This is still possible.

Those backticks make the shell interpret what's inside them as a command and 
returns the result to the find commandline.  So I guess if it is working it 
is expanding the * thereby and returning the individual filenames.  Will this 
still work if the cwd is not /in/this/dir?  I think not.

Everyone is telling you to use -find... give it a try :-)  Also you can use 
backslashes to escape difficult characters you know, like \(stuff\)
