These double face playing cards are great! They fit right in with my Bicycle and Tally Ho decks, the 2 most common decks I use. They can be used for a variety of effects. Some have the same face on both sides while others have a variety of opposite faces (there are even Joker gimmicks included). By having a whole deck of these I can be sure that I will have everything I need to perform some awesome card magic for a long time to come! Thanks Vanishing Inc.

These Double Face playing cards fit in perfectly with any regular deck of Bicycle cards. Using them with the Bicycle Short Deck that I also bought from Vanishing Inc allows for lots of extra effects. I was looking for the right combination of Double Face Aces (red Ace with a black card / black Ace with a red card) so this pack was perfect for my needs. Thanks.

These gaffs are Bicycles so the quality is up there. Also comes with a few tutorials which are really clever. I always keep a backup of double facers for tricks such as Anniversary Waltz, McDonalds Aces etc. There are some interesting combos, good to get this with the mis-indexed cards as well. There are enough duplicates as well to keep you going. I can recommend this.

 

Garry

Great, mine came with a good choice of double facers, very usefull to have if you no how to use these cards.

 

Rob

I order these all the time and they're great. Exactly what you'd expect: double face bicycle playing cards. Wide assortment of all different cards; some have jokers or blanks on one face, just FYI.

 

Vernon

Standard double faced cards look just like any other bicycle deck. Quality is great.

 

Micah

This is a great gaffed deck of cards. You will get a deck of fifty-six (including two double faced jokers and blank cards) double faced cards. If you want to do tricks with random double faced cards, or you want to do mcdonalds aces this is for you. This is an amazing deck of cards and I recommend you get it.

 

David

Just as expected, Bicycle quality cards with double faces to use for your favorite tricks. No backs obviously, so you can use them with any standard Bike deck.

 

Thomas

I love these! The pips and indexes work with all the basic red and blue rider backs, and a slew of other, similar cards as well. Essentially, two sets of double face cards come in the box, so if one desired to do so, these could be used to load several decks for different effects, just like other gaff cards... the bonus to using double faced cards is that practically NO ONE expects the use of double faced cards, lol.
These cards are GREAT!!

These cards are perfect bicycle quality, they will suit me just fine… the only issue is (insert tired joke about the back color here). Other than that, these cards exactly what I need.

 

Maksymilian

Great gaff deck to perform miracles such as Anniversary Waltz, and with Bicycle quality. You can perform anything that needs the double facers using cards that come with this deck. If you need the double faced cards buy this one.

 

Ed

What to say about double face playing cards? Well, these are fantastic bicycle quality and will fit seamlessly in your deck of cards, for tricks like Anniversary. The only reason why it loses a point for me, is because we continue to get face cards where the value is the same on both sides, eg. queen of hearts / queen of hearts. What are they used for?!

I was actually expecting to get a deck with all cards following the same logic, such as Hearts/Spades, Diamonds/Clubs, with values adding 13 (so the exception would be the Kings). But I actually got different kinds of double faced cards, which will work for me. Not sure if this pack is always the same or if it can vary. So if you need specific cards to be back to back, I recommend contacting the support just to make sure you will get what you need.

Quality is standard USPCC - so no problems there. But you never know what you get (perhaps depending on the supplier). My first deck was OK in that sense that I could find all values of card on both sides of the deck. This deck came with a round sticker "Official Bicycle DOUBBLE FACE Magic Deck" on it.
The second deck has a photo copied Murphy's Magic wrapper around it - this deck has three times the same cards namely KS/8H, QS/9H, JS/10H, 10S/JH, 9S/QH, 8S/KH, 7S/AC, 7H/AD and only once the cards AS/4H, 2S/3H, 3S/2H, 4S/AH, 5S/Joker, 5H/Joker, 6S/Blank, 6H/Blank. The result is that I do not have full deck of values whichever way I turn the cards!

