Thanks all! I need to tell you that the bullet hole is a gaff card. the acutal cards are going to be "normal". the story of the gaff cards goes like this: you force the spectator to pick the 4 of clubs and make it disappear into the deck again. now say "any card you grab from the deck now will be you card!". now force them to take the 5 of clubs and say "was that you card?" they will say no, it was the 4 of clubs. now switch the card with top switch(optional) and hide the bullet hole with all you fingers as if you were hiding a ripped of corner(hope that explained). now throw the card into the air while spinning while acting shooting a hole in the card by shouting "BANG!" and point your finger at the card. they turn it arround from the ground and will see that you shot a pip away from the card.

Ace of spades and some royals will be posted very soon!

It's a nice custom gaff card.

The deck overall isn't bad.  The back needs some work - the money bags don't seem to fit well in the design, nor do the skulls.  Think of things more traditionally associated with the Old West - wagon wheels, horses, rifles, etc.

Your courts are the weakest thing about this deck.  Instead of retrofitting standard courts into something they're not, be creative and make new courts - or just leave the courts alone, but use authentic period courts of the era, circa 1870-1890.

Consider ditching the aged-look effect.  So many decks have used it in recent years.  You could simply make an elegant ivory-colored background, or go for traditional white.  Make the deck look like a deck you could have purchased from the general store in Carson City back in 1877.

Use something other than a J for the joker index.  Jacks already use that.  A common replacement is a five-pointed star in a circle.  Another you could use would be a tiny bull's-eye.  And of course, there's the traditional USPC index - a U and an S overlapping each other.
