Personaly I'd get neither. If I wanted to use gaff cards I would use 2faced by Dave Forrest. This contains the DVD and some really good gaff cards.

But If I was to get one of either ghost or red deck, I would get red purely because so many laypeople look at the ghost and tiger deck and think they are gaffed, so if you're about to perform a trick with a ghost/tiger gaff deck you don't want them to think it's gaffed even before you start! They'll be all like 'let me so those cards' which you know you can't do until the end.

Don't get me wrong I like the black decks for flourishes and colour changes but I'm just not a fan of using them as normal cards.

Also, why don't you head over to the Introductions area to well, introduce yourself!

Both sets are pretty much equal. I prefer the red deck, but thats purely because they are a more normal looking prop IMO.

Nice zipper card in the red deck also!

I use MagicMagic.co.uk on a regular basis and their service is very good.

Yu can buy from ebay for a few pence cheaper but my own view is that you often take a risk when buying from unknown sources.

You won't have any problems with MagicMagic.

I think it's time to say the magic phrase, "Google is your friend..." and to ask that you shrink that signature image. It's far bigger than your posts!

I bought "army of 52" only last week which is the red bicycle deck version(I can't remember where I bought them from as I have used several sites recently).

It came with a DVD that was supposed to complement the deck but the DVD related to the ghost deck which has some differences to the red backed bicycle deck.

If you are going to get the DVD make sure it fits the deck that you buy. Ghost deck and red deck seem to be the same quality. I prefer the red deck as they appear more "regular" looking to most spectators in the UK . It might be that people already suspect something strange when they see you use a normal ghost deck, which you will for many of the tricks.

If you bother to look at the delivery details on their website it tells you.

1-2 business days.

I'd get the red too, just for the same reason 'everyone thinking the ghosts or tiger are gaffed anyway'...

Sorry *Reaper* we had to remove your sig as, especially in threads like this, all we could see were successions of the image. If you get a smaller version it will be better - no more than about 3 lines if text is about right.
