When it is brand new it comes in Juan Tamariz's Mnemonica stack. It is one of the more populare memorized stacks out there. Most of us would never make use of this feature but it is a nice touch.
I love Monarchs, they're easily in my top 5, probably at one or two. Love they way they handle, the box is gorgeous, and they're really nice looking cards. Great video
top 5 decks for me 5) Distressed Bicycle- great handling, looks amazing in a fan. Only back draw bad for magic because of the back design 4) Bicycle club tattoo- smooth handling, fans are a breeze, and the court cards are really cool. the only problem is the backgrounds to the cards make magic a bit of a trouble 3) Bicycle Alchemy- great handling the fans are easy and each card is unique. 2) monarchs- same as the video said and my personal favorite 1) Arcane (white edition)- the smoothest handling deck I have used everything is so easy when using them the back design is highly detailed and really cool looking the jokers are the coolest i have seen( the black edition arcane looks even cooler) they are so easy to use in magic and I cant think of any bad things about this deck
They are being sold from different sellers. The reason the page is so useful is because it makes it easy to compare prices so that you can get the best deal.
I only plan to buy one deck for doing tricks and magic, I fell in love when I saw the back of the Bicycle Archangels, then, of course I bought them. They look so good !
You are not wrong. The JAQK Cellars wine company hired a design firm to work on the original deck. Theory11 then later slightly modified the back design to make it symmetrical and they also changed the card stock and finish of the deck.
I like the handling and borders of the Bicycle Magic Carpet cards. Like a orangish yellow border surrounding a Purple, brown and black looking rug. And the cards are definitely marked.

Hey there HiTunes4, You can get them by visiting the link in the description box and then clicking "Great Britain" in the drop down menu. You will see all of the UK sellers who have them. They do come with a double backer, and they are good for many performance situations. It will be more difficult to do tricks that involve secretly reversed cards, but it will be easier to shade a lot of gambling sleights. Thanks -Asad
I strongly agree with your list. 4 of them are my top 5 as well! Tally ho decks last a lot longer and the back design is beautiful. Madison Rounders , well I still have a deck I've used over and over for about 4 Months of good action.
It's all about personal preference. If you like soft cards, I would recommend any of the Smoke & Mirror cards or Tally-Ho's. Both of those decks are pretty cheap and last abnormally long if you take good care of them. Unfortunately, there aren't many cheap options for thick cards (the best ones are mostly out of print), but as a beginner, you will not have a feel for quality just yet. It's like cigars; you need to smoke a lot in order to notice the beauty of a Cuban. Hope this helps.
I get some decks on amazon, because amazon's prices are usually lower. I don't have ton's of decks, though, so I'll take your suggestion the next time I buy some.
The Jaqk deck is awesome, I am looking for one at this moment, definitely No 1 for me. Disagree with your comments on the Blue Dragon backs, its the only Dragon back that I like and I have 2 decks, Nice video, learned a few things, thx.
1. David Blaine White Lions 2. Dan and Dave Antler deck 3. Tally Ho Circle back 4. Bicycle Steam punk (Very smooth and very durable.) 5. Blue Dragon back bicycles! Honorable mentions - Madison Rounders is actually my favourite deck, but ellusionist is in Cali, and I live in Indiana so it's a large shipping price and takes longer.
My top 5 decks right now are 5. Bicycle (regular, I get bricks from Costco for $14!!!) 4. Ellusionist Artifice 3. Aristocrat Bank Notes 2. Madison Rounders and #1... Theory 11 Artisans. I have had my first deck of Theory 11 Artisans for over a year and put them through hell. I have used it as both a practice and performance deck and still feels great. Obviously not as good when brand new, but I've dropped them, and used the crap out of them and they still feel and perform great. (I DO use a Joe Porper clip on all my decks to help their longevity). The Madison Rounders come in second because they have been put through all kinds of hell also and are still handling pretty well.
White Ghosts handle really well, but they look too different for my tastes. I normally do perform with Bicycle Standards so that I don't have to worry about people signing cards, losing cards, etc. They are easily replaceable. -Asad
Hi 52Kards those Cards You are showing look really amazing.i have some playing cards and got one from las vegas & some tarot cards because of the Art work designes on them.
Get the artifice v2. Its just generally more classy, and the box is tougher. Also the infinity looks very suspicious, it has odd fonts and colours that spectators will not recognise. Artifice all the way!
This is not a new video, but I thought I'd suggest to any viewers to try a local Barnes & Noble for a custom deck selection. They have an excellent selection of various popular Theory 11s near me, and I am not in an urban area! Always feels wonderful to walk out of a store with no wait time to play with new cards, and no shipping charges, either :)
my top 5: 5) madison rounders (like the black a bit more) 4) artisans (more so the white) 3) artifice (green and white) 2) monarchs (regular and white(if u can find the white)) and..... # 1 is.... No Name The reason is because of the design, handling, stock, and longevity, but the design is pretty freakin awesome.. hope that helps!!
Split spades look awesome. Now i know where to get them! Been looking for ages in the uk for them. How long have you been practicing magic and general card handling for?

