The 1st Edition Ellusionist Tally-Ho Viper Circle back has a few key differences from the reprinted 2008 Viper deck. Most significantly is the change in tagline below the TALLY-HO brand in the title block. Originally labeled as 'Striking Playing Cards' the final production deck changed to a tagline emphasizing the qualities of the cards 'Ultimate Card Handling'. Secondary differences can be seen in the viper itself, changing from the backward 'S' shape to a more winding viper in the final production. Final differences can be seen in the bottom flap where no bar code was yet introduced or even the Ellusionist logo itself.

This series of decks is made by special arrangement with the EPCC and USPCC. After 20 years of research we believe it is not possible, at this time, to make better cards at USPCC. We predict that this series of decks will become legendary for serious card handlers. And even though these are NOT a limited edition we cannot guarantee that we will be allowed to make them again in the future.
