The Classic Rider Back 808

Do you remember learning your first card game?  How about winning at an old fashioned game of solitaire? Or that holiday tradition of Gin Rummy after dinner? Known for quality, heritage, and bringing people together for generations, Bicycle playing cards have been a part of household gaming since 1885. Every Bicycle playing card deck is specially crafted so that you can trust Bicycle performance hand after hand. From professional card players to the neighborhood game night, Bicycle is a part of the gaming tradition. Great for all card games. Great for all players.

History

Bicycle Playing Cards are a popular brand of standard playing cards, and are the USPCC's original brand and product. Since 1885, the Bicycle brand has been manufactured by the United States Printing Company, which, in 1894, became the United States Playing Card Company of Cincinnati. "Bicycle" is a trademark of that company. They are popular with magicians and other card enthusiasts.

The typical Bicycle deck (Poker-standard Type 808) is a standard issue deck of cards consisting of 52 traditional Anglo-American playing cards, two jokers, an information card, and a card describing poker ranks. As with most decks, the first standard card of the deck is the uniquely-stylized Ace of Spades. The Bicycle trademark is usually also printed on the Ace of Spades. The type number of a Bicycle deck can be found both on the bottom of the deck box and on the stone of the Joker artwork.

Bicycle playing cards are commonly used in card magic and flourishes, and are generally considered by magicians as the best playing cards for most tricks, particularly those tricks where the facing of the card needs to be concealed (this is allowed by the white border on the back of the card).
