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.

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.
