Bicycle Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards – 52-Card Deck for Games & Cartomancy

The Bicycle Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards are a 52-card deck designed for both traditional card games like poker and cartomancy (tarot-style fortune telling). Made in the USA by The United States Playing Card Company, these cards feature a custom fortune telling-themed design with unique art and sayings, an Air Cushion finish for smooth handling, and are printed with non-toxic, plant-based inks.

Designed for two worlds: games and divination

This deck draws on the legacy of Anne Marie Le Normand, a celebrated French mystic whose system of card reading has influenced modern cartomancy. The cards include fortune telling sayings and imagery that make them suitable for readings, while maintaining a standard 52-card structure that works for any traditional game. Whether you're playing poker with friends or exploring the meanings behind each card, this deck adapts to your purpose.

What's inside the deck

Each card is printed with non-toxic, plant-based inks, reducing environmental impact and ensuring safe handling. The Air Cushion finish provides a smooth, durable texture that makes shuffling and dealing easy—whether for long card game sessions or repeated readings. The custom design features vivid colors and thematic artwork that sets it apart from standard playing cards.

A deck with a history

Bicycle's Gypsy Witch deck has been a favorite among magicians and card enthusiasts. It's the same deck that inspired David Blaine's interest in magic. Produced at the United States Playing Card Company facility in Erlanger, Kentucky, this deck carries a tradition of quality that dates back over a century.

Technical specifications

Can you use Gypsy Witch cards for regular card games?

Yes. Despite the fortune telling theme, these are standard 52-card playing cards. You can use them for poker, bridge, rummy, solitaire, or any game that uses a regular deck. The only difference is the artwork; the suits and ranks are all present.

Are the cards safe and eco-friendly?

The cards are printed with non-toxic, plant-based inks, which means they contain no harmful chemicals and are better for the environment. The Bicycle Air Cushion finish is a classic feature that provides slip and durability, but it does not affect safety.

Is this deck suitable for complete beginners in cartomancy?

The fortune telling sayings printed on the cards can help newcomers begin reading right away. However, the deck uses the traditional playing card suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) rather than a dedicated tarot structure, so you may want a reference guide for deeper interpretations. The card itself does not come with an instruction booklet, but many online resources exist for Gypsy Witch reading methods.
