There's the link to their site! I don't know if they are still selling them on there or not. I'm sure if you look around the web (amazon, ebay, google) you should be able to find them.

Here's a little more info on this deck.

"This deck features one of the most unique and handsome backs we have ever seen! It's got this black 'evil', but that's about it, it's not very gothic. We have heard that there were less than 2,000 of these decks produced. They were made for the A-Omoro Magic Bar and never used! Yet another great card by Bicycle."

Honestly, I think they're very plain looking.  Just custom AOS and jokers?

Seen it before.  Was tempted, but managed to pass.  Have to get choosier over what decks I buy.  And I can imagine the spectators asking me what my name is since my initial is "obviously" A....

This deck is made for a magic club called A-Omoro in Osaka, Japan.
It:s very rare and kinda expensive even here in Japan.

You can get an sealed deck on eBay for $24.50.

Here's a recent story of a Swede on a "magic bar tour" of Osaka, who was given a free deck of A-Omoro cards!  Sounds like a cool guy - a computer technician living in Japan who's a magician in his down time.
