Have you seen these? I thought just the backs of the cards were black and white, but even the hearts and diamonds are black. Well, they're more of a silver than a black, but it's a strange sight indeed. I'm sure we could all come up with come cool ideas to put them to use. I just wonder if anybody other than magicians would want them. It makes it harder to notice a flush draw in Hold 'Em!

They've been around for a couple months - I got mine at Target. There are 2 variations. I like them - they're similar in design to the other reverse print ones.

I doubt I would use it: to a lay person it looks gimmicked.

Cloneman - most laypeople don't think of cards (in general) as being "gimmicked" - just us magicians do. However, I wouldn't use these either.

These cards are definately not practical for any serious card magic; The edges look a little fishy during DL's and whatnot. However, for some fancy-pants cuts, fans and flourishes they do look nice.
And as always, it's nice to have another interesting deck for the collection. |

I would agree with the deck being hard to look at.
I have had the experience of using the entirely black and white Black tiger deck and also the light pink/green/blue bicycles where the pips are all white. It's kind of hard for the spectator to see what colour it is. Even so for myself when I try to do a colour separation! I would stick to "normal" decks. Ghosts included |
