HISTORY OF THE BLACK GHOST DECK

The Ellusionist-created Bicycle Black Ghost First edition decks have become something of legend. If you are familiar with the Black Ghost First edition tale, then you already know why these have been so sought after.

If you are new to what the Black Ghost first edition deck is, they are a short run of a black version of the Bicycle Ghost deck printed back in 2004. These decks became available in 2005 as part of our now-legendary holiday promotions. Since then, they have become an ultra-rare and highly-sought collector’s item. The Black Ghost First Edition decks are now in short supply at Ellusionist. Only 5000 decks were ever made at the US Playing Card Co. Since 2005, most of these decks have found their way into magicians hands rendering them all the more sought after. Of that 5000 deck supply, there are only about 2500 in circulation over the past 6 years.

They will NEVER be reprinted, nor sold at Ellusionist. The ONLY way to obtain one is through one of the many promotions or giveaways we have here at E.

The Black Ghost First Edition decks are quickly becoming extinct. It isn’t uncommon to see one selling for $400 on Ebay from time to time.

To own one is to have full bragging rights.

When these decks were run at the US Playing card company, Ellusionist secured 100 Black Ghost First Edition full Uncut Card Sheets right off of the press. Of these original 100, only about 15 uncut sheets are in circulation in the entire world. Their value is largely undetermined due to the scarcity of this very limited collectible.

Arcane Playing Cards Review by Mark Tirone

admin — Sat, 08 May 2010 21:53:07 +0000

Mark Tirone

I’ll admit, when I got these cards, I was fairly shocked.

It might have been because of how “poorly advertised” they were. But with that aside, let’s talk in full about the Arcane Deck from Ellusionist.

The design of this deck, like most “exotic” cards on the market, have a one way back design built into them.

The feel:

This is something I had some “peeves” with. When I first opened them up and played with them for a few days, the edges felt sandy. It was almost like a low grain sandpaper. I should tell you that these are a little thicker than regular Bicycle cards. Moving on to overall feel of the cards. These don’t feel like normal Bikes. They feel a lot softer. Normal Bicycle playing cards have a very light oily touch. When you slide your finger across the surface of these babys, it just goes.

Handling:

These merit a very small window for opportunity in handling. Due to the edges and sides sticking together, you are left with nice clumps. These aren’t bad in normal card handling though. What I mean is for all my flourishing friends, if you do an elaborate 40 packet display cut, you will have an easier time doing it because they stick together where you cut. However, Sometimes when you are doing more “in the hands” flourishing where speed and fluidity is key, they tend to get a little choppy and blocky. So keep that in mind.
Design:

I generally don’t feel these types of cards look great in performance. I can’t really complain about the card faces. They look nice. Faded indexes and pips. Blood red hearts and diamonds. Silver spades and clubs. It adds a ghostly feel to them. Also, the court cards (Kings, Queens, Jacks). These are really faded and simplified. To add further design, smoke is going behind them. This looks INCREDIBLE. And lastly, the Ace of Spades….looked decent. So in wrapping up my design rant, these cards fit the role.

Other designs:

What does that mean? This means the Jokers and Case design pretty much. However, the design of this deck, like most “exotic” cards on the market, have a “one way” back design built into them. The 2 Jokers provided in this deck look really eerie. Each one had a Ghoulish creature creeping through the card in smoke. One Joker is actually a subtle card revelation. In fact, too subtle for practical use. Unless you are reading it up close, it might not be noticed in a real revelation effect. And finally, the case design. I wasn’t a fan. Too much unused space. You get the back design which is reasonable, and then the front is the design of the Ace of Spades. What I don’t like, is how prosthetic it looks. It just has a lot of wasted space all filled in with black.

For the overall review, I would say that these are worth your money if you are planning to use them for flourishing, or even just display. Sure they handle like butter (I STILL can’t believe they aren’t butter!), but they are hard to “understand”. On an overall rating, I would say a 3.5 out of 5.

Pros:
-Handle like butter
-Nice flourishing
-Stay together for ease
-Look catchy
-Thicker stock

Cons:
-Too complicated
-Hard to see in many places
-Sandy edges
-Smell bad (YUCK!)