Thank you for the tip. It's just that I found the Expert @ the card table - Erdnase pdf, but it was a little difficult do do. Also the tutorials on youtube are not very professional, and I would love to learn the bottom deal the right way.
There's a store about 8 km away from where I live that has every deck I could ever imagine xD they are cheap to a standard bicycle deck in 8 AUD (on eBay they are normally 10) they literally have 300+ different decks.
hi , firts thank you a lot for your tutorials , its help a lot guy and your explanations are clear and prcise .I would like a advice. i begin some cardtricks with platic cards("copag" 100% plastic jumbi box) and now i just bought the bicyle red. But they are two difficult to manipulated. What do you think i have to used to bicycle or go on with plastic cards ?
Thanks! I'm thinking of getting them. Have you tried the theory11 steampunk deck? I really love it and you should try it! I have a review on my channel if you want to see them.
I just got a deck of cards "Bicycle Prestige" They handle very nice and the cards slide effortlessly across each card. But the cards aren't slippery in your hands. The best part is the cards are 100% plastic so it's water proof and crease resistant. Yes I even tried putting water on a card and no it doesn't do anything
For some reason prestige cards clump after a couple of days. Now whenever I fan them they make huge clumps. They fanned great when I got them but do u know what happened to the cards?
Hey Asad, I was wandering what types of bee decks there are because I have heard that their main line has two versions, a casino version and a club special. Apparently the casino version is slightly thicker and stiffer whereas the club special is thinner and softer but I haven't actually been able to confirm different types of bee decks. What bee deck would you recommend? Also, would you say bee decks are better for tabled gambler style mechanics and then bicycle for in hand regular magic and flourishes?

I love Monarchs, they're easily in my top 5, probably at one or two. Love they way they handle, the box is gorgeous, and they're really nice looking cards. Great video
top 5 decks for me
5) Distressed Bicycle- great handling, looks amazing in a fan. Only back draw bad for magic because of the back design
4) Bicycle club tattoo- smooth handling, fans are a breeze, and the court cards are really cool. the only problem is the backgrounds to the cards make magic a bit of a trouble
3) Bicycle Alchemy- great handling the fans are easy and each card is unique.
2) monarchs- same as the video said
and my personal favorite
1) Arcane (white edition)- the smoothest handling deck I have used everything is so easy when using them the back design is highly detailed and really cool looking the jokers are the coolest i have seen( the black edition arcane looks even cooler) they are so easy to use in magic and I cant think of any bad things about this deck
Yes arcane is the best
They are being sold from different sellers. The reason the page is so useful is because it makes it easy to compare prices so that you can get the best deal.
I personally really like the bicycle standards and archangels. Anyone else?
Hunter Quartermaster the archangles i recieved didnt handle well sooo...
I liked the archangels as well but by far the citizens deck from theory 11 is my top deck
I'm favorite is the 52 jades mint deck it an amazing handling deck with gaff cards and easy to read but invisible marks
I love the archangels
I love the Archangels (they’re the fanciest cards I currently own😂)
On the page you can click on the drop down menu and select sellers from Europe.
My personal top 5:
1- Bicycle Archangels
2- Monarchs
3- Tally Ho Viper (Circle back)
4- Bicycle Arcane Black
5- Madison Rounders Brown
I only plan to buy one deck for doing tricks and magic, I fell in love when I saw the back of the Bicycle Archangels, then, of course I bought them.
They look so good !
@@SInkiHui1997 i reccomend monarchs, and maybe project red.
You are not wrong. The JAQK Cellars wine company hired a design firm to work on the original deck. Theory11 then later slightly modified the back design to make it symmetrical and they also changed the card stock and finish of the deck.
in my country, the typical place to buy is in a shop where they rent out cubicles to sell things, and at least 1 has cards
a market?
Joshua Kent no, i dont know how to say but search up Hako or Box Street
Nicholas Toh a swap meet?
No Chill Chrysler no its just a shop, where people can rent cubicles to sell their stuff, and sometimes there are cards there
You can change the country location by using the drop down menu at the top
i actually like the blue dragonback
Same
Brades of Spades
1 Tally ho vipers
2 aristocrats
3 monarchs
4 Dragon back
5 white lions
Misha Tsirlin same the blue looks nice
I like the handling and borders of the Bicycle Magic Carpet cards.
Like a orangish yellow border surrounding a Purple, brown and black looking rug. And the cards are definitely marked.

