Hey Everyone. I thought I would add this here. This is from Ellusionist, on one of the decks they sell. "Every other Blank Deck is imitating this. - 52 duplicate cards. - Perfect for color changes & ACAAN - No ink = Kinder to the environment. - UV Printed Box. Your only way of showing you're better than everyone. You either have them or you don't. Don't settle for cheap imitations. Get your Genuine Madison Blanks TODAY." Do check that deck out, and remember, get your decks from a reliable recommended seller today.
Hi there, colours are not a good way to determine clearly on such matters. But the gold rim from what ive read, is used for decks sold internationally. Those within USA has white border.
Hi magic desu, I'm questionning myself about my decks, they become sticky very fast... I'm training moves that affect my card's state but I doubt about my bicycle decks qualities : the main purpose of these cards is to train flourishes and other tricks. How can I do to get real ones in France? Are famous-flourishers-websites more trustworth than other selling websites such as amazon (where I did get all of my decks)? Thank you and keep up the great work you do
Have been buying cards in Cathay for years, and I just realised that their products are not original, even though my friends told me that their products are good, when I see the comparison in 5:15 it cleared all my doubt, thank you for uploading this dude. Not going to buy any cards from local stores anymore... btw, where did u buy ur decks? Im going to place an order this June directly from bicycle and ellusionist! will order around 50 decks which is enough for my whole life lol
Hmm.. Drago Wizard Do not jump in to conclusion about decks from Singapore local shops. As you can see from the video, many of the decks look very similar to the original ones. Just because one of the features may match a feature of a deck box, it does not necessary mean the deck is fake. You can get a deck with the exact same features, yet it is original. :) The idea of this video is to help us all to realize that fake decks exists, but I believe Singapore shops have a good clean record of their products sold. :) As for getting decks from bicycle and ellusionist, you may not want to get too many at a time, this is to ensure your decks do not get stored too long and spoil. Hope you have fun with your decks! :)
well, about the "printed in ohio" thing, i thought there were slightly different tags on new decks compared to the old ones. because the uspcc were moved from their previous factory or office (ohio) to new place which i can't remember what it was. but please correct me if i'm wrong
Hi i just got ghost and shadowmasters deck. The printing on it looks very weird. So different from my aristocrats. The white on the black cards don't appear smooth. On the box too. It looks like the ink is pixelated . Do you think this is fake? The pips look very 'dotty'. Bought them from toy outpost
+Arnav Kaul We sell 100% authentic decks around Singapore. Do drop by our boxes: Hidden Street magic. For more information, please do visit us on instagram: @hiddenstreetmagic Thank you
I'd never heard of fake Bicycle decks before. Mind-blowing, and kinda depressing. I noticed almost immediately that some of the fake decks didn't have a registered trademark symbol on the spade on the front of the box.
Hi there. Thats a good idea, but in most cases, its not easy to see the difference in spreads. The biggest difference is that the non originals spoil faster. they get soggy, sticky and soft faster than the originals. :) Thank you so much for your comment!
I don't have an old Bicycle deck, but I've had my practice Ghost deck for 6 years. And it still handles like it day 1. Invest in good decks, everyone. It's better in the long run :)
Aunaath Nair Hi Sorry I am not too sure of where in Malaysia, but I know a guy who gets them from Singapore for malaysians. He lives in KL. I will PM you his contact. Alternatively, the deck you want can be sent from JB to you.
I almost can't believe how good some of those counterfeits look. Luckily I am in the US, so I have plenty of reliable sources for cards. That was a funny reveal toward the end of the video when you had the one deck that actually said "Made in China" in what looked like the correct font. 😂😅😆
Hello altro123ful Yes there is. Some cards are softer, some are made to be more plastic, some feel like the original but get soft faster or the sides get dark faster mainly because of the humid absorption. For most, you see this layer of plastic coat the card. Much like the low quality import decks.
I've thought about buying a deck , but i'm afraid of getting a fake deck. Would you mind telling me which stores in Singapore sells original decks? I don't mind about the pricing.
I accidently arrived here, when i'm looking for new collection deck. And, is this apply to collection deck like shadow master, or guardian deck or etc, or people only selling fake deck for the reguler one?
Bicycle produces what is known as 807 decks. They are the old box, with the new cards. The reason the first one did't say ohio is the US Playing Card Company is no longer in Ohio. Because of this, they can't add ohio on the box, because it would confuse people. The bottom is just the standard box bottom.
