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!

Limited Edition Gold-on-Gold

The box is just as breathtaking as the cards within it. For the first time, Monarchs are printed with gold foil on gold paper, deeply embossed and - now more than ever - truly fit for a king.

 

Gold Foil Card Backs

Unlike ANY other Playing Cards

For six months, we’ve been keeping one secret closely guarded. In collaboration with USPC, we began testing an experimental new process, for the first time applying gold foil DIRECTLY on the back of playing cards.

The cards are then processed with Bicycle’s most durable finish - resulting in a card that spreads, fans, shuffles, and tears just like a normal playing card. Based on research at USPC, they’re 400% more durable and 30% more flexible than any other foil application. Scratch them, twist them, tear them, bend them - the foil doesn’t come off.

The most limited deck ever released by Theory11, with less than 1 gross being sold. This deck is not an officially released print run but rather the result of a mistake in printing. During the implementation of metallic gold to the deck the execution of printing was not up to standard and the full run was trashed - with the exception of a gross. This deck should be considered an "error" deck rather than a full public release deck. For those looking for the Gold Monarchs featuring hot foil gold on the cards (rather than just metallic gold) please refer to the later edition here: https://www.Portfolio52.com/deck/3690/view
