I got my Ghost Decks quite some time ago. Ordered it from the supplier from the US. This is a really cool looking deck but you won’t be seeing me doing magic with this deck though haha because it is expensive and too good to be used =) However if I do have another Ghost deck, then I will use one and keep the other one haha. One cool thing about this deck is the color, all the pips on the hearts and diamonds are colored blood red, which contrasts the all white card and this gives a really good look to the cards. Awesome! There is another version out there called the Ghost Deck Second Edition which is black in color, something like the Shadow Masters but different. Plan to add that to my collection soon =)I do not do much card magic because there are much greater effects out there involving many other items such as coins, balls, pens, watches, rings and so so so many more. I am more into stage magic and I love playing with silks a lot =)
One more note to everyone out there. Please do not think of magic as a cheap art. Do not view magicians as schemers or tricksters. There are a lot of people out there who tarnished the once respected art of magic because of their lack of knowledge. People think that they are magicians if they hold a deck of cards and know some cool “tricks”. However I want to tell you that being a magician is more than that. We dedicate ourselves to this art and we practice a lot before even doing one trick. There is a Korean magician who isolated himself for two years on a hilltop in Korea just to practice and perfect his coin magic. And for two whole years his only friends were his coins. Now he is a renown magician in Korea.
As for me, I do practice a lot before I even attempt to show the trick to my magician friends who already know how it is done. Just to let you know, I did a 50 minute show in my college’s Christian Fellowship camp the other day. I practiced for three weeks for that 50 minutes show.
So please do take us magicians seriously and do not think of us as people who just want to fool others. We spend a lot of time and money in our hobby. Magic is like playing music in a band, or kicking the ball in the field, or taking photographs and constantly upgrading your camera. Magic is just like all those hobbies but it is much more… Magic is an art.
See you soon for a magical experience. Tata! =)
The Ghost Deck. What I love about it (among many other things) is that all the pips on the Hearts and Diamonds card are colored BLOOD RED. So nice. Look at the King of Hearts.
Saw the Red color pips? So nice. It gives a feel to the all white cards.
It fans well also (because it is new). And I am not good in fanning haha.
The Aces. Oh so cool! Plus the Joker. Wow.
Next on my list is Ghost Deck Second Edition!!! Woo hoo. It is in black and more new features.
