BICYCLE VINTAGE DESIGN SERIES TANGENT DECK



Bicycle Playing Cards are the most popular brand of playing cards in the world.  They are the United States Playing Card Company's original brand and product.  Since 1885, Bicycle playing cards have been manufactured by the United States Printing Company, which, in 1894, became the United States Playing Card Company of Cincinnati.  "Bicycle" is a trademark of that company.  The USPCC has absorbed many other playing card manufacturers over the years and they have grown to be the premiere playing card manufacturer.

Bicycle Playing Cards are the preferred cards of many magicians, card players, and other card enthusiasts.  Collecting Bicycle playing cards is also very popular.  People enjoy the beautifully rendered back designs that typically include bicycles, wheels, or other modes of transportation in the composition.

The Bicycle Vintage Design Series recreates historic Bicycle playing card designs from the last 125 years.  The Tangent back design, used from 1907-1939, was the first design to use the 4 winged version of the American Wheelman Emblem.  These cards are printed using contemporary Bicycle card stock and the Air-Cushion finish so they feel and handle exactly like a modern Bicycle deck.  

Available now at Tin City Magic.
