It doesn’t seem like 5 years since we were looking at the Bicycle Cards 125th Anniversary cards – but the 130th Anniversary Deck has now landed and so it must be!
Featuring a really attractive wheel design this looks like a definite for collectors and magicians alike. Available in blue and red backs.
Also available is the new Anne Stokes’ Steampunk design for £5.99.
I find it harder to categorise the Essence Lux Bicycle Cards. I’m a big fan of the solid fills on the faces – and the court cards in particular look fabulous. But the tuck case is pretty ugly to my mind, and I’m not entirely convinced by the back design. But I haven’t seen them in person – and sometimes photos fail to tell the whole story. £11.99
A similarly mixed design is the Ancient Machine deck – now available. A limited edition of 4000 – each one individually numbered – means they’re probably worth the £9.49 price tag.
The even more limited run (1000 decks only) of the Plugged Nickel Deck will appeal to you if you like the wild west, and dead people! An eye-catching deck to be sure – £13.49.
And if you want to get ahead of the curve, the striking Virtuoso deck isn’t released yet – it is due in a week or so. It looks like it will be a fabulous flourishing/fanning deck. £12.49.
