So it can be your own thing, nothing specific has to be on the design?

It should be the Ace of Spades, which is the norm for any deck :)

@Tricks, thanks so much, that worked for me now-- I had repeatedly tried uploading it straight to my browser's PDF viewer and only got a blank page... as a street magician and graphic artist, I've always wanted to try my hand at designing a deck, this should be fun!!
