You are a player, a collector, a magician or you love fantasy artworks... Come with us into the <strong>Bicycle ® 4 Elements Project.</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong><u>The Tuck cases :</u></strong></p>
<p>
The tuck cases look like miniaturized old books as if each deck could tell you a story.</p>
<p>
By collecting the 4 <strong>Bicycle ® 4 Elements </strong>you will get a complete small library of 4 tomes.</p>

<strong><u>The suits :</u></strong></p>
<p>
We worked very hard on each suit to make them correspond to one element:</p>
<p>
Spades become symbol of AIr, Hearts represent Fire, Diamonds reflect Water and finally Clubs the Earth.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong><u>The crown Characters:</u></strong></p>
<p>
King and queen become God and Goddess of their own element. They are a powerful and rich character protected by their respective jack who is a fantasy creature.</p>
<p>
The artwork design on each card is colourful and full of small details which remind us of the Magic of the 4 Elements.</p>

<strong><u>The point cards :</u></strong></p>
<p>
Compared to an ordinary deck, all the aces have a special design full of details and not just the Ace of Spades.</p>
<p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
To make this deck more original, we broke the classical codes. Each point card has a design which differ from the regular disposition.</p>

<u>The Jokers :</u></p>
<p>
In the <strong>Bicycle ® 4 Elements</strong> the jokers won't be men as they are used in 95% of all playing cards.</p>
<p>
Here you will find two beautiful women. They are magicians who are twins linking the power of four Elements. </p>

<p>
<strong><u>The Backs:</u></strong></p>
<p>
Each deck of cards <strong>Bicycle ® 4 Elements </strong>will have a specific back design around with its own element.</p>
<p>
The 54 playing cards based on the Air theme will have a back side tone inspired by clouds.</p>
<p>
The backs about the Fire topic will be shaded of red and orange, the Water deck will have a blue colour, and the Earth deck will be vegetal green colorized.</p>

<p>
Our common passion in these domains gave us the opportunity to launch many projects:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
- The first magical comic book.</p>

- With Jean Charles BRIAND, the <strong>Bicycle ® Fast'n'Genious </strong>playing cards </p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
The whole project including the offer from US Playing Cards Company, the artwork designer fees and communication charges, cost about 27 500 €.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Each of us will pay 10.000€, if we get 7 500€, we will be able to launch the entire project. Each of the 4 decks will be printed in 2.500 units, and will not be printed anymore.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If we reach 200% or 300% of our goal, we will improve the standard tuck cases characteristics (Gold foil...)</p>
