he Bicycle Raider deck is the accumulation of years of work by a multitude of magicians, graphic artists, and printing experts. Even before the deck is opened, the box alone alludes that the Raider deck is something special.
When the cellophane is taken off and the cards removed from the pack, the black backing, highest casino grade stock, and Bicycle's own air-cushion finish allow you to immediately fan the cards as if they were an oiled machine. The red numbers, letters, hearts, and diamonds against the black background make every letter, number, and pip pop. The white clubs and spades create a contrast that can grab attention from across the room. Each deck includes jokers that have a full haunting portrait that can create a sly reveal.
From the skulls hidden into Magic Network's original back design, to the card included just for magicians, there is always something new to notice about the Raider deck. And simply using the Raider deck is a way to get you noticed. This is the premium deck of playing cards for those who don't play around with their reputation.
