking cards really help to sell the
idea that the deck is haunted.
Overall, I'm really happy with the quality of this
product.

I received this deck FREE. When I opened it to my surprise it had the Monte set inside. Extra
bonus! When people see them they ask how old are the cards. They really do look used and old, but
with a new deck feel. If you like collecting decks like me...then add to cart...add these to your
collection.

This deck looks sweet. I love it! The only thing is that since the cards are actually new, even
though they're made to look old, u can kind of tell they're not.. They still look really cool
though, I just don't want to use them because right now they're all nice and smooth haha.. The
included gaffs are cool too..

I have hundreds of decks. This one feels good as well as looks good. The cards are neither TOO
slick or TOO sticky. Because each card is not the same, it's easy to present this as "the oldest
deck I own." This is good in some routines because people, more and more ( due to media ) looking
for trick decks.
In the days when just about everyone else is using the same kinds of decks of cards, these look
really exceptional. They are cut well, and just as sturdy as any other deck, but have an old-school
look to them that is well worth the extra cost. Full on!
