BIKIN’ is a totally new and original card conception. Novel, baffling, and highly visual, this effect takes the notion of "Travelling Jokers" to the nth degree.
You’ll never look at a deck of Bikes quite the same way ever again!
Imagine the Joker deciding to take his wheels for a spin. It would look quite special as he peddled around the EDGE of the card to arrive safely on the BACK. Being a smart cookie, he then takes the shorter route back home and passes THROUGH THE CARD.
This is just one of the many sequences that can be created with this very special gimmicked set of Jokers.
The Joker can also peddle through the deck and arrive on the back of a SELECTED CARD.
Full deck handlings and "packet" handlings are explored in 14 pages of illustrated instructions.
Complete with specially printed Bicycle Cards.
Prepare to explore new bikeways... to stretch the bounds of the Joker’s known horizons.
A deck of cards is shown to be faulty due to there being backs printed on both sides of the cards! A spectator examines one of the cards from the unusable deck and verifies this to be true. However, with a magical gesture, the magician causes all the faces to become printed, making the deck as it should be. He then proceeds to take half the cards face up and half face down and shuffle them together. The deck is spread to show the messy condition of the cards.
With his back turned the magician invites a spectator to remove a card and sign it on the face. This card is then replaced facedown into any point in the deck, which is then squared up before the magician turns back. A magical gesture is made and the cards are shown to have gone back to their original state of being all backs on both sides, all except for one card which remains with it’s face showing among the backs of the cards. Unbelievably, it is the signed selection! The only card not to be printed with a back on both sides again! The spectator keeps the card as a souvenir of this strange experience with a deck of cards!
The trick can be instantly repeated with a different card! Multiple handlings included as well as Tom Lauten’s Tidy Up routine! Can be done in the hands or at a table! The deck is instantly reset!

What People Are Saying:
"The routines before you have been used by Syd to kill both magicians and laymen alike, making them (dare I say) very commercial tricks. Syd Segal has taken simple gaffs, yet squeezes every ounce of magical juice out of them for your spectator's amazement." -- Doug Brewer
Imagine walking up to a table or other close-up situation, asking a spectator to choose a card from an ordinary-looking deck of cards and remember their selection. Replacing the card, the spectator looks on curiously and then in complete shock as the magician causes the ENTIRE deck of cards to go completely blank! That's right, completely blank ON BOTH SIDES!
Well, almost all the deck is completely blank as there is one and only one card that remains ordinary. Yep, you guessed it -- it is the spectator's chosen and remembered card. And THAT'S how a real magician finds a spectator's selection!
all but one is a novel way to look at your card magic and it comes complete with everything you will need to perform the effect, including special Bicycle deck, special gimmicks, and full instructions!