i looked for that JAQK deck and its like $50 on bay!!! It was only $4.95 on their website... i REALLY like that back design and want it so bad :(
E bae
Me too man but now on the website they are sold out :/
PRO NaDe X I found some JAQK decks for 17$ on ebay
PRO NaDe X try amazon
Very good. I really like the stock and the finish on it.
1) D&D V6
2) Monarchs
3) Madisons
4) Tally Ho
5) Mirage
I strongly agree with your list. 4 of them are my top 5 as well! Tally ho decks last a lot longer and the back design is beautiful. Madison Rounders , well I still have a deck I've used over and over for about 4 Months of good action.
I love the JAQK deck! They look astounding, handle well, and are very classy. I definitely recommend.
1. Virtuosos
2. Artisans
3. Mystery Box
4. Tendril
5. JAQK
my opinion.
Agreed, in would only switch virtuoso for JAQK
+Paprika Pringles Maybe he's a cardist? :)
Yes, it is called the Thumb Fan. You can find it on my channel or @ 52kards(dot)com
1.Shadow Masters
2.Standard
3.Dragon back
It's all about personal preference. If you like soft cards, I would recommend any of the Smoke & Mirror cards or Tally-Ho's.

Nope your wrong asad the split spades aren't the greatest back design the mints are
*you're
I get some decks on amazon, because amazon's prices are usually lower. I don't have ton's of decks, though, so I'll take your suggestion the next time I buy some.
I found the dragon back deck at Kmart
You found a K-mart? :P
The Jaqk deck is awesome, I am looking for one at this moment, definitely No 1 for me. Disagree with your comments on the Blue Dragon backs, its the only Dragon back that I like and I have 2 decks, Nice video, learned a few things, thx.
and i thought the standards were cool...
1. David Blaine White Lions
2. Dan and Dave Antler deck
3. Tally Ho Circle back
4. Bicycle Steam punk (Very smooth and very durable.)
5. Blue Dragon back bicycles!
Honorable mentions
- Madison Rounders is actually my favourite deck, but ellusionist is in Cali, and I live in Indiana so it's a large shipping price and takes longer.
why do i feel like im watching asmr
As long as you buy from the same seller all of the decks should be shipped at once.
dragonbacks wear out way too quickly
You probably don't take care of them good enough.
My top 5 decks right now are 5. Bicycle (regular, I get bricks from Costco for $14!!!) 4. Ellusionist Artifice 3. Aristocrat Bank Notes 2. Madison Rounders and #1... Theory 11 Artisans. I have had my first deck of Theory 11 Artisans for over a year and put them through hell. I have used it as both a practice and performance deck and still feels great. Obviously not as good when brand new, but I've dropped them, and used the crap out of them and they still feel and perform great. (I DO use a Joe Porper clip on all my decks to help their longevity). The Madison Rounders come in second because they have been put through all kinds of hell also and are still handling pretty well.
Dan and Dave never fails to make a perfect design that fits most people taste
White Ghosts handle really well, but they look too different for my tastes. I normally do perform with Bicycle Standards so that I don't have to worry about people signing cards, losing cards, etc. They are easily replaceable.
-Asad
Hi 52Kards those Cards You are showing look really amazing.i have some playing cards and got one from las vegas & some tarot cards because of the Art work designes on them.
if you live in Los Angeles you can go to a magic shop named "The Magic Apple" it's up in Studio City great store with great cards and magic
I'd say you got a pretty classy kind of taste in card deck designs.
If you visit the site in the description box, you can change your country location to search for sellers in the UK.
I checked out your link and went to eBay. I NEVER knew there were so many different types of cards! Some are actually beautiful! Yes, I'm a noob! :-)
Thanks for making this video and the store page is really helpful.
Get the artifice v2. Its just generally more classy, and the box is tougher. Also the infinity looks very suspicious, it has odd fonts and colours that spectators will not recognise. Artifice all the way!
I agree! Love this video but can we please have an update. You're not allowed to put the Mint deck in though 😉
This is not a new video, but I thought I'd suggest to any viewers to try a local Barnes & Noble for a custom deck selection. They have an excellent selection of various popular Theory 11s near me, and I am not in an urban area! Always feels wonderful to walk out of a store with no wait time to play with new cards, and no shipping charges, either :)
Awesome Cards and yay you are back! I love you! :D
Yeah that is probably a good way of explaining it :)
Wow, that JAQK deck was beautiful, and so unique. Nice.
The borderless almost tartan looking cards are almost hypnotic.
Can you do a new more up to date version of what your favourite decks are now? Love these videos!!!
my top 5:
5) madison rounders (like the black a bit more)
4) artisans (more so the white)
3) artifice (green and white)
2) monarchs (regular and white(if u can find the white))

