Favorite Deck?

For daily use: Juggler Ambigram

For its design: Juggler Marble Esmeralda

Standard deck: Tally-ho Circle Back

For practice and training, Bicycle Standards and Ride Backs.

For serious magic, I recommend Bicycle Supreme Line or Richard Turner's decks.

In my opinion, the Supreme Line decks are just as good as the "Gold Seal" decks (and cheaper).

For making gimmicks and all sorts of Gaff cards (or custom decks), Bicycle Seconds are my go-to.

For cardistry, Tally Ho, Phoenix, and Bee decks are great (though I find any of these to be excellent for magic as well).

Even for practicing with a Smooth finish, I also use Fournier 505s or 818s.

I've kept this list to the most common decks in our world. I have plenty of fantastic and wonderful special or limited edition decks, but I only pull them out for special occasions, not for everyday use (Rainbow deck, Spectrum, etc...).

My favorite deck for this week 😊 is:

Dun, dun, dun…

A Bicycle Odyssey

It comes with two Jokers and a double back card.

It has large indices, all the Aces are oversized, and the colors, to me, are very relaxing.

I absolutely love the Theory11 The Mandalorian deck. I'm a fan simply for its incredible design and the sheer number of intricate details, both on the tuck box and the cards themselves.

But if we're talking about a deck I adore for its practicality and usefulness, I'm sticking with the Phoenix deck. It's a deck that most magicians are familiar with, and it holds a ton of secrets and gimmicks that are incredibly useful for performing really impactful tricks and routines with great ease.

My favorite deck… for this week is:

A Bicycle Wood

My favorite deck for this week is:

The Bicycle Ombré Edged.

Hands down (for me), design-wise, it's visually the best of all Bicycle decks (and it handles and feels great too).

White and red cards....

With its red/blue backs subtly blending ("advancing") (you can perform a transformation effect with them)

Again, visually, both the box and the deck are fantastic.

The red and blue color blending effect is present throughout all its designs.

A really great limited edition deck.

Cheers and happy magic to all!!!

Hey everyone!

My favorite deck, hands down, is Illusion d'optique: it has an optical illusion on every single card.

If you know of another similar deck where each card truly has unique artwork (what I mean is, most decks typically only vary the designs of the Jacks, Queens, and Kings, while the pip cards usually have the same design across different suits, with only the quantity of pips changing), I'd be thrilled to hear about it.

Thanks!

My favorite deck for this week is:

The Bicycle Tiger Black Back, another classic deck.

My go-to deck… for this week (and based on @JCMAGIC's comment) 😊 is:

A Bicycle Fyrebird

It comes with two jokers and a double-sided gaff card.

I have to say, these cards feel quite lightweight and have a really nice finish.

It's one of the few decks (though it might just be in my head 😅) that, whether new or well-worn, allows me to hit a perfect Faro shuffle up to 8 times in a row (which brings the deck back to its original order).

It gives any pro deck a run for its money; in fact, many decks should take a page out of this one's book.

And, of course, it has a very elegant design.

My go-to deck... I actually had a different one picked out for this week.

But after yesterday's incident in Spain (in Ourense, the power was out until 6:30 AM today), I've sarcastically decided to switch it up and go with this instead:

A Bicycle Lightning
