It's definitely planned - the noses aren't misprints - they're drawn differently.

The Tigers have some differences on almost all of the court cards. I haven't really looked closely enough at the Ghosts, but I'll let you know.

I could have also put that - the pun was:

Who nose - instead of knows - just in case you missed it Wink

Steve - it's not a misprint. A misprint is an accident - when EVERY deck has it, it's either a design flaw (highly unlikely) or an intentional change. Ergo - it was drawn differently.

Demitri, check again, it has not been drawn differently.

it is missing a bit and mine still has a faint outline for where that extra line shud have been. Yes it might be deliberate, but it has not been re-designed.

The Jack has the fade, I'll give you that...

You might want to check the Black Tigers - the nose differences are EXACTLY the same. This was a design choice, not a printing flaw. The noses were NEVER identical.

That I can't answer. I've actually written Ellusionist to ask but never got an answer about it.

I'm assuming it's to use certain cards for a one-way principle - but I don't think it's very useful to do so face up.

Apolgies if there is a better place to ask this, but I was wondering what would be the simplest/ cheapest place to order these cards from if I live in Scotland? Just to save working out the currency conversion on ellusionist.

And sorry for the bump Sad.

You can do all the tricks that you do with a regular deck of Bikes or Tally's.

The Ghost Deck, unless you bought one of the gaff ones, is just a regular deck of cards, albeit fancy-looking.

Me, personally, I preffer the Black Tiger Deck as somebody already mentioned it almost looks like the cards are photocopied.
