This review is from: Bicycle Magic Playing Cards (Board Game)
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I was tricked by a deck of trick cards.
This package includes two decks. One is a trimmed deck, where one edge of the cards is slimmer and enables the old "pick a card, any card" and a few other routines which rely on being able to pick a card out of a deck by feel. The second deck is a completely standard deck of Bicycle playing cards, and the instructions that are included tell you to mark that second deck yourself, whether with ink or by making indentations in the surface of the cards with a pin.
The trimmed deck is great. You can get up and running in just a few minutes feeling out the cards and astonishing your friends and family. But since the second deck is identical to any deck of cards you could buy for as little as $1.25 here on Amazon, you're paying a premium price for a two products combined that could be bought more cheaply separately.
