The One Way Forcing Deck is a deck of cards where all the cards are the same. You could kit the deck yourself by purchasing 52 regular decks, but we think this is a more feasible solution! We'll let you find effects using it; the deck comes without instructions.
What Is A One Way Forcing Deck
It's just about the easiest possible way to make someone pick a certain card, because every card in these decks is the same! It may seem about as obvious as you could get for a trick deck, but used wisely, this is an incredibly powerful tool used by professionals all round the world.
What Can You Do With A One Way Force Deck?
Force cards! That is really the sole purpose of a One Way Force Deck. But it gives you freedoms not associated with a regular deck of playing cards. You can spread the deck on a table, walk away, and invite your spectator to select any they wish. Every time you know you're going to hit the force, because all the cards are the same! One magician even spread a deck all over a pool table and got a player to hit a ball bouncing around the table. The card the ball stopped on would be the selection. Guess what? It was the force card.
Tip For Your One Way Forcing Deck
The best tip we can give you is to have a stranger card (one that is not from the force deck) on the bottom that has a different value. That way you can casually flash the bottom card of the deck as you talk, and then go into the force.

Customer reviews for Bicycle One-Way Forcing Deck
Lee
This deck is exactly what it is advertised to be. It arrived quickly, very well protected and in perfect condition. I recommend buying these decks from Vanishing to everyone.
Curt
I bought this along with a "Short Deck" so I could make my own "Reverse Svengali Deck", worked perfectly!
Garry
Great deck trick.
John
To have a deck of all the same card is such a stupid idea, it can be used as a gag or surprisingly used as a highly deceptive method. The idea of all cards being the same is so obvious it actually is unlikely to be suspected by some audiences, and can allow for some seriously fooling and fair magic.
Alternately, use some of the cards from the deck for a packet trick, or use some of them the build a gaffed deck like a Svengali, there are many options with this deck. It does what it says on the tin, if you like it you won't be dissappointed.

This is a standard in magic to obtain extra cards that are the same. They can be used in multiple ways from making custom gaffed cards, to specific card tricks which require extra cards, or replacement cards for ones that are either signed or ripped. Buying this deck saves from buying several other normal decks and destroying one or two cards, making the deck incomplete.

I bought one of these decks to use in mentalism, a reveal for equivoque. It works really good, it can be also great for forcing a card because nobody thinks that you can have a deck with one card. Great bicycle quality.
James
Perfect! This deck is exactly what I wanted. The fact that you can choose any card you want for the deck is wonderful. A lot of magic shops have a limited supply and you’re forced to settle. But I was able to get the deck with the card I needed to make my routine work
Einar Aron
Nothing new here, just a typical one-way forcing deck from Bicycle with the quality of everything USPCC stands for. The possibilities are endless, either as a trick on it's own or as a way to have duplicated cards. I made a card castle with this deck.
Gary
There's not a lot that can be said abut these decks they are bicycle so you know the are good quality and using a one way forcing deck is very deceptive to the uninitiated because the deck can be switched in and out very easily without any suspicion and yet again the service from vanishinginc is second to none I would recommend to anyone.
Micah
This deck is a great deck of fifty-two of the same card. You get one deck of rider backs with the fifty-two of the same card (which ever one you choose). I got this for a trick and can't wait to perform it. Thanks to Vanishing inc for making this arrive so fast and in good condition.
Brent
Perfect product for making my various 5 way Tossed out Decks. Highly Recommend.
Javier
Vanishing Inc provides options on which cards you can choose unlike other companies. Having the choice on which cards you want to purchase is very important, especially for custom shows. And the packaging is excellent, bubble wrapped for secure transportation. Great attention to detail. Thanks again, very happy. Only downside is you have to wait until they have what force card you need but it's understandable.
James
It’s exactly what I ordered. It’s hard to say much about it other than I really appreciate Vanishing Inc. for letting us know what is in stock and which are available to order. That takes a lot of guessing out of it.
MAXIMILIANO
The Bicycle One-Way Forcing Deck is a great tool for magic tricks. The deck is well made and durable, making it perfect for frequent use. The one-way design is easy to work with and adds an extra layer of challenge to your tricks. The 9 of Hearts option is also a great addition, making it a versatile deck for all types of tricks. Overall, I would highly recommend this deck for magicians of all levels.
Kevin
These are everything you want and expect them to be!
Phil
I use this to have a stockpile for a card I force and give away. It also comes in handy when I need to make a gaff out of a specific card. I appreciate how I can always get the card and color backing I need.
Paul
I'm always happy to have these decks lying around--the quality is top-notch, just as one expects from Bicycle cards. Funny thing is, I rarely use them for forcing. As other reviewers have noted, they're useful for making gaffs and replacing worn-out cards from packet tricks, too. At any given time I have two AS decks of each Rider-Back color (the most common ones anyway, blue/red) for that reason; John Bannon likes to give the Ace of Spades a workout, both in his packaged packets and in effects like Duplicity that require assembling specific cards/gaffs on your own. Vanishing also has the best prices for one-way forcing decks, and believe me, I've checked!
Gerhard
This is a simple gimmicked deck but excellent bicycle quality. I never thought this would be such as effective tool. It simply baffles lay people. Good deck to have in your arsenal!
Oliver
Exactly the same quality as the Bicycle Riders. Perfect for the routines you need a one way force deck with a design that everyone knows. I absolutely love that Vanishing offers every single card available in the deck, so you can choose any card you want.
Garry
Great deck, weather you use this as a force deck you can't go wrong, also great for beginners, or make up your own deck tricks using thse cards, either way so much can be achieved with this type of deck.
Carlo
Add three or four unique cards at the front of this deck and you have the easiest force. You can even shuffle and retain the unique cards as a stack (either at the bottom or at the top!). The box isn’t sealed but Vanishing Inc ensures that their packages are tight. Your deck will be safe and complete. I plan to use this for Jay Sankey’s reconstruction and the six of clubs revelation for an Ellusionist marker reveal.
David
I think it's really good that Vanishing Inc have the whole range of cards in stock so that you can choose exactly which ones you want. This was the first every trick deck I had a long time ago. I have ordered a few from VI recently for different purposes with happy memories of those days when people always ended up choosing the 8 of Clubs! It goes without saying that the quality of the cards is good, being Bicycle cards to match all the other decks. They are a good price and arrived safely in good time. I will be buying others...
...I have indeed now bought other one-way forcing decks with other values. Really good!
Brent
Great quality as expected, they are the best
David
You can get so much mileage out of a forcing deck and I love that Vanishing Inc allow you to choose both the back colour and the card value. I bought the 7 of Clubs as an easy way to go with my 3-and-a-half of Clubs and there was even an extra 6 of Clubs hidden away in there too. Great value! Thanks.
Vince
There are so many great effects you can do with a one-way forcing deck and this one is particularly great because of the quality of the cards. The handling is very easy and you don't need any instructions. You just need to think of all the possibilities of this deck if you do card magic. Highly recommended. A Vanishing product at its best A+++++++++++++
Brennan
Truly one of the most powerful and deceptive tools if used correctly.
Garry
Great deck great routines with this deck, I also like to use just one of these card in a regular deck then use it as just a signed force card, so the spectator can then keep it as a souvenir, and still have plenty more to perform with for this and other routines too, so this deck is very usefull to have.
Amanda

