Soar through the skies with the Bicycle Mirage Limited Edition Playing Cards, a breathtaking aviation-themed deck designed by French magician Gael Brinet (Jean-Charles Briand) and produced exclusively by Magic Dream. This limited edition release captures the elegance and adventure of aviation history through meticulously crafted artwork that transforms every card into a tribute to the golden age of flight.
The Aviation Design Vision
Gael Brinet drew inspiration from the heroic era of aviation, when pilots were celebrated as modern-day adventurers and aircraft represented humanity's quest to conquer the skies. The deck's aesthetic evokes the romance of early flight – leather helmets, propeller aircraft, pilot wings, and the distinctive atmosphere of open-cockpit aviation. Every design element reflects the courage, skill, and elegance that defined the pioneering days of flight.
