Does anyone know anywhere that sells the mind power deck but in bicycle form? Not the cheap brand of cards?

I don't think the Mindpower Deck was ever produced in Bicycle.

It has not been.
If you are worried about the odd back (You should'nt be) p.m. and I will give you an idea that some of the guys in Vegas use to kind of take care of it. |

If you put a bicycle card on the top of the deck (NOT the face) and put the deck in a bicycle box, then it should solve your problem. You shouldn't need to show the backs of all the cards. This is what Derren Brown does when he performs 'Smoke'.
Hope this helps, -Niko

Yep that is what is done here. Nothing major. As I said it should not be a problem anyway. How many homes do you go to and really find a deck of bikes anyway? Nine times out of ten it is a bridge size deck with puppies, fish or cats on the backs.

My personal opinion with the Mindpower deck is to do away with the gimicked cards altogether. To me, its a case of don't run when you're not being chased. Spread the cards out, have one thought of, then put the cards away. You are reading the spectator's mind, not doing a cards trick. If they ask, for some odd reason, to look at the cards, hand them a regular deck.

I believe that Derren Brown had a deck specially printed on bike stock.

I can tell this because the faces of the Mindpower deck are very strange and the King of hearts holds a sword, which he doesn't in bike decks. When it closed in on the mindpower deck on his show, (obviously the real sides showing) you could see the King of Hearts was holding a sword. -Niko

LiquidSn,
If you don't find anyone selling the MPD in bicycle brand, you can buy the DVD(art of card splitting- by Martini)and then make your own deck. |

My Mind Power deck is all Bicycle backs. It was never made that way so I had the entire deck hand made. Cards by Martin did it for me. Kind of costly to do it that way but for me, it was worth it.

Same for me, except a local magician/cardgaffer made it. Costs a fortune but it is beyond compare.
