Everything about the Ghost Deck is white, black or gray. The only red portion is BLOOD red and is the small pip underneath the index. In other words, no part of the card is red except the tiny pip underneath the index and that's on the hearts and diamonds on the deck. Even the court cards have the color drained out of them which makes for a powerful and eerie deck. Designed by Ellusionist, the Bicycle Ghost Deck has a UV-500 finish, thick high grade stock, and an amazing design. Five solid months of design work went into the Ghost Deck. It maintains the general Bicycle look-feel, but adds incredible touches that the red and blue decks lack. Latin on the Joker says: "The World Invites Deception". One of the Jokers is stepping on an Ace of Clubs, one is not. When you turn the Ace of Spades upside down, you'll notice snake heads at the base of the pip. In addition, there is a hand coming out of the top of the Ace. Whereas the Black Tiger Deck is tight, focused and aggressive, the Ghost emanates beauty and energy. The back is reverse imaged while the front is nearly completely black also, leaving just the tiny pips on the hearts and diamonds a deep red. Most striking is the Ace of Spades, a blend of beauty and vague terror, reminiscent of 19th century playing card work. Bicycle can finally lay claim to the same or greater beauty for its Ace of Spades as the magnificent Tally-Ho Ace.
