regular bikes and poker decks in general have been out of place in the uk for a long wile but now with the uk's facination with poker its getting better.

I personally don't really like the fancy pants cards for normal performing because they just don't look normal. I usually stick with red backed bikes. Although I have got a pack of pink bikes, just because I love the colour of them.

I do think that some of the custom decks work well for certain routines and situations. I love using my pink cards on valentines day, I actually bought the to use during a friend's hen night and they worked really well for that too.

I only use red backed bikes for performance even thoe I have other colours for my own amusment i.e to practise with so it makes it pointless me buying them because no one else ever sees them.

Red or Blue backed Bikes for me.
I'll never buy a pack of Tally-Hos ever again, because the last pack of Tallys I cracked open, all the cards were different widths (in blocks of about 5 or 6 cards). Impossible pack for DLs and palms. Straight in the bin with disgust.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but...who cares lol

Ghosts, Tigers, Regular They're all the same stock just printed differently (Realise I'm pointing out the blatant obvious lol )

Ghosts, Tigers, Masters, Vipers are NOT the same stock as regulars. let's not make up "stories".

from a "use" point of view, I like the Masters personally because they look normal yet handle better.

from a purely asthetic point of view, I like Vipers.

Couldn't agree with you more.

I must confess I picked up a lot of these cards (especially Ghosts and Vipers) but, whenever actually performing, I never use them. Other than for the fact that they attrct suspicion and all that, if I try to incorporate my ID or RC or other special deck (all red backed bikes) I need a regular deck of red bikes too - and that all just means too many decks, too few pockets!! They look really good on my desk though - but that's where they stay. Nice-looking collection!

I personally don't see the point in buying weird and wonderful cards for anything other than personnal amusement. I got my aunty to bring me back some 'proffessional' cards for Las Vegas last year but that was more for my personnal collection.

In general I use blue backed bikes then sometimes switch to red for colour changes and the like. I like my cards to look as plain as possible but handle well.

I can never feel much of a difference between masters decks and a normal deck. I have to admit in my early days of magic I did like the look of those cards and used them for a fair ammount of time. I soon realised that there was no point, and got back on to regular bikes. For some reason however I only like red backed bikes. I can't stand blue backed ones.

I have to admit that the tally ho vipers do look good for flourishing.

Hmm not every one likes it when they go to a thread and find it locked because of your "witty" remarks.


And to get the thread back on track. Ghost deck for me well Red backed bikes but ghosts look nice.

Not correct. The thread was locked by me for other reasons.

I like Ghost decks the best from Elusionist. But I also like just normal bikes and Pinochle decks, cuase they come with doubles. I have Ghost Gaff and Tiger, but the normal ghost I like best.