The reason is because of the design, handling, stock, and longevity, but the design is pretty freakin awesome.. hope that helps!!
my left ear loved the starting minute.
ive been waiting for this foreverrrrr
Split spades look awesome. Now i know where to get them! Been looking for ages in the uk for them. How long have you been practicing magic and general card handling for?
In #4 That is the funniest ace of spades I've ever seen!
7:35 my god that box is so beautiful!
You're all making your lists but here in Ireland you have to get them off amazon, and then shipping is normally 7-20 euros for delivery
The dragon deck and that nice smooth deck at 7:30 are my favorite out your pile
1. Raspberry Mints by 52 Kards
2. Smoke and Mirrors eco by Dan and Dave
3. Killer Bees by Ellusionist
4. Tally Ho Vipers by Ellusionist
5. Citizens by Theory 11
My favourite deck is Mirage by Patrick Kun. It's just so magical, and intriguing, yet minimalistic and modern... love it
Ordering from the Bicycle card website is also cheap too. I was shocked at how low the shipping rates were.
Thank you for the tip. It's just that I found the Expert @ the card table - Erdnase pdf, but it was a little difficult do do. Also the tutorials on youtube are not very professional, and I would love to learn the bottom deal the right way.
My top 5-
1. Vintage plaids
2. White Madison rounders
3. Fathom playing cards
4. Hustler Orange
5. bicycle ghost deck
My first deal was a dragon back ! Thanks for confirming my choice !😊
Do you have a tutorial over the weave cut you did at the beginning of the video? It looked pretty neat
1. Ellusionist Emerald Artifice
2. Artisans
3. Tally Ho fan back
4. Ellusionist white ghost
5. Noc

Memento Mori
decks and contests which one of these decks Handel the best because you didn't get into the handling much
Thanks! I'm thinking of getting them. Have you tried the theory11 steampunk deck? I really love it and you should try it! I have a review on my channel if you want to see them.
B&N has a great selection of theory 11 and bicycle decks!
The JAQK deck looks really nice. I'm going to have to order a few.

Thanks for the vid. I bought my first deck of bicycle dragon backs thanks 2 u man!
I just got a deck of cards "Bicycle Prestige"
They handle very nice and the cards slide effortlessly across each card. But the cards aren't slippery in your hands. The best part is the cards are 100% plastic so it's water proof and crease resistant. Yes I even tried putting water on a card and no it doesn't do anything
For some reason prestige cards clump after a couple of days. Now whenever I fan them they make huge clumps. They fanned great when I got them but do u know what happened to the cards?
my list:
5) Cherry casino (any colour)
4) noc (green)
3) red wheels by art of play and DKNG
2) white artisans
1) blue monarchs
have you ever looked at the Archangel Card Deck? it got a reaaally awesome design, too. my favorite
yup
Have you already uploaded a tutorial of the move you do at 00:18? That is awesome, I would love to learn it...
The way you feel about monarch back is how I feel about studs.
the plaids look SWEET in fans!
I ended up getting a JAQK deck I love it. I'm going to have to buy some more before the prices increase any further :P
Jaqk cards are out of stock on Theory 11, but you can purchase them directly from the Jaqk cellars website
do the JAQK cards last? how long would you be able to use them in a regular poker game? to my knowledge they're vinyl?
It is called the faro shuffle. You can find a tutorial on my channel or at 52kards(dot)com.
Asad please answer!!!
What do you think of Bicycle White ghost?
And what card do you think are the best for perfoming??Bicycle standards?
Is your playing card selling site is open for a long time? And how is the shipping charge ?
Hey Asad, I was wandering what types of bee decks there are because I have heard that their main line has two versions, a casino version and a club special. Apparently the casino version is slightly thicker and stiffer whereas the club special is thinner and softer but I haven't actually been able to confirm different types of bee decks.
What bee deck would you recommend?
Also, would you say bee decks are better for tabled gambler style mechanics and then bicycle for in hand regular magic and flourishes?
If you have a Barnes and nobles they have very nice cards
Thanks m8! And thanks but no thanks, I prefer a simple clean background.
