How to use

Remove the deck from the box and spread or riffle the cards to inspect the finish and flexibility. Use the Bicycle Cypher deck in standard cardistry drills, shuffles, cuts and fans; the poker-size dimensions fit common grips and techniques. For magic routines, incorporate the extra cards and jokers as needed for misdirection, forcing and routine setup. Clean handling and brief conditioning through repeated riffles and cuts will help seat the coating and achieve consistent handling characteristics.

Usage recommendations

Store the deck in its box away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve the coloured finish. For best handling, avoid dirty or oily hands and periodically recondition the cards by performing several standard riffles and fans before practice or a performance.
