How is it a trick deck?
Ok, we all know that as magicians, we get accused of using trick decks all the time.
Well, I've been experimenting with custom decks like, Ghost, Shadow Masters, etc. And people always assume it's a trick deck. Well the obvious logic to that is because it looks different. Espiecally the Ghost deck, it has recieved a lot of flap when I use them, they say it's weird that the red cards have red and black suits.
Why do they believe it a trick deck? Logically, this doesn't make sense. If we were going to use a trick deck, we would make it look exactly the same as a normal deck. Why would we make a trick deck that sticks out??? Have you ever seen a secret agent like James Bond stick out??? No. They disguise themselves to blend in, so they don't draw attention to themselves.
I know I'm saying this from a magicians perspective, but if I thought out this logically as a laymen, I would think the same.
