FAQs

Are these cards suitable for professional magicians?

Yes, the unique visual appeal and reliable performance of the Air-Cushion finish make them suitable for professional magic performances.

How does the MetalLuxe® foil differ from standard printing?

MetalLuxe® involves stamping real metal foil onto the card backs, creating a luminous, reflective surface that is more brilliant and visually striking than standard ink printing.

Can I wash these cards if they get dirty?

It is not recommended to wash these cards. If they get dirty, gently wipe them with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaking or using cleaning agents.

What is the 'Air-Cushion® finish'?

The Air-Cushion finish is a patented process that creates thousands of tiny air pockets within the card surface, allowing cards to glide smoothly over each other for superior playability and durability.

Are these cards suitable for children?

Yes, these cards are suitable for children and adults, as they are printed with non-toxic, plant-based inks.

How many decks are included in this purchase?

This product is for one deck of Bicycle METALLUXE CRIMSON RIDER BACK playing cards.

Where are these cards manufactured?

These Bicycle playing cards are printed in the USA.

Troubleshooting

Cards feel sticky or difficult to shuffle.

Ensure the cards are clean and dry. If recently opened, the finish might need a short break-in period. Avoid exposing them to moisture or excessive humidity.

Foil on the back appears to be peeling or scratched.

This can occur with heavy use or rough handling. Store cards properly and handle them with care to minimize wear on the foil. Gentle wiping with a dry, soft cloth may remove minor surface scuffs.

Cards feel different from standard Bicycle decks.

The MetalLuxe® finish and premium card stock provide a distinct feel. This is normal and contributes to the deck's unique handling characteristics. Allow some time to adjust to the feel.

Pros and Cons

  • Visually stunning with its metallic foil finish.
  • Excellent handling and performance due to the Air-Cushion finish.
  • Durable construction suitable for frequent use.
  • Adds a touch of luxury to card games and magic performances.
  • Appeals to both casual players and serious collectors.

Cons

  • The metallic foil may be more susceptible to scratching than standard card finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These cards come ready to use straight out of the box. There is no specific setup required beyond shuffling them before your first game.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard card games and suitable for various card handling disciplines like magic and cardistry. They function identically to standard playing cards in terms of game rules.

Care:

  1. Handling: While durable, avoid excessive bending or creasing to preserve the integrity of the card stock and the foil finish.
  2. Cleaning: If cards become soiled, gently wipe them with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the cards in water, as this can damage the foil and card stock.
  3. Storage: Store the deck in its original box or a protective card case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and maintain the card's condition.
  4. Shuffling: Use standard shuffling techniques. The Air-Cushion finish aids in smooth shuffles, but aggressive or rough shuffling may still lead to wear over time.