It's hard to give this a true review but for my purposes, it's just not great. In an effort to appease a wide group of people, you get a deck that is a hodge podge of random double facers that may or may not be useful for you. For example: one side is a Joker, one side is blank, both sides the same card. There are 16 (out of 52!) of these types of cards in my pack, which are not useful for me. Then the other ones...many of them are annoyingly close together in number (6/7, 10/J, etc). I would've liked the cards to be more contrasting. So all in all, it's a pretty awful deck for me. But might be great for your purposes/needs.

  Post an answer to this question

• Robert asks: Are the double face cards in the bicycle box, made by bicycle or United states playing card company. Is the quality the same as a regular deck of bicycle playing cards.

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: They are made by USPCC and as such, the quality is identical to a normal deck.

• Peter asks: can I get a complete deck (52 cards) - mates back to back -ie: king of spades backed to king of clubs, QS backed to QC -2D backed to 2H and so on for entire 52 cards. THANKS

  • 1. SGKYDUYEN answers: Sorry but I don't think that deck is available

  Post an answer to this question

• Connor asks: If I order 2 decks will they be printed the same. Example Qd / 4s on both decks?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Yes, as they are uniformly printed at the USPS factory.

• Sebastian asks: Since USPCC prints these double face playing cards all the same way, is there a way to know which double facers are included? I am looking for some specific combinations and would love to know if these are included here, since I have enough indifferent double facers at home.

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Unfortunately we do not know the combinations of double facers included in this deck.

• Sean asks: Are the double facers made in such a way as to have one side appear in new deck order and the other side seem random or shuffled?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Unfortunately not.

• Ted asks: I'm looking for a King of Hearts/Eight of Spades card and the 4queens with a spot card on the back (not the aces). Do you sell anything like what is required above? Can it be special ordered?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Probably your best bet is to learn to split cards yourself (I highly recommend Blake Vogt's Masterclass: Live to learn this - I'd tried to split cards for 20 odd years and could never do it. 5 minutes after learning Blake's method I could do it). Or, you contact a specialist card gaffer to get them to make what you need.

• Buster asks: Are these available in Blue Bicycle back? ...I'm sorry. I used to work in magic shops, and we actually got this question from time to time.

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Yes, they are! :)

• Curt asks: Does this deck contain a double with a joker as one of the sides?

  • 1. SGKYDUYEN answers: Mine have it - two double-faced with a Joker a one side but I'm not sure if it comes with every deck

• Micah asks: What is the other card on the aces. I want to perform Mcdonald's aces and they have to have indifferent cards.

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: It's a variety, but there will be at least three aces suitable for Macdonald's Aces.

• Youyuan asks: Is it possible to have a deck of all the double backers the same? For example, a deck of 52 double backers with one side AD and the other side QH.

  • 1. Youyuan answers: Sorry I mean the double facer cards all the same.

  Post an answer to this question

• Sieko asks: Is one of the sides in new deck order and the other in a mixed order ? I am looking for a deck that is mixed on one side and in new deck order on the other side.

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: They are in a random configuration. Box sides are mixed.

• David asks: Does this include the Joker/5C cards.

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: It does not

• Christopher asks: Could I use this deck to assemble the Tamed Cards routine from Tommy Wonder or are they so randomly printed that there is no way to know ahead of time if I'd get the correct cards or something similar as in court cards on one side and number card on the other?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: You are better off by just buying a Tamed Cards set since the double facers are randomly printed.

• Joseph asks: Do you have a deck of double faced Bicycle cards that are all regular jokers on one side, and the guarantee card jokers on the opposite sides?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: No, and we're not aware of a deck like that existing. You'd need to make them yourself. Here's a free tutorial teaching you how to do it in four minutes! https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/card-magic/learn-to-split-cards-in-four-minutes/

• John asks: Do any jokers have a face card on the other side?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Unsure, but you may find this useful: https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/card-magic/learn-to-split-cards-in-four-minutes/ :)

• Danny asks: I need a deck where on one side the deck looks like a random shuffled deck, on the reverse side, the cards are in new deck order. Will this handle that?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: No this will not do that for you. What you need is exactly one of the decks we had specially made for Joshua Jay's most recent release, "Reverse Logic".
