Deck View: Bicycle 1900 (Red Edition) Playing Cards

Red. Century. Weathered.

One of our absolute favorite EDC! Ellusionist‘s Bicycle 1900 Playing Cards is the follow-up to the popular Bicycle 1800s deck. The artwork on the face cards has been meticulously crafted to make it look weathered and abused, exposed to the elements, and left to experience every second for over a century.

With the exception of the bold Ace of Spades and Jokers, the pips and courts are pretty much standard with a faded, vintage color palette. The “damaged” pattern adds uniqueness to the deck. The tuck showcase the same distressed look as each of the cards in the deck.

Also, the deck hides a secret. The secret marking is practically invisible to the untrained. Only those who know the secret can unlock the markings on the Red Bicycle Rider card back.
