Well it turns out shipping is 21 EUR for my 10 EUR deck.... I may have to (try to?) cancel :( Hello! We understand the concerns. Ondrej addresses the shipping in great detail in the latest update. To quickly summarize, today, the biggest portion of shipping fees is the shipping action itself. Weigh...

https://www.butterflymagicstore.com/user/documents/upload/mantis-e-book-deal.jpg Hello everyone! Thank you to everyone who has already pre-ordered Mantis Playing Cards. Sean wants to give back to those who support the project and pre-order the Mantis cards. So, thanks to his generosity, there are n...

Hello everyone! The pre-order for Mantis Playing Cards is running at full speed. We wanted to give you a sneak peek into the tutorial that comes with every pre-order. Sean filmed and released a performance of The Lucky Card, one of the eight tricks he explains in the tutorial. You can watch the perf...

Thank you so much for the support! We're happy you like them. They are very rarely used now.

And we're live! Mantis Playing Cards are available for pre-order here: https://www.butterflymagicstore.com/man ... ing-cards/

Yes, the court cards have standard black lines. The only difference from the classic 1885 Bicycle faces (as redrawn by Daniel Schneider) is that we used green instead of blue to match the back design.

Definitely yes! We'll ship everything when the Mantis decks finish printing.

Back design looks very nice but it ends unfortunately there for me. Arrco courts might be the only court set that lets me forget how much I despise standard Bicycle courts. I'm glad you like the back design! Manel did a fantastic job. I'd just like to clarify the faces. These are not Arrcos but the...

Mod merge magic please 😃. I like the pricing for the decks considering the magic tutorial you get with them. Thanks for providing all the informations @pavel. Thank you! Even though they will be very limited, we want to make them as affordable as possible. I am sure Sean's tutorial will be fantasti...

https://www.butterflymagicstore.com/user/documents/upload/Blog/mantis-playing-cards-back.jpg Hello everyone!

Help us reach 100 shares on our Facebook post and unlock the exclusive BLUE Marked Bicycle Rider Back deck as an add-on!

UPDATE: 300% stretch goal REACHED!

Our Marked Bicycle Rider Backs will be traditionally cut, making them perfect for smooth faro shuffles from the faces to the backs. This is especially useful for table work.

Pavel

As far as I know, only Maiden Backs (and maybe Mandolin Backs) can be changed. Other designs, including Tally-Hos and Bees, are protected by the same policy as Rider Backs.

Pavel

UPDATE: TRICK DECKS

Trick decks are now available as add-ons. Three of the most used trick decks are available: Stripper, Svengali, and Force. They cost 15 EUR each.

Yes 10yrs ago Magicdream were allowed to do one last run of their Rider back Ultimate Marked Deck That is a long time ago and yet I just purchased another this year so it makes you wonder how much demand there is for marked Rider backs No doubt Butterfly's will be way more concealed Chris Ramsay wa...

We filmed a campaign trailer in which Ondrej talks more about the cards. The trailer now has French, Spanish, and German subtitles. Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/IOQXDYb41Nw?si=clPArICuxOyzsq3_ Let me know what you think! Pavel Great trailer. Can see Ondrej and the Butterfly team had so ...

Pavel, Your posts are always most informational. Reading the campaign's page was very enlightening with differences between the different batches so far. What seal (if any) will these KS decks have? Thanks, George Thank you very much, George! As far as I know, the seal, if any, will be up to the ba...

Hello everybody! 🙌 Our Kickstarter campaign for the Marked Bicycle Rider Back Playing Cards just launched! There are special Early Bird deals available during the first 24 hours. You can get up to six decks for 10 EUR per deck. The best deal comes with the twelve-deck Early Bird. It is available for...

The email I received says: We've found a way to mark the iconic Rider Back design without violating the United States Playing Card Company's policy or infringing the Bicycle Rider Back trademark. Are Bicycle OK with this? Yes! We've printed the first edition in collaboration with them. In a video w...

The new edition coming to Kickstarter will be printed on a different stock and will be much more affordable. We aim to make these a magician worker deck and to offer these to as many magicians as possible. That's why we're working on a new edition. What's the reason for changing the stock? As the f...

So this is an already produced product? Why KS though? The first edition of Marked Bicycle Rider Backs was released in November 2023 through an official collaboration with Bicycle Cards and the USPC. Only 1000 decks were printed, making them more of a collector item. We printed a limited number to ...

I'm a little confused. Is this the one cardtopia sells? https://shop.cardtopia.com/products/bicycle-rider-back-x-butterfly-marked-deck As shermjack already mentioned, the ones at the Cardtopia site are the Black Seal decks from the first edition. There were only 1000 decks, mainly to test the marki...

Interesting that USPCC is letting you do a Rider back. Like you said, they swore about 10 years ago that only Maiden backs can be customized from them on. Great job convincing them! I wonder if others will follow? Thank you! 🙏 Ondrej found a way to do this while complying with the USPC policy. He e...
