If you loved the Karnival Deck, then you better get yourself over to BBM quickly before their limited edition Uncut Karnival Sheets sell out. Apparently only 100 being sold. Yours for £25 + P&P.

Bicycle Karnival Deck – first impressions

Some shots of the new Karnival Deck from BBM

Well, the sample cards arrived this morning, and the montage above was all I could get done before the call of the bed. First thoughts…

When is a Bicycle Card not a Bicycle Card? There is not a Bicycle in sight on this deck! But of course they are printed by USPCC on classic Bicycle stock, so they handle well and familiarly.

The design is certainly striking. The wife’s verdict is ‘a bit morbid’ so maybe not a design for the ladies. I’m intrigued by the way the design drifts into ’specks’ and overruns the borders – somehow giving a slightly ‘aged’ feel to the cards.

As the pre-advertising has said, there are some reveals on the cards – see pic for zoom on 3 of Hearts reveal on one of the Jokers. There is also a barcode reveal (seven of spades) on the box. The double-backed gimmick will be useful for many effects, and the advertising card – well, its an advertising card.

If you’ve got to have every new deck, you’ll want one. If you like to perform slightly more unusual (darker?) magic, you’ll probably want one too. Maybe you just want a change. They’re here in time for Haloween (just) which is probably no co-incidence.

And did I mention they’re only available from www.bigblindmedia.com.

Karnival Deck officially released… almost

The folk at BBM have made a big song and dance about their new Karnival Deck and you can order it on their website now. However, they won’t actually ship until October 21st. We’re expecting a review deck in any day now so will give you the low down then.

The folks at BBM are trickling out info about this new deck. Completely new artwork (so is it still a Bicycle Deck?) on high grade USPCC stock. Includes a free double backer, and there are two card reveals built in to the card case and one of t he jokers respectively.

Launch date now looks like late October. But as usual, if you sign up for the BBM mailing list there are likely to be special offers and more information as it is available. We’ll let you know what we think when we get are hands on a deck.
