Ghost Deck

I bought a slightly used ghost deck from cameraboirzu a while back because I didn't want to pay seven dollars plus shipping for a deck of cards which I have never tried out, so cameraboirzu sold me his because he had a new ghost deck, which turned out to be screwed up because it came with, like 14 aces and 2 cards with clubs.

Anywho, I thought I'd write a review of the ghost deck

The Looks: 10 out of 10
All I can say is wow, these are stunning, the backs look amazing and kill when used in a deck color change like blindsided. The ace of spades is amazing, and the jokers, one of which has a reveal built in look awesome! Even the add cards rock

The Box: 8 out of 10

The box looks just as awesome as the deck, and has two reveals built in, the only problem I've heard of was that they sometimes get kinda mangled when the deck is being shipped.

The usefulness: 10 out of 10

These card's spread and fan insanely well, and it is easy to do any sleight with these

I highly recommend the ghost deck!

I agree the ghost deck is great. They have a very clean appearance. Although if people don't pay attention to the card they don't realize they saw a red card because only the corner pip is colored.

I got to handle a deck and I dunno, I really wish I pulled away with what all of you did. =[ They handled great but they didn't look as great as I thought they would.

I like the ghost deck, but if I had to choose one, I would go with the black tiger. The ghost is nice, and especially good for your haunted effects, but they don't pack as much of a punch as some of the other ones, namely my favorite, the black tiger.

ghosts are way better in every way. I am not a fan of e cards either but the ghosts catches my attention. Black tiger sucks. I mean the design is awesome but the finish is horrible after a hour of palying with them they don't fan at all. On the other hand the ghosts doing great!

I think the ghosts are awesome, from the pictures I didn't like the design as much as the black tigers, but when I held them in my hand I was just like "WOW" I love them, I treasure them as well, they've held up for a good month now, but I only use them after washing my hands, and I don't bend them at all, so that could be behind that, but the finish is great, after a month they still fan like a new pack of cards....the black tigers are great as well, the finish isn't as good, but they are still decenct cards, the stock is sturdier than the ghost, they seem more durable, and the fanning and spreading effect is a lot more visual, and strong compared to the ghosts.

Personally, I think the ghosts are brilliant. They handle well and colour scheme blew the mind of some of my spectators. I dislike the design of the jokers though, it doesnt fit the feel of the rest of the deck.

I'm surprised this post is still around, but anyway, i never got to post my comments about these cards.

They're very good, great at fanning...basically everything Dabombdiggaty said, but I think that if you used fanning powder or something to make them fan better, they will fan that really well much longer.
