    Hmmm, wouldn't mind getting myself a pack of those either. Getting fed up with some of the lads bending the cards and spilling crap on them. Anyone know if they are available anywhere in town? Don't have a CC and don't fancy topping up my 3V for such a small amount, cheers.

    Someone gave me a deck. Never use them, and no idea where they were bought. I'm sure somewhere in town will have them though. Bound to.

    I have a deck of them. Got them overseas. They are pretty cool to look at alright. Used them once - they are fairly hard to 'peek' at them !

    Hmmm, I was fearful of that - think I'll give them a miss so.

    They're Bicycle Clear cards - more for jokes / fun games than serious games.
    No real market for them, so we don;t stock them.


    For regular 100% plastic cards you can get Copags in the Wick & Co. Candle store directly opposite Trinity college along with a small range of other poker stuff.

    I had these in college (but doubt it was me that you seen with them).
    They aren't bicycle MCaul, but aren't too behind Kem and Copaq inb quaility.

    I bought them in the Jervis centre in dublin, in the Gadget shop. They probably do online orders too.

    hope that helps

    If you're playing a serious game don't get these, they're a gimic. Get the copags in the candle shop, I got a pack & they're lovely and will last a good while.
