About the deck
Richard Turner is one of the best card mechanics in the world. Thanks to his immense feel for cards, he has become the quality consultant for United States Playing Card Company several years ago. Together they created a deck that satisfies all Richard's requirements - Bicycle Gold Standard. These cards are praised for their excellent feel and handling. Many say it might be the best Bicycle deck.
Gold Standards are the only Bicycle Rider Back cards that use Casino (Bee, Premium) stock. Thanks to that they are very durable and can withstand hours of practice and performing.
A Traditional Cut for Professional Magicians
The easiest way to tell a deck of Bicycle Gold Standard Playing Cards and Bicycle Standard Playing Cards apart is the bright gold seal on the tuck case stating the cards are “Traditionally Cut for the Professional”.
The traditional cut of this deck of cards is undoubtedly its standout feature. Turner worked closely with the USPCC to ensure it was cut to his rigorous specifications. Every playing card has a perfect edge that flawlessly interlaces for crisp clean shuffles. This will be especially evident when performing knacky shuffles like the faro shuffle or one-handed shuffle.
