That is a very subtle one-way mark - not the most subtle I've seen, but it's up there.  Good find!

??  Will it be?  Bro - it is!  Most don't realize it but practically every E deck has a VERY subtle one-way mark, starting with the Black Tigers.  Read some of the earlier posts in this topic and you'll see a few examples, I'm sure.

I couldn't tell you.  I don't own any.  Perhaps if you posted a high-res photo of the card back we could check it out for you.

You don't have a camera?  Or a cellphone with a camera?  :))

I think nearly all if not all Ellusionist decks have a well-hidden one-way back.

I'm going to take a wild guess, but the subtle one way is in the way the "burn" pattern around the edge of the card?

I see it in a different spot.  Starting at the center diamond go up (or down) until you see what looks like two red horns.  The color surrounding the horns is different.  Looking at this picture, the top horns are in more of a yellowish color, while the bottom horns are in more of an orange color.

There is actually another one way back that I have found on all of my crown decks.  I'll post the picture soon.

Look at the pips that are circling the ring.  The clubs that are on the top and bottom of the card are different sizes. One of them is clearly larger than the other.

[I just noticed the picture is sideways. The. Clubs are on the left and right of the picture I posted. And :-\ the are not the suits that are in the immediate center but they are the ones inside of the rings]

Now the big question remains - are these 1st Edition or 2nd Edition?  Kevin Reylek told me that they did include a one-way mark on the 1st Edition decks that was removed for the 2nd Edition.  This could be a 1st Edition deck, or there could have been ANOTHER one-way mark that Kevin didn't tell me about which appears on the 2nd Edition Crown Decks.  In fact, that 1st Edition one-way mark is probably documented in this topic in an earlier post!

I haven't heard a thing about that one.  The Circle Back has a well-documented one-way mark, but it only became such in recent years.  Vintage Circle-Back decks past a certain year aren't one-way at all.  It's as if someone accidentally mis-copied the design when creating a printing plate and the mistake got recopied over and over as time went on.  A few custom decks made using the Circle Back design also have this "error" in them, but there's a few that don't - you have to look closely at them.
