My card boxes wear our from using my deck of cards so many times. Does anyone know where I can purchase Bicycle card boxes only without the card deck?

Dynamite,
Hope things are going well for you. It looks like Amazon has them for sale through US Playing Card Co. here is the link for red box and blue box has a link on the page. https://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Box-empty......184TXO5Q |

It looks like a brick of 12 bikes at Costco is cheaper than individual boxes.

$2.99 for shipping an empty card box??? (Amazon link) You might ask at Haines House of Cards or get in touch with Marty Martini.

You really wear out boxes before decks? Maybe try wrapping the boxes with clear packing tape.

The Amazon link shows 6 red and 6 blue in one of the pictures on the left. That does not mean that is what you get maybe contact the seller and ask.

I’m very surprised to hear that you wear out boxes before cards.

Maybe it's our fingernails! Just don't know about solutions. Buying new cards in their boxes by the bulk does sound cheaper than the boxes alone at this point. Or just repair the old boxes with tape! OR... borrow someone else's deck (with a tip to Harry) Lynn |

I perform it in the Invisible Deck manner. You will see my way of handling it in about 48 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzaTotHTXzQ&t=45s I can only perform it one time. Next put it away and walk to a different group of spectators. The box is going in and out of my pocket many times at the venue. Sometimes my sports jacket is moist from sweat. I also use Joshua Jay’s card holder. The box wears out from putting the card box in and pulling it out so many times. It holds and rubs against the card box tightly. At times I have to buy a new deck of cards just to replace the box. But for the card tricks where you can put the box away and perform several card effects continuously, the box does not wear out as fast. |

Love that performance, Dynamike! Enjoyed it when you first posted a few years ago, and still get a real kick out of it! Well done!

Arthur, I still love the promo song and music you made for me. My crowds love it just as much. I like it after my show when I can hear some kids singing the song as it syncs in their mind

Website is different from a few years ago (there were price tiers based on number of boxes) but you can order Bicycle tucks directly from USPCC:
https://bicyclecards.com/product/bicycle....../#filter Again, this is different from when I bought these previously so maybe email them if there is a larger volume you'd like to order. Especially with shipping costs (again, I ordered, in bulk, quite a while ago, so it made sense for me). EDIT: In fact, you can see from the images on the sites that they sold 5-packs, etc. |

DynaMike that was so cool that you got to do that on Judge Mathis. I love your voice and your style.
It drives me crazy when we say "make it a hard card, not something obvious" and they still pick the Ace of Spades or the Queen of Hearts Wearing out the box before the deck makes sense now that I realize you are talking about a gimmicked deck. They are handled in a very specific way and we want to get the most life out of them as we can because they can be expensive. |

The spectator selects a card from a different deck. Next opens the unwrapped card box and notices the same card they selected is the only card face up in that deck. |

Surprised nobody has mentioned a card guard. This keeps your cards and box in mint condition. No need to remove the box from the guard everytime you take out the cards, that means there is no wear and tear.
