Plate I
Card Tricks
Forty-one effects on paper stock, from a deck you can hand out to a casket that does the work for you.
The stock
A deck is a tool,
A deck is a tool,
not a souvenir.
We cut our board at 310 microns, emboss an air-cushion finish, and break every deck in by hand before it goes in the case. A deck that fans badly in the shop will fan worse in a cold room, and cold rooms are where you will be working.
The oxblood back is ours. It was drawn in 1908 for a house that no longer exists and we have never seen a reason to redraw it.
Fig. 1Seven cards from a No. 1108, spread one-handed.