Jason
Very good value from Vanishing Inc.👍
Scott
I don’t use these as a one-way forcing deck. Rather, I buy the deck with a card that has a lot of white space (e.g., 4H). Then I force that card and have it signed for a card trick. Then I use the remaining cards as refills for that effect or other effects like it. I buy a few of these with different values but still with a lot of white space. That way I can force a variety of different cards with a lot of white space for signature.
Andy
It’s exactly what you’d expect and has the same quality as any normal Bicycle deck. You can use it for more than just forcing, too. I use it for a quick icebreaker routine where I force a different card and then spread the deck to show how impossible it was that they picked the card that they did.
David
The service I received from Vanishing Inc on this simple order was outstanding. Very speedy packaging and delivery with great choice when choosing the force card. I love that Vanishing Inc allow you to choose both the back colour and the card value. I bought the coloured Joker to go with a trick I was trying to create. Great value! Thanks.
David
I keep buying these one way forcing decks from Vanishing Inc as they are so useful. As always very speedy packaging and delivery with great choice when choosing the force card. I love that Vanishing Inc allow you to choose both the back colour and the card value. This time I bought the 2 of Spades to go with the trick Dig It. Great value! Thanks.
Garry
Great deck especially for beginners, but as the force card I chose is my favourite card, I like to split these individual cards for certain card magic routines I like to perform.
Vince
Thes one-way decks are perfect. Vanishing does a great job with these and they are not imitations but pure USPC stock. Vanishing magic is so helpful and their customer service is the best. If you use one-way decks as an effect by themselves or incorporate them in another effect these are the decks for you. Highly recommended A+++++++++++++++++++
Vince
Perfect one-way decks from Vanishing and so many choices of which card or cards you may need. They are high quality, If you every have any questions about any items sold by Vanishing their customer service is excellent and they are quick to respond. Need a one-way deck? These are the ones you should be using. A++++++++++++++
Christopher
The one-way forcing deck is a fantastic and often overlooked tool that belongs in the arsenal of any working magician or serious card enthusiast. While forcing decks are typically associated with beginners or specific effects, this deck shines in a much more practical and professional way—especially for performers who need reliable replacement cards without the expense or waste of buying full decks repeatedly.
As you’d expect from Bicycle, the card quality is excellent. The stock feels identical to a standard Bicycle deck, with the familiar smooth finish that makes shuffling, spreading, and sleight-of-hand effortless. The cards handle beautifully right out of the box and hold up well under repeated use, which is crucial for performers who rely on consistency night after night.
What really sets this deck apart is its usefulness as a replacement source. In my own work, I often deal with a frequently marked, forced, or otherwise modified card that wears out faster than the rest of the deck. Instead of retiring an entire deck just because one card has seen better days, I can simply pull a fresh replacement from the one-way forcing deck. This saves money, reduces waste, and ensures my working deck always performs at its best.
Overall, this deck is an economical, practical, and high-quality solution for magicians who value efficiency and consistency. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a working professional, the one-way forcing deck is a smart investment that pays for itself over time.
