This looks incredible and is only $6.25 a deck. We know this great company from releases AM/PM DVD with Alex Pandrea and Jonathan Price and Got a Light DVD with Matt Wayne.
http://nymagicproject.com/products/leftydeck.htm The New York Magic Project's first custom Bicycle deck is available for pre-order beginning today. The Lefty Deck is the first Bicycle deck utilizing reversed indices, which allow for effects and flourishes that were never before possible, for both right- and left-handed card workers. The reverse-index Lefty Deck is printed exclusively for NYMP by the United States Playing Card Company, featuring the classic Rider Back design and Air-Cushion finish. The look, feel, and finish you know and love from Bicycle is present in every single Lefty Deck. The Lefty Deck makes possible a natural peek, fan, or spread for left-handed users, and unique reverse spreads and fans for right-handed users. Card workers, manipulators, and flourishers will appreciate the new abilities offered by this unique tool. NYMP has developed some value-added features for this new deck, greatly expanding its utility. All four Lefty 8's and three of the Lefty Aces are natural mirrors of a regular Bicycle card (see image). In addition to the "normal" reverse-index Ace of Spades, we've also added a full mirror-image Ace of Spades to complete the set of Aces. This special card has never appeared anywhere else, and will have unique applications by itself. Additionally, the Jokers are riding in a new direction, and the deck includes a blank-faced card as an additional bonus. The Lefty Deck is being printed in a limited First Edition run of 5000 decks and is available in red backs only. The print run is already under way at USPCC, with the finished decks scheduled to arrive in our warehouse within the next few weeks. Pre-Order Promos The Lefty Deck is available for pre-order (expected shipping date July 7) and we are offering some incredible promotions for pre-order customers: * All advance orders will receive 99 cent shipping, regardless of order size, worldwide * 10 random advance orders will receive a free Uncut Sheet of the Lefty Deck. Only 100 of these were made. A true collector's item (a $200 value) * 10 random advance orders will receive a NYMP DVD pack, including both our titles to date, Got a Light and AM/PM (a $70 value) * 25 random advance orders will receive a free Lefty Deck (a $6.25 value) The 99 cent shipping promotion will end when decks arrive in stock. The giveaways will end 24 hours after the decks arrive in stock, so customers who may be wary of pre-orders will have a small window to participate. But we don't know how long 5000 decks will last, and it is possible that we will sell out during the pre-order period, so don't wait! The Lefty Deck is a NYMP exclusive, available nowhere else. Pricing is $6.25/deck, with a bulk discount available for larger quantities. Check out the official product page for detailed info.

Thanks for posting Chris! We're very excited to be offering this deck!
I want to give recognition to Christian Schenk, aka Card-Shark. Christian released what we believe to be the first "true" left-handed deck a few months back. He made these in extremely limited quantities on his quality Haicycle stock. Our deck had been in development for a little while at that point, and Christian and I spoke, and determined that we'd independently conceived the idea around the same time. Our deck is the first true left-handed, or reverse-index Bicycle deck, printed by USPCC. Kevin

Oh man...imagine the tricks you can do when you mix a regular Bicycle deck with the Lefty Deck. Spectator picks a card and it's lost in the deck, and it's the only card that has a different index. That's just the beginning of it...

Just wanted to post a quick thanks to all of those who have visited the site and placed preorders. The reception has been fantastic, and the orders are flying in! International buyers especially seem to be jumping on board to take us up on our 99 cent flat shipping offer.
While HCS is right about these first-edition decks becoming rare items, we are in the game for the long haul, and have big plans for the Lefty Deck as time goes on. This is a great new tool for all card workers, with tons of potential for new sleights and effects. If anyone has any comments or questions, feel free to get in touch with me anytime! Kevin

Hey guys. Thanks to everyone for all of the support so far. We're blown away at the amount of preorders that have been coming in!
We're going to be shipping in the next couple of days, so I wanted to give people a heads-up that there are only about 24 hours left to take advantage of the 99 cent worldwide flat shipping rate, and only about 48 hours left to have a chance at one of our prizes (uncut sheets, free DVDs, free decks). Wanted to give everyone one last shot at it before everything is back to business as usual... Kevin

Imagine being able to do reverse fans the normal way??? As already said... endless possibilities. I just wish it wasn't limited time

The deck itself isn't a limited time thing. Just our shipping and prize promos. We'll continue to print additional runs of the Lefty Deck once this first batch of 5,000 decks is gone. If Lefties (or anyone) wants to make this their permanent deck from here on out, we've got you covered.

Just wanted to give people a heads-up that the Lefty decks are in-stock and shipping. I played Poker for a couple hours last night with a deck, and had loads of fun making my right-handed friends feel uncomfortable for a change!

Glad your deck arrived safely and that you're enjoying it!
I also want to mention to everyone that we're currently offering free "four-of-a-kind" packs upon request, to let people have a sample of how the cards look and feel. Of course, we could only set aside so many decks for this promo, and requests are coming in quickly, so I can't say how long this offer will be on the table. Hit the Lefty link in my signature to request yours. We also have a little area on the site that offers some tips and tricks with the Lefty. This area will continue to be expanded with free presentational ideas that can be used by anyone, not just lefties. Kevin

New York Magic Project sent out a cool notice:
"It's hard to believe, but July 31 marks one year since the launch of the New York Magic Project! To celebrate we've cut prices on both of our DVD titles, Got a Light and AM/PM. For the next week we're also giving away a free Lefty Deck (now in stock) with each DVD purchased. No code is necessary, and the gift won't show up in your cart. Simply order a DVD and you'll get a free deck with each DVD you buy. It's our way of saying thanks for your business. Happy Birthday!

I definitely can't believe it's been a year! The promo that Chris mentioned above is only open for a week, and there's no limit, so feel free to jump in.
Also, we just added Lefty one-way Forcing Decks to the store if anyone has the need. Kevin

Finally, Finally, FINALLY! I've been wanting a deck like this for over 15 years. I'm not left handed, except when it comes to card handling. As beginner I held the deck in my right hand for dealing and shuffled cards overhand from right to left; this I believe is why I'm a lefty when it comes to cards. In sports like hockey I shoot and catch left, swing and catch left, but for all other activities such as writing or turning a door handle, I use my right hand! It was a year or two now that I contacted a person who could make a deck like this, however he made them by hand and it would have been about $300! Finally I can spread the deck in my hands and have a spec think of a card instead of having to spread them on a table so the cards would appear right way up. Obviously I'm am almost giddy with anticipation!
