This deck came in a white pip version and a later red pip version. The White pip version was manufactured with the UV-500 (aka UV500) Airflow finish. This entry is for the White Pip UV500 Airflow version, printed in Ohio.

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 is the first collaboration for 1ST Playing cards. We’ve teamed up with the Legendary Bicycle Rider Backs for this limited release. The Rider Backs are simply the most iconic deck of cards in history and heavily protected, in fact, the only other entity to ever manipulate the back design in almost 150 years is NASA, a collaboration which happened over 50 years ago.
