Deck Review - Disney Mickey and Friends Playing Cards

Magic Orthodoxy reviews the Disney Mickey and Friends Playing Cards, a standard Bicycle deck manufactured by USPCC, from both a magician's and card enthusiast's perspective. The deck features vibrant artwork with classic Disney characters like Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy, but has a non-symmetrical back design that may limit its use for certain magic tricks requiring one-way backs. Handling is praised for its reliable Bicycle performance, with good fanning, spreading, and springing capabilities, making it suitable for basic cardistry and general magic. The review highlights it as a fun, accessible deck perfect for Disney fans, casual performers, or as a gift, though professional magicians might find the back design restrictive for specific routines. Overall, it's a colorful addition to collections that maintains the familiar feel and reliability of standard Bicycle cards.
