Deck Review - Wednesday Addams from Bicycle Cards

Magic Orthodoxy reviews the Wednesday Addams deck from Bicycle Cards, a themed release inspired by the Netflix series, evaluating it from both collector and performer perspectives. The deck, produced by USPCC, offers reliable handling typical of Bicycle cards, with a visually striking gothic design that appeals to fans and collectors. While it excels as a conversation piece and for its aesthetic value, the bold custom back might signal a trick deck to suspicious spectators, making it less ideal for versatile magic performances. The review suggests that magicians might prefer more classic designs for serious routines, but it remains a solid choice for those who appreciate pop-culture themes.
