The original Black Tiger RED PIPS deck released by Ellusionist and printed in Ohio. Several editions of this deck exist with slight differences in tuck case due to the huge print runs along the years.

Longtime Playing Card enthusiast with many in my collection. Started with getting uncuts from Ellusionist.com, and remember my first Black Ghost deck and the reactions they got. I own a small Meadery (honey-wine) operation in northern Illinois. We don't sell our liquids online, but we do have a small merchandise shop on Shopify. Names of our products, the branding, themes and designs all focus on Magic or Parlor games...my father used to take me every Saturday to a magic shop to learn tricks when I was growing up and it was a huge part of my life when young and into college...and of course now it has become a major component of the business I've built. Well anyways -- after much work with our designer, we ended up developing our first deck of cards. It was a bit of a project, but I hope we can do more down the road. I don't know if anyone here would ever be interested in them since they are branded around a meadery, but I wanted to show them off. We designed them with the highest grade stock offered by the USPC, and we went with a linen finish so they cards slide nicely for those who use decks for illusions and sleight of hand. I'd say if I have one regret, it would be not going with a very cool custom box a la Kings Wild Project....but maybe we'll do a LE down the road.
