Customer Reviews

The Black Ghost Deck -- enter into the twilight zone
I love the black ghost deck, it complements the white ghost deck perfectly. I particularly love the jokers in this deck. This deck is the black deck on a whole other level.

If you want to add this puppy to your card party arsenal, are a magician, or a collector like me, you have my permission to step lively, and enter into the twilight zone.

Something Different
While the Ellusionist site is mainly dedicated to the science and art of prestidigitation, I use these cards for everyday use. After years of playing with the same old, boring cards, I searched the 'net for something new and found these. I was a little skeptical about black playing cards, and initially I (and the people I play with) found them a little difficult to use, but you quickly become adapted to the reversed color, and have even come to prefer them over standard white cards. The reversed contrast somehow makes them a little easier on the eyes over time than white cards.

The quality of the cards are very good, although not as high quality as other decks, but then those other decks can cost 2-3 times as much. You should expect at least a year of fairly constant play from these cards unless you're a marathon player.

I'm giving the same review to both the Shadow Masters and the Second Edition Black Ghost cards as they are very similar to each other. The difference between the two decks are mainly the Jokers and and the fact that the Shadow Masters tend to darken towards the center of the card.

If you are an avid, or even occasional card player and are looking for something new and unique to liven up you card playing, check these cards out. You won't be disappointed.
