I just received 3 decks of Bicycle Alchemist Decks. I like the cards and the are nice looking and handle well. Just curious as to who had these printed. They look like a "special" printing like Ellusionist or Theory 11 would do but I've have not seen these advertised anywhere except on E-bay. They have a gold back, and deck includes a blank face. double backer and 2 reveals on the box. Anyone know anything about these?

My understanding is that they were produced by the ebay dealer Aceking. They were designed by a graphic designer and magician named Stephen Rooks and marketed by Aceking. It also appears that the initial run of these was pretty small at 1,000 - 2,000 decks.

I know Stephen, he is a british artist living in Germany for a while and designed these cards. But he only did the artwork, the printing was done by the guy in the USA.

Thanks for info!

Steve Rooks did the design and the print was done in the US by USPCC.
The main distribution of his decks is done now by me via http://www.diavoli.de

Cool looking deck. I also have the Alchemist X.

Alchemist Deck has (at least) three one way marking and it's so subtle, I love it.
