This might have been posted on before, but this is the first I have seen of these. I have seen clear decks but nothing put out by Bicycle before. These are cool.
The way they have layed out the cards, you can DL the cards, and see through them. Very cool. Fred Myers is where I found these. RevJohn |

I've also seen many different colors out now that can be found at Target and other places. It seems that the US playing card co is making changes. However with these changes come some bad ones too. I just opened my new box of regular Bicycle playing cards and ... the card stock was thinner! I couldn't find a recent post on this here yet but hasn't anyone else noticed? Maybe it’s just the box loads of cards sent to Costco but man I’m not too crazy about it. I wrote an e-mail to them today and would recommend anyone else who has noticed the change to do so as well. I did read a thread that was posted a year ago saying the same thing... not sure what’s going on I just hope it’s temporary.

Really? Weird mysticcrh!
Anyways, I too have seen the clear cards! Seems like it could be good for some things 
Magically, Tanner J |

Just playing around a little, they work well for the showing how you can see the cards through each other... making it really difficult (cough cough) to pull any trickery on the spectator.
They nodded (maybe politely) but a quick ambitious routine with these cards really looked neat. John |

I love the way these work with a DL and my mongrel pass is very smooth using these cards.

Nope... 48 Bicycle cards from the 80's are exactly as thick as 48 cards from about a month ago.. The ones from the 80's seem a little stiffer than my brand new WPT deck, but same thickness also, and they don't fan as well. |

I was wondering about the special edition Vintage packs that were just released. The cards seem more flexible than standard bikes. But I haven't measured the thickness.

I just don't like the one way backs on them. then you can reall you do cool things with the see through. double lifts and color changes look so much better.

The card case they come in is really neat. Anyone know if these cases are available anywhere else?

Those cases are limited to those clear card decks.

Nice novelty, but not the most practical cards to do effects with.
