FAQs
What makes the Bicycle Jacquard design special?
The Jacquard design is inspired by the intricate weaving process of the Jacquard machine and features custom artwork with silver and deep green foil on the tuck case, along with recolored court cards and custom back cards.
How many cards are in a deck?
A Bicycle Jacquard deck contains 56 cards, which typically includes the standard 52 playing cards, 2 jokers, and 2 additional unique cards.
Is this deck suitable for professional magicians?

What is the air-cushion finish?
The air-cushion finish is a unique process applied to Bicycle playing cards that creates thousands of tiny air pockets within the card surface. This allows for smooth shuffling, easy fanning, and enhanced durability.
Are these cards environmentally friendly?

Troubleshooting
Cards feel stiff or difficult to shuffle
This is often due to a break-in period. Shuffle and handle the cards frequently for a few sessions to loosen them up. Ensure your hands are clean and dry.
Tuck case is damaged
Contact the retailer where you purchased the cards for a potential replacement. While the cards themselves are durable, the tuck case can be susceptible to damage during shipping.
Cards appear to be sticking together
Ensure the cards are not in a humid environment. If they are slightly damp, let them air dry completely in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Missing a card
Check the deck thoroughly, including the tuck case. Bicycle decks typically include 56 cards (standard 52 + 2 jokers + potential extra cards). If a card is genuinely missing, contact the manufacturer or retailer.
