Since May 2006 BicycleTricks.co.uk has been selling small quantities of gaff Bicycle Cards and other magic accessories. However, all good things must come to an end, and due to other pressures we have had to cease trading. Thank you to all those who used our services.

We will continue to run and update the Bicycle-Cards.co.uk blog - all about Bicycle Cards for Magicians in the UK. Do bookmark it and check it regularly.

Our Trick of the Month listings have all been moved there and will continue to be updated monthly. In the meantime, do follow these links:

Here are our magic recommendations this month. Not necessarily new, but always good!

	Apologies for a late post this month. We’ve just moved and Internet access continues to be a problem. Well known cardman Andi Gladwin has produced a nice little books which is currently half price at only £5.99
	Here’s a nice variation on the magic DVD front. Wayne not only teaches some great tricks, he also interviews some of magic’s ‘greats’ and there are performance clips too. So lots to learn from this one. £24.99
	Looking for a different and versatile kind of close-up pad? This one’s knocked down to only £16.34 - so snap it up quick

Here are our magic recommendations this month. Not necessarily new, but always good!

	I was privileged to see Craig Petty lecture recently. He is a clever guy and his routines with this coin are a knockout - and best of all, require very little (or no!) sleight of hand. Recommended. Includes two bags with the DVD. Use any currency. £14.96
	Although Craig is primarily a coin man, he also showed us some very clever card work. Here is a collection of it on DVD. All designed for high impact at minimum effort. £17.99
	Here’s an unnusual and appealing mental trick ideal for platform or close up work. The bare bones of the plot is locating each of 4 spectator’s rings, but it is an entertaining and clever routine, which fits in the pocket easily. 1/3 off at the moment, so only £20.70

	Any Card at Any Number (ACAAN) is a plot I am slightly obsessed with! So I was delighted to discover this new instant download (55page) with a very strong version of this effect and several variations and extras. Well worth a look at £19.99
	The classic Koran prediction is given a different twist by the talented Stephen Tucker. You deal through the cards and stop where the spectator says (no force). A duplicate of their chosen card is in the specially produced leather wallet. Currently on special at only £8.05
	This is as clever (and atmospheric) a version of a ‘living and dead’ test as you’ll ever find. All themed around the Titanic. Comes with nicely produced cards, but the principle can be extended to different themes and presentations. A great effect. £29.99.

	As a fan of both Stephen Tucker and the BBM DVDs, when I saw this was reduced I had to mention it. Lots of clever tricks possible with a custom Bicycle gimmick. 2 extra routines included on the DVD also. Bargain at only £11.50
	There’s quite a bit of noise about this new magical accessory. Enables you to vanish small items and simultaneously produce a loud bang! Only £26.99
	If you read this site regularly you will know I love strong mental magic and especially clean ‘think of a card’ or ACAAN effects. It looks like Devin Knight has come up with a clever and funny variation on this theme. £22.99.

	A friend performed this at the club the other day and it was amazing. In essence a photograph which includes a watch proves to show the exact time that the spectator selects. Only one photograph, in view all the time. Very clever working and extremely easy to do - so you can concentrate on the presentation. My kind of trick. £64.99
	This is another ‘old’ trick which deserves to be rediscovered. A spectator’s merely thought of card totally vanishes from your hands. It was watching Eugene Burger perform a variation on this that convinced me of its value. An easy and impressive version of the Princess Card Trick. Only £12.97
	This is a new one and is available as an instant download. Very visual. Burn the whole deck and restore just the spectator’s card. Watch the demo for a great effect. £9.99.

Here are our magic recommendations this week. Not necessarily new, but always good!

	In a ‘credit crunch’ tricks with cash ought to appeal! And this is a very nice looking penetration of a bank note with a playing card. £12.99
	I have recently finished reading Phill Smith’s first book - Mitox - The Falsely Spoken Word - and thoroughly enjoyed it. His approach is to the point, subtle, and suitable for use in the real world. So whilst I haven’t yet read Yokai, it is sure to be worth a look if you enjoy good mentalism. £27.50
	I was recently re-learning my chop cup and balls routine and the combination set really does add an extra element to the routine - especially if your sleight of hand is not so hot. Here’s a nice set for £27.95.

	This is an unusual trick which I have not seen before, where a metal arm band penetrates a chosen card. Very visual. £18.95
	I have recently been reading some classic Eugene Burger books and have been reminded again of his great thinking about magic and in particular how to perform magic that moves people. This DVD is a masterclass in presentation and will help you think more creatively about your magic. £21.95
	The ‘Flipper’ coin was one of the first gimmicked coins I owned and is incredibly versatile. (Check out - Craig Petty’s excellent Flipped Out DVD if you want more ideas with it). Here is a good quality version for £22.95.

	As you may know I am a big fan of Paul Harris’ Art of Astonishment books, and this DVD has some of the choice effects from the books on it. Cards, notes, even fizzy drinks. All treated to the Paul Harris touch. Ideal Magic Christmas present? £17.99
	I wouldn’t normally recommend two DVDs in the same month, but Mark Mason’s set is worth a mention. Mark is a great performer and his magic is very entertaining. You will love watching these 2 DVDs and will learn some wonderful magic as performed in the real world. £24.99 (and if you already have this set, have you seen his new set - Decade)
	And to finish with, a wonderful close-up miracle from Jon Allen. A really visual transposition of two pairs of cards - and best of all it is easy to do. Highly recommended. Only £12.99.

	So this one’s been around for quite some time now, but just recently I have seen a couple of people perform it at my local magic club, and I think it is strong magic. An appealing plot and clever prediction. And easy to do. Only £12.99
	We always like the BigBlindMedia DVDs - strong magic and taught in an amusing manner. This is a massive 3 disc set - 27 strong effects - mainly cards. Recommended. And currently reduced from £49.99 to only £35.25
	I haven’t plugged an all time classic book for a while, so I thought this was the moment. This is a beautifully produced book containing strong magic from all the greats. And look at the scope - 720 jam-packed pages, over 250 card effects, over 140 coin effects, 145 other items, plus articles and editorials and a big index to help you find things! Only £49.99.
