Ah. Thats not really what you explained in your first post. Or rather, that's not what i read! It sounded like they were alternating like most gimmicked decks.

That sounds like a set up for a deck that is still on sale. If its a bank of same/singular cards, that could be just about anything. Possibly the Phil deck. You'd have to buy one though to find out the workings though.

I have a deck of cards that's weird too. Instead of being normal (spades, hearts etc) they're called weird names like "cups" and "wands". They've also got some very weird cards that have names like "The High Priestess" and "The Wheel of Fortune". Any ideas? I think they may be a special Ellusionist deck. You know, like a "Ghost" deck or something.

Yes that's right, I think Ellusionist call it the "Torat" deck. Only $49.99 on their website at the moment in line with their normal pricing policy. There is also a stripper and svengali version and a "rising" version out later in the year. Why not buy all of them? Having "Death" rise out of the deck would be a cool effect - wonder why no one thought of it before?

I am not being understood very well, i don't know why!

My pack is ace thru king, hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades when face up, so that looks very normal. The thing is when you turn the whole pack face down and spread them you have a red backed card, then a 2 of hearts, then a red backed card, then a 2 of hearts, then a red backed card, then a 2 of hearts, all the way thru. So the ace of spades is a normal card, then the 2 of spades has a 2 of hearts on the back, then the 3 of spades is normal, then the 4 of spades has a 2 of hearts on the back etc........
Do that explain it better.
Cheers

This is sooo spooky. I have a deck of cards absolutely identical to those owned by themagicwand, identical except my cards have Mrs, Mrs, Miss and Master Bun the Baker, Soot the Sweep, Tape the Tailor, Bones the Butcher, Bung the Brewer - the all look like families and seem very happy indeed.....

oh your killing me, killing me with your wit lol..

So i take it, noboby actually knows what the pack is, that i have got.
I thought at least 1 person would know, with the amount of people on here.
Oh well, never mind.

Maybe i'll never know.

Thanks for leaving me with this dilema

Why not contact Clive or Jamie at www.cards4magic.co.uk and ask them if they can help identify the deck?
