Can anyone advise me of which are the cheapest marked Bicycle Decks on the market? (I'm based in London)

Obviously Boris Wild Decks are great but if I am buying in bulk would like to know if there are any cheaper yet still quality options.

Thanks!

The cheapest would be ones you make yourself as you only need a deck and a sharpie(Or other marker) to make the deck.

If you're not completely stuck on using Bicycle Cards, David Blaine's Split Spades come in a marked version that is cheaper than any other marked deck I have come across. The markings on the cards are also extremely easy to read while not being blatantly obvious to those who don't know what to look for.

Take a look at the Phoenix Deck by card-shark.de ...

While these are fantastic marked cards, they certainly aren't the "cheapest".

I second Asad's recommendation. Unfortunately, they are such a good buy that most have been snarfled up and they are hard to find. If you need the other two most common gaffed decks, then you can purchase a three deck set including the marked one from shopdavidblaine.com. Phoenix decks are good also, use a different marking system but a bit more expensive. Making your own using a Sharpie has the draw back that it can't be used under all lighting conditions. Under some lighting and some viewing angles, a blue Sharpie mark on a blue deck will actually show a red sheen.

Yes the Blaine decks if you can still find them are super quality and cheap.

Interesting to see where the bidding winds up on this. And to think that Penguin used to sell them for $5.63!

That's bid to $8.34. Not a lot of money - these are still around and should be less than $10.

Neb, try the Phoenix deck. It should serve you well for most of your card needs. You shouldn't have a problem getting them in London.

If your looking for a marked bicycle deck I'd have to suggest that you buy the ultimate bicycle marked decks that you can buy in either red or blue online for around 30$. They are marked in a way that allows you to easily read them but the spectator will never notice. Though its slightly expensive the price is worth it since the last thing you want is a spectator noticing your cards are marked. If you are looking for a cheaper solution and willing to use something besides bikes the David Blaine marked deck is solid but I personally prefer the phoenix marked deck as it is cheap, made to last, and phoenix cards are becoming more commonplace for many performing magicians so I doubt it would arise much if any suspicion from your audience.

Winning bid $12.51 plus $11.68 shipping. Google search returned no stock in any of the major online retailers that I could find. Even shopdavidblaine was sold out of their 3 deck set the last time I checked. Another alternative might be the Daniel Madison decks put out by Ellusionist. Cheap, conservative back designs, and difficult to detect marking systems - which are both an advantage and a disadvantage.

I made a boris wild at home, took some time, I bought the stickers from penguin, now they don't have the deck neither the stickers :/

I have made one, might be abble to do 2 more

My memory is hazy on this...

Back when the Phoenix decks were first introduced, was the original Phoenix design a marked deck?

No, but it had (and has) a one-way design on the backs and faces

Just to put a finer point on it for those unfamiliar with the Phoenix deck, these are "hidden" one way designs.

Great thanks guys!

You can make it yourself with bicycles and matching sharpie, that's the cheapest way

I do that....someone here sells an eBook with his technique.

I'll look it up...
