The Bicycle Glider Back deck is a 100% custom deck of playing cards featuring origami-inspired artwork. The back design has paper gliders in an appealing geometric layout against a vibrant blue background. The traditional-looking back also contains a devious but easy-to-learn coded marking system that allows you to identify the suit and value of each card.

We sent a sample deck to one of the world's foremost experts on marked cards, but we didn't explain the system to him. His first response was, "I tried to work it out with the riffle test - couldn't see ANYTHING - I did eventually work it out but d*** that is well hidden. I was starting to wonder if you were winding me up!"

So before you view the instructions on how to read the cards, see if you can figure out the system on your own!

The court and spot cards are designed to look as if they've been folded out of paper, and the whole package is contained in a striking custom tuck box with a custom seal.

Printed in the USA on traditionally-cut Classic stock with embossed Magic finish by the United States Playing Card Company, Bicycle Glider Back playing cards are printed using vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates on FSC-certified paper sourced from sustainable forests. This means the cards not only shuffle, fan, and spread perfectly for all of your favorite games & tricks, they're made with the environment in mind!

Introducing the remake of the original parrot deck! This deck is even more intense than the first deck - while the original featured 52 unique parrot species, this one showcases well over 200. The deck is also in glorious full color, both front and back. Each card is richly illustrated with 1 or more parrots. In another improvement, the deck will also be printed by the United States Playing Card Company.

Nearly every genus from the Psittaciforme order is shown in the cards, which are organized by region. The Spades show parrots from South America, The Hearts show parrots from Australia. The Clubs feature parrots from Indonesia and the Pacific Islands, and finally, the Diamonds show parrots from Africa, mainland Asia, and the Philippines (there's a bit of overlap between the Clubs and Diamonds).

Every card has a unique illustration, with 1 to 10 parrots on it, corresponding with the card number. The courts are illustrated in the classic style with mirrored faces. Please note gilding may wear off with regular use.

The world is teeming with organisms capable of producing their own light. This phenomenon is known as bioluminescence. The Bioluminescent playing cards celebrate the various beings of the land, sea, and air that are capable of this amazing and beautiful feat.

Designed by Douglas Fuchs, the Bioluminescent deck has 100% custom artwork featuring sea creatures, insects, fungi, and more. All of the art of the backs, faces, and the tuck box are accented by special UV ink that glows under a blacklight*.

The box and back have a deep purple and blue color scheme. The court cards and jokers each feature a different creature, while two included info cards label the various species. All of your favorites are here - lightning bugs, angler fish, and many you may not yet know!

Bioluminescent playing cards feature Penguin's exclusive UltraLux™ Finish and AquaFlow™ Coating. The casino-grade European card stock and perfect linen texture deliver a deck that handles like an absolute dream. The cards are modern cut with smooth edges that provide just the right amount of grip.

Printed with vegetable-based inks and water-based coating, the cards are planet-friendly as well! Bioluminescent decks are soft enough to get to work straight out of the box, but durable enough to meet the needs of a full-time magician, cardist, or card sharp.

What's more - the Bioluminescent deck is a finely-cut stripper deck! The cards are factory-cut using a special punch that gives the cards a slightly tapered shape. Imperceptible to the naked eye, this becomes a powerful tool in the magician's arsenal when one or more cards are reversed 180 degrees in the deck!

The Bioluminescent decks are available individually, or in a 6-pack with a custom collector's box.

Stripper Deck

A completely custom deck of playing cards based on the Elder Futhark, the oldest runic alphabet from Germanic & Nordic tribes. You will find a total of 24 runic letters used on the number & court cards. The runes on the aces spell out the corresponding suit and the jokers feature a decorative octagram. The main feature of the back design is based on the famous rune circles. A double back & informational card are also included.

Besides using this as a fun unique deck for your next card game, it is also perfect for performing mysterious themed magic tricks and using for cartomancy.

Please note this is a modified version of the Runes decks. A stripper deck is a deck that has been specially cut to be slightly tapered off on one side which allows you to perform various magic tricks. Instructions are not included but various resources can easily be found online.
