I believe that some of us prefer to use black back, lime green back, pink back, baby blue back and etc bicycle decks.
here comes the problem..is there any gimmick card stock with different color backing so that we can carry on to do our magic effect... What I m refering is DBL BACK, DBL BLANK, ETc.... |

I guess this where you start to think about buying that "art of card splitting" dvd so you can make your own.

Well seems like there is only three choices...
1) we wait for US Playing Company to produce them. 2) buy art of card spliting DVD. 3) Get back to normal red and blue decks with you can obtains gimmick cards with bicycle stocks in red and blue backs. Well, I still need some information, does any one knows where to get black back bicycle decks with black faces. I need them to create an effect. As I bought a dozen of bicycle black decks and I love to use them.. Does anyone have any source on this..? Thanks |

Ellusionist.com pretty much has the exclusive on Black Bikes. They now produce several gimmicked decks with their "Black Tiger" decks, including the ones you're looking for.

Thanks Dave for the kindful help..but its not that kind of tiger black deck that I m looking for. What I m looking for is just like normal bicycle cards just that the design of the back is printed with black not the entire card is black. Hope that I make this clear.

Daryl recently gave a (phenomenal) lecture at our club. Someone asked why Fiedler's Flyer wasn't available in blue back, only red (Rider). Daryl replied that US Playing Card Co. requires a minimum order of 10,000 cards (!) for a gaffed card. And that it is hard enough to sell 10,000 cards. Since so many magi (including Daryl) have, for whatever reason, settled on red, most gaffs are in that color, and that color only.
So I guess, splitting is the way to go, if you absolutely must have a particular gaff in a different back. P.S. None of the few professional magicians I know feels any need to go with any gaff other than the red rider backed bicycles. kerpa a/k/a Michael Miller Chicago area

Get a hold of some Tactical Field Decks. These have black and green backs. There faces are "normal". The red suits are a bit darker than the red/blue backed bikes. edh

You might want to try asking Neil Lester if he could make you the necessary gaffs. Contact him at http://www.cardsbymartin.com
