Slightly erotic with one of the ladies represented honking one of her breasts!

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / Re: Bicycle Weapons - gaffed playing cards

True, Don. While I have seen effects pulled by a creator for ethical reasons from time to time, it doesn't happen often.

Don, the conversation I read focused around ethical issues involved with taking the work (unique gaffs) of another creator(s) and adding it/them to a project without permission.
Some of the creators were involved in the conversation, as well as Eric. The conversation was eventually deleted, and I've seen nothing more. It doesn't appear that the deck has been pulled, so I suppose everything was worked out.
I ordered the deck, and then that very evening saw the conversation going on. I actually wondered if my order would be cancelled! The deck is ok. I prefer it to some others in that it doesn't have so many of the wildly (not the best term, but...) printed cards. There are a few - among others, there are unfocused pips, cards with a coin printed on it, and of all things, a king and a queen with scrunched faces reacting to a cloud of fart gas - no kidding! I remember one of the Ellusionist gaff decks had so many of the non-standard gaffs, I didn't care for it. This one has a better balance. Also, many of the gaffs in this deck are repeated - you get them in both blue- and in red-backed cards. So that lessens the variety one might have had the deck been available in both a red-backed and blue-backed version, but it offers some flexibility in return, in that you'll be able to use both red and blue-backed decks.

I just received this yesterday. The tuck box has sticker on it with the web address (Murphy's Magic) and password for the video tutorial, which can also be downloaded.
There is, apparently, some question as to whether Eric Ross had permission to use some of the gaffs that he did. He admitted to some misunderstandings, but seemed to think all should be ok. Haven't heard anything else since this issue flared up a few days ago, so maybe all is well.
