An American original, the Bicycle® brand celebrates over 130 years of playing card history with the reproduction of an early card back design called Autocycle #1 produced from 1901-1906.  The intricate design depicts a rider on a motorized bicycle.  The graphics used on the box design were inspired by hand-drawn elements from an 1892 Bicycle® Juniors deck.

V1 has a custom foil seal and tuck embossing.

Madison Kittens are a marked, GAFFED-deck in ultimate stealth mode. With the Kittens deck you'll never be asked that again. Completely unassuming in design, but devastating in function. Even if you told them the truth they wouldn't believe you. - Normal deck of 52 cards for regular magic effects. - Angle Z Gimmick - Duplicate card... you know why. - Monte Gimmick - Fully. Freaking. Marked. This deck allows you to open with the ultimate ice-breaker (a hilariously bad 'cat' deck), but close with the power of 10,000 panthers riding unicorns through your spectators head.

Killer Bees are the mutant hybrid of timid European honey bees and their African cousins.  Like all superhero stories, the Killers were introduced to Brazil by mad scientists to help re-populate their diminishing Bee population.  But no-one could contain them... In 1957, 26 swarms escaped quarantine and declared war on the western hemisphere.  Danger lurking in the skies, these villains will stalk their victims for up to 1/2 a mile..  We wanted to capture the darker bodies of these cold-face killers in our deck. Creating a harsh black back with toxic-waste yellow honeycomb spilt on the back.  The black faces display custom pips and hold a sinister simplicity. Like something you'd expect to see on a discarded barrel of methylamine.  Killer Bees are the result of an unsanctioned lab experiment when toxic-waste spilled into a delicate hive of Honey Bees.

Introduced in 1899 as #19 and dicontinued in 1917, Chainless was only offered in red or blue and was meant to celebrate the technological advancements made on the bicycle at the turn of the century.

Whiskey is as American as apple pie. The oak tree on the front of the tuck box and seal - a symbol of the aging process for fine bourbon, matured in charred oak barrels to develop the distinct smoky flavour. This oak motif continues throughout the cards, from the Ace of Spades right around to the back design.

 

While bars before prohibition were predominantly male domains, in the 1920's many women flocked to speakeasies in their best flapper attire. We've taken inspiration from images of the era to design the court cards, the art-deco was very in-vogue at the time.
