"Ace Of Spades: 4/10
You have all seen it before, It is nice I guess, but nothing to write home about. A rather simple design, and is well know.
Back Design: 7
Beautiful scroll-work. Strange angels riding bikes… I think. A very visually appealing design, although often under appreciated because how common the cards are. I recommend that anyone who has a deck, should stop and just stare at the backs for a few seconds.
Handling: 6.5/10
In my opinion, these are the best handling cards you can buy at most super-markets and convenient stores. Although there are better finishes out there, they definitely have a better one then.
Long term use: 5/10
The are decent, but they definitely show wear rather quickly. They do last for a little while, but not exceptionally long.
Coloring: 8/10
We are all used to them. The pips are two different colors, depending on the suit ,which allows them to look very nice in color changes.
Coolness: 5/10
They are nice cards, but very, very mundane. Almost all people are familiar with them, so there isn’t anything special about them.
Suspicion factor: 1/10
Since these are so common, very few suspect them to be a trick deck. Although, there are always those people who insist that if you do magic with a deck, that it is rigged. There are also some people who insist that there are markings in the scroll-work. But since Bikes are so common not many people at all will suspect them.
Other notes
-Comes in red, blue and black backs, Although the black backs can be harder to find.
-There is a Gaff deck that matches with the red backs.
-Can be bought in most grocery and convenient stores in the US. (Although, I’ve heard that they can be much harder to find in different countries.)
-Can be purchased on average from $2.50-3.99 a deck. (E sells a three deck bundle for around $9)
-Can be used with "Tricycle"
-Since they handle very well for their price, they are great for effects that require signed or torn cards.
