Tally-Ho Circle Back Playing Cards

Tally Ho's are classic cards and in my opinion they have the best back design of any other card. I know millions will disagree but there it is. The only thing I ever had a problem with is that there are no double backers or blank faces. I think thats where they always fall short. Granted these cards aren't specifically made for magicians but it would be nice to not have to search them out or split cards.

These cards are pretty good! They handle well, I like the back design, and I like to think of the finish as “air cushion but more.” These cards last a long time, and they’re very stiff, which I like. Only bad thing is that the box really isn’t very durable, it started falling apart in like a week, Other than that, pick some up!

Tally-ho are personal my favourite choice in card magic. These are better that the classic bicycle cards with the air cushion finish in my personal opinion. These card have a Linoid finish, which are much better for any card manlipulation acts. They hold together better during card controls and flourish with ease. Card springs, and any one handed fans with these cards are beautiful executed.
If you’re looking for the extra double back cards or a blank face in these card ranges, you best pickup either the limited edition Tally-ho’s or the black circle/ fan back decks which do have these additional cards included in the pack. Black circle/ fan backs shouldn’t be too much more than these red/ blue range. I also like the fact that although they’re a little bit more expensive they can take a good beating and do last a bit longer than the standard Bicycle rider back card decks.

Great deck excellent stock great for flourishes fans and cardistry.

Bought these as a curiosity to see how they perform compared to riders. Can't say that I can feel a major difference but i love the back design. The symmetry is very pleasing. I go through a lot of cards as I pretty much always have a pack in hand. These don't dissapoint to be honest. When new they are quite slippery so you need to control your spreads well. I will definitely buy these again.

Having not touched a pack of these since 2014 (finally ran out of Costco Bicycle Standards), I forgot how much better they are. To my eyes, the classic circle back design is the best. It's less busy in comparison to Rider Backs, but still fancy, elegant and understated. All of my magic heros seem to favor Tallys (Vernon, Marlo, Kaps, Bertram), and it's obvious why. Glad the Erlanger factory has them relatively close to how the Cincinnati factory had them.
