The Bicycle Fuchsia Pink Back takes the classic Bicycle deck, with its well-known Rider Back (the cherub-on-a-bicycle design that identifies the brand), and prints it in a very vivid fuchsia pink. The faces follow the usual design, so the change is purely one of colour.

Design

Fuchsia is a highly visible shade that contrasts clearly with red and blue decks. That is why it is often seen in effects in which the back of a card, or of the whole deck, appears to change colour, and also as an eye-catching deck to play with.

Manufacturing

It is printed by the United States Playing Card Company with the Air Cushion finish (a very fine embossing on the surface that helps the cards glide and separate easily). Those who have tried it agree that it handles just like a standard Bicycle.

Contents

It comes with the 52 cards, a single joker and several gaff cards (gaff cards for magic). Specialist shops mention a blank-faced card, a double-backer and, in some print runs, another double-backer in two colours; the distributor adds two blank-faced cards as a bonus. The exact composition may vary from one batch to another.