HI there. There are many places to get them in Singapore. Singapore in itself is a great place to get decks because we have good control over our imports :) I'll message you about it ;)
Hi, just wanna ask a simple question. I have 2 Bicycle Seconds deck. One of the cellophane wraps have a red straight line, and the other cellophane wrap has small writings "Bicycle" in a straight line. The box looked all exactly the same. Could you please tell me whether they are real or not? Thank you in advance
is it realistic that a pack of four decks of standard bicycle cards, 2 red, 2 blue are about $12? or is that a bit cheap and probably fake? there from amazon.
one simple way to make sure u buy the real thing is to download to you phone is code bar reader, u scan the "fake" in and it chould send u to the original product homepage with pic of the real thing, zooming the pic on the homepge u can quickly find out whats wrong with the one u are holding... allso if u didnt notes some of the Bicycle was missing a small R in the corner, witch is used by traidmark company it self.
can tell me where to get genuine bicycle decks, thanks. i have 2 decks brought from hong kong. i do not know how to see the difference as i never gotten bicycle decks before. thanks alot
Could u pm me a list of places I can get original bicycle decks in the east side of Singapore? I was also wondering if cardvolution is trustworthy to buy from as I bought a couple from them.
Hi there. Sorry I do not get your question accurately. If your deck is not plastic, it is a deck made of paper. There are both plastic and paper decks in the market.
Hi there. Im not sure if you have those $1-2 decks sold at a store around where you live. The coating on the card is different. Much softer too. :) However, there are many differences. It does not mean that all cards have the same difference :)
I want to buy a Warrior Horse Bicycle Deck, should I worry about it being fake or they only make fake Rider Backs? Do you know if they do this with other decks?
hey , thanks soooooo much for the information ! good information . Oh if u can , can u review some new Bicycle decks , u know that there is new deck boxes coming out right ? So if u can can u tell me how to differenshade them also ? thanks a lot for ur help / Haha , by the way , this is quite usefull . will deninitly share with other friends ...
Hey there where can I get a genuine Bicycle deck in Singapore? I've seen some shops but not in the city area selling decks? Is it reliable to buy from those shops?
I got a Bicycle product at Walmart. On the front it was a picture of the blue and the red rider back deck boxes. On the inside was 2 decks a blu and a red but doesn't say rider back any where, the bottom of the deck box is blank, on the back there is no card back design, and on the side it says ( MADE IN THE U.S.A. (Then the pip for spades) FABRIQUÉES AUX É.-U.) Are theses fake?
hmm, very informative video. I'll be making my way to the bugis+ shop to see if i can pick myself up a few genuine standard bicycle decks for my weekend poker games. No way i'll be buying fakes for a genuine price though. What are the chances of rarer Bicycle decks such as the Premier Gold for example, being fake? Or are fakes exclusively targeted at the standard decks? (makes sense to fake the most mass produced and highest demanded items)
Hi there. Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I am unable to collect enough evidence or hard proof on Tally Ho decks to make a video on them. I will when I hit a gold mine selling many of such decks :)
Hi Justin. Yes of course. Quite a big difference if you use them long enough. I have people who purchased imitates for years, and get a shock when they get the original ones. Their testimonies show the difference. :) Always go for original bicycle decks :)
Thank you my friend for being so kind, offering to check others' decks even when you don't really have to. Very nice of you.

I'd never heard of fake Bicycle decks before. Mind-blowing, and kinda depressing.

Great video! But would be nice if you actually showed us the differences in the actual cards, fanning etc.
Hi there. Thats a good idea, but in most cases, its not easy to see the difference in spreads. The biggest difference is that the non originals spoil faster. they get soggy, sticky and soft faster than the originals. :) Thank you so much for your comment!

hmm, very informative video. I'll be making my way to the bugis+ shop to see if i can pick myself up a few genuine standard bicycle decks for my weekend poker games.

Or are fakes exclusively targeted at the standard decks? (makes sense to fake the most mass produced and highest demanded items)
Hey Kenneth.
The shop at Golden Landmark where you are going to is awesome :)
If its real there is advertisment cards right so if its fake there will not be right?
Hi there. Nope, that is not a good way to differentiate the decks. Almost all the non-originals I know, has advertisement cards :)

Hi desu, are the real deck's quality better than the fake decks
Hi Justin. Yes of course. Quite a big difference if you use them long enough. I have people who purchased imitates for years, and get a shock when they get the original ones. Their testimonies show the difference. :)
Always go for original bicycle decks :)
