Deck Review - Bicycle Imperial Playing Cards

VIDEO REVIEW

A tribute to Imperial Bicycles...and aptly Bicycle branded.

What the bicycle did to transportation, the Bicycle brand did to magic.

Nothing has been more impactful on the transportation industry as the bicycle. The masses were mobile. They could come and go as needed without horses or carriages. The riches of the world were waiting to be uncovered.

Much like the Bicycle brand transformed magic. Providing quality and a standard of excellence to magicians, designers, collectors and cardists. Freeing the mind and their fingers to create whatever they could envision.

Imperial Playing Cards have custom artwork throughout the entire deck. Everything.Intricate tuck. Custom two way back design. Elaborate vintage drawings on the court cards, Aces, Jokers...EVERY card. Even the pips and indices uniquely define the Imperial deck.

Conquer the world.

Bicycle Branded

I also love this deck, especially the faces. But did you catch the mistake on the card back?

Look at the text "Imperial Playing Cards" on the top and bottom of the back design. The direction of the lettering actually corresponds to the direction of the banner on the opposite side of the card.

I wonder if the text got switched around by mistake, and it's actually supposed to be in the banner on the opposite side, or if something along those lines went amiss.

Other than that, it's a lovely deck; but the blooper on the card back does bother me each time I see it.
