Gentleman (Bicycle) Playing Cards - Anyone else love these?
Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2019 3:53 pm
Hi all,
I purchased a few decks a few years ago when I got the first stirrings of interest in doing some magic. As is often the case, my interest waned fairly quickly only to return this year in a big way. I've learned quite a few magic tricks, even performed some for family and friends, but primarily have become a card collector. One of the first premium decks I ever purchased was the white Gentleman Bicycle deck produced by The Gambler's Warehouse. The tuck and backs remind me a lot of Theory 11 decks, but the faces of the cards, especially the courts, are what drew me to them. Very stylized and inspired by the 20's through 40's (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/30 ... escription).
I managed to score one of the black gilded editions recently, and am keeping an eye out for one of the white gilded - with red gilding.
