::Ghost Deck Review::

:infopic:
So here I am, sitting at home, relaxing. Suddenly, I hear the mail drop through the slot. One thought goes through my head: ?It?s Here.? I quickly run to the mail. Forget about all that other stuff. I ran to the kitchen, grabbed a knife and tore open the package. Inside were three boxes of cards. The boxes themselves put a spell on me. They looked exceedingly beautiful, with the hotter-than-tally-ho ace of spades design on the front. I ran up to the magic room and ripped open the cellophane. I carefully tore the seal off, and began my adventure with the ghost deck. I took the deck out and ribbon spread it on the table with with a turnover. It was like butter, and it spread GREAT. I did a turnover, and was shocked by the faces.

The pictures do NOT give the deck justice. No photograph ever could. They would have to be seen to be believed. I did a thumb fan, and it fanned perfectly on the first try, no clumps or gaps. I own Viper?s and Tiger?s as well and let me say, not only are these cards the best of the three, these have CLASS. These are the cards a high-roller would use. Images come to mind, a V.I.P, black tie, with the magician strolling around using Ghost?s, for the best and most articulate sleight of hand. Anyways, The Ghost is a true pleasure to use and perform with. Just today I did Gypsy Burn from Shapeshifter, but with an all new twist, the life force of the card being sucked out. This has infinite possibilities. Ultra-Smoke 2000 owners I am sure will find dozens of uses for the Ghost and there Ultra-Smoke. This is the highest quality deck EVER made. The design is elegant, and it is great for everything. Color Changes, XCM, Magic, Gambling, it all is made more elegant by this deck. If you show up with this deck at a gig, they will know that you mean business.

The deck does not crimp easily either! It takes a beating. Countless Springs, Shuffles, and cuts later, not to mention Hot-Shot Cuts, it still makes a perfect fan. I have not seen any cards, Vipers or Tigers for that matter, ever accomplish this. I have become hooked on them, and I think you will too.

Design: 10/10
How much more beautiful could a deck get? This brings custom playing cards to a whole new level. Not just a color change, but a re-design. The Ace of Spades looks better than ever! I say it looks better than a Tally-Ho Ace.

Function: 10/10
These don?t only look good, they get there job done as well. They passed the test with flying colors. Extreme durability make this deck great for long sessions and performances. Strolling magicians will love it because of it?s ability to hold-up even through a long days work.

Pricing: 7/10
Very inexpensive compared to the Vipers or Tigers, but still not at a price where I could use them for EVERY performance or practice. If they could get these down to $3.50 it would be a miracle, but with the cost of production, I wouldn?t say it is too bad.

Overall: 10/10
All in all, I am very, VERY happy with this purchase, and I can assuredly say I will be buying some more. I highly recommend these cards to be added to your arsenal. They will make long, hard performances classier and much stronger for your audience. This deck stimulates creativity and your desire to perform. Again I say, Highly Recommended. You will be shocked by these cards

I had this deck, and the fake one, with the gimmick cards and stuff. They were ok, but i personally prefer a normal deck you can get at a local store, because then I dont worry about damage...

Dotti · 09-12-2007, 12:51 AM

I would take a Ghost over a normal one anyday

im ordering a ghost (should get it around 1 week from now ^^) and i cant wait. It is going to be so much fun, and i FINALLY will have a good deck of cards that doesnt clump at all ^^ yay me

Thanks much for the review.
Is the stock as thick as all the other E decks?

genetix · 09-28-2007, 09:35 PM

i just got my 3 deck sample, and the ghost deck is pretty nice, but i don't see it as being that amazing, it's just a normal bicycle deck
//merged//
it does fan very very nicely tho!

DonVito91 · 09-30-2007, 06:23 AM

that was a great review Exo.You actually made me order the ghst deck

Theorapper · 10-07-2007, 09:17 AM

The ghost deck is for sure one of the best decks it is better than the tiger but not as good as the vipers. i have one but at the moment i'm using the masters

fknrandom · 10-07-2007, 10:07 AM

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe that all bicycle decks as in red, blue, viper and ghost are exactly the same only that the inking/design is different. I don't see how ghost would fan better than a normal red deck.

I have all 4 and I don't notice anything different between them.. maybe it's just me. Ghost decks look pretty awesome, but it'd be better if not just the pips were red i reckon.

nixamas · 10-08-2007, 10:21 AM

I had just ordered a Ghost Deck right before I read this article. Now I cant wait for my deck to get here so I can play with them. Excellent article Exo.

Shinigami · 10-13-2007, 10:01 PM

Man.... would love to get the ghost deck too

But, I thought there was recent news bout the ghost deck being warped and bent when it arrives?? Did any of you have those problems? Cause I don't wanna waste my money buying warped cards (if they warp after being used a little, then I've got nothing to say)

Thanks

Pein · 10-15-2007, 09:11 PM

Thanks for the review, I got to get me a Ghost now. I still got to wait for my Tigers, though next time I get some cards I will defenetly get a Ghost Deck!

BlahBlahBlah32 · 11-26-2007, 02:23 PM

VassBoy · 11-27-2007, 05:48 AM
