I've got some normal Blue Bicycle Masters, and they're sooo nice, so i can only imagine how HOT these cards must be! I'm gonna have to get myself a deck.

Not a bad deck, but it's too black for my taste. With the Black Ghost it's sort of faded and has more white and with the Shadow Masters it's black..period. It's hard to admire the back design with so much business going on. In terms of quality, this is a really nice deck.

Wow!! this deck is unbelievable. When ever i take this deck out people turn there heads and are immediately in to what i am doing and curious to what i am doing. One thing i really like is the double backer. You can do some really great tricks with it and its nice because you can open up a brand new box and you are set to go for any double backer trick. The only thing that would make this deck better is if there was a full gaff deck as well.

It is definitely very high quality, regardless of the looks. A tiny bit heavy though, but then again, so are all black cards.

Love the black ghost and shadow masters but black ghosts win in my book cuz the masters are like...so black that it's hard to admire anything about it. I do think the ace and jokers on the masters are cooler. But I only bought one black ghost and like 3 shadow masters cuz they're awesome.

You're right about the cost, it's way to expensive for a deck of cards

Default Shadow Master

I am using Shadow Master lately to do my performance. The deck quality is good and better than the normal bicycle deck. The problem that make this deck not good is, the side will be visible if you are double lifting. For a new deck, that won't happen, but when you use it more longer, you will know what I mean.

Same quality between both black ghosts and shadow masters. Both excelent decks. SM is very dark and blood redish, while the BG maintains the regular ghosts elegant nature. Both printed on the same card stock with the same finish.

These cards are only too expensive if you are not very smart about using them and buying them. Buy a brick (which makes them cheaper) and take care of them. They will outlast most other cards out there, the definitely outperform most cards (with the exception of their thickness which is a downside for XCM) and they will get you noticed. DO NOT WASTE THESE CARDS PRACTICING. Us them only when performing, keep them in a clip, and take care of them, and suddenly these expensive cards become a steal. Even when the edges start to wear a bit, they ALL wear, and you can still get away with double, triple, even quad lifts if you aren't daft about it and use subtle misdirection.

If you feel like being somewhat professional about your magic, and like the look of these cards, get them. Use them. Protect them. If you do magic just to screw around, don't waste your time. You will just end up like many others who bought a deck, ruined it, then complained that they are not worth the price. Yes, you do pay more, but they are high quality card that people will remember you for.
