The Original.,
This review is from: Bicycle BLACK Tiger Playing Cards Deck by Ellusionist (RARE) (Misc.)
"Often imitated, but never duplicated."
These are the real deal. When these cards were released, they resulted in an entire line of "similar" cards trying to match the success of the Black Tiger deck from other competitors. They don't even come close. QUALITY AND DESIGN: These cards are top-notch. You can feel the difference between the thicker card stock of the Black Tiger deck compared to a regular deck. The card finish is the highest quality and has a nifty UV component, which allows it to glow under black light. Even if you don't do magic, these are perfect for poker players and card collectors. At your next poker game, show your buddies something different. The Black Tigers are a work of art. And for all you card manipulators out there, these are the all-around best cards readily available. The design will turn heads and draw attention. Don't be confused though; Black Tigers are not just eye candy. The deck works great for any sybils, cuts, and fans that you can think of. MAGICIAN'S POINT OF VIEW: Imagine you took pictures of a deck of cards and you developed those photos. While going through the negatives included, you notice a distinct, almost eerie black and white version of your cards. This is what the Black Tiger deck resembles. As a magician, these cards are only limited by your imagination. These cards borderline paranormal when used in black light environments. I went to a Cosmic Bowling event with a few friends (for those unfamiliar, they replace all the lights with black lights and glowing bowling balls) and I decided to bring my Black Tiger deck. When we got bored, I prepared a quick magic trick. I brought out a regular deck of cards and had my friend "select" one. I went into a short story about how different lighting conditions change our perspective. I proceeded to do a simple color change and all that was left was the inverted Black Tiger version of her card GLOWING right in front of her. Needless to say, she freaked out. Do NOT underestimate the UV card finish. It is pretty magical in its own right. Personally, I love the pure black and white version of the Tigers. They just look so perfect when I "drain" all the colors from a normal card. But, Ellusionist also has the Black Tiger deck with blood red colored pips. It's a matter of preference, but it is nice that you have an option. In terms of its sleek design, smooth handling, durability, and price, I give these cards a 4.5 stars / 5 stars. These definitely are top of the line playing cards, but the price may be a bit more than average for a deck of cards (although the price is justified by the amount of ink required for each deck).

Good, but not great.,

This review is from: Bicycle BLACK Tiger Playing Cards Deck by Ellusionist (RARE) (Misc.)
In terms of quality, they are only beat by the Masters deck. These cards are smooth and crisp, making fans and flourishes more satisfying than ever. The black background definitely adds an eerie and mysterious feel to the deck, drawing attention anywhere I pull them out. This makes for a great ice breaker at parties, especially when you want to attract that one girl's attention.
However, as I already said, its quality does not compare to that of the Masters deck. Also, the red-pipped Tiger deck looks much better than this black and white deck. The red on black color scheme adds so much to the beauty and artistic feel of the cards that I don't understand why Ellusionist even sells the colorless version. Overall, it gets a 7/10, because by itself, it is certainly an amazing deck. But if you are going to buy a Tiger deck (which you definitely should, as they are worth every penny), go for the red-pipped one because they are worth it at even twice the price. - Bubloo (bubloox)

A Recommended Buy! :-),
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bicycle BLACK Tiger Playing Cards Deck by Ellusionist (RARE) (Misc.)
This is a really good deck.
I received it in four days, shipped in 2. Looks great. The white pips add a sort of conformity. The backs are outstanding. They are pretty much a washed out version of the "Riderback" series. 2 reveals, top and barcode. Handles awesome. UV500 air flow finish The sides aren't chipping for me. I don't know how other people use their cards. I use mine for magic, tricks, and flourishes. I strongly recommend buying this deck of cards. Comes with... 2 ad cards for ellusionist. 52 cards 2 jokers card box pamphlet of other ellusionist decks Thanks for reading!:)
