Bicycle Metallic Ruby reimagines the classic Rider Back deck as a subtle showpiece, wrapping familiar design in deep metallic red ink. At first glance it looks like a standard Bicycle deck, but under light the ruby tones come alive—lines, scrollwork, and pips catch reflections with a jewelry‑like sheen that feels luxurious without being flashy.
Printed by the United States Playing Card Company, Metallic Ruby uses true metallic red ink on the back design and key face elements, adding depth to spreads, fans, and packet displays. The rich ruby color keeps indices and pips perfectly readable, so the deck remains practical for real‑world use while still standing out from ordinary Rider Backs.
Designed with magicians and cardists in mind, this deck handles like a worker. It is printed on standard Bicycle stock with Air‑Cushion Finish® and a standard cut, giving smooth spreads, reliable springs, and familiar break‑in for sleights and flourishes. Each deck includes 52 cards, two identical standard Jokers, and one blank‑face gaff card, making it ready for magic straight out of the box.
For performers, the metallic reflections enhance visual impact on camera or under bar and close‑up lighting; for collectors, it is a refined twist on an everyday icon. Bicycle Metallic Ruby is more than a recolor—it is a restrained, elegant take on the Rider Back that feels at home in both a working set and a display case.
