BICYCLE RIDER BACK MATCHBOOK CARDS
8 BOOKS OF MATCHES EACH DIFFERENT CARD
All 8 Matchbooks are in Like New Condition.
BACKGROUND: In the late 1970's and early 1980's, the Diamond Match company put out matchbooks with a Bicycle Rider back cover, and inside each book was imprinted a single playing card. Wow! What a boon to magicians who wanted to do something different with their card magic. Inevitably, some routines with these matchbooks hit the market. Unfortunately, it seems the partnership between Diamond Matches and the USPC was short-lived, as the matchbooks disappeared from the grocery store and smoke shop shelves, and magic lost that particular avenue for extra interest in card magic.
