179 Classic Magic Posters


Now this has to be one of the coolest stumbles I’ve come across in a while. Picasa member, Vlad, hath posted a plethora of classic magic posters for the online world to enjoy. A nice little trip down magic memory lane.
EDIT: Link is dead. Did anyone get a chance to copy down any posters before Vlad took them down?

35+ Years of Bicycle Card Designs


Here’s one for the card enthusiasts out there. I’m not quite sure of its purpose, but it appears that someone has created what I could only describe as an online museum of Bicycle playing card designs from 1885 to the 1920s. Each link appears to point to a different back design with many subsequent links pointing to the Ace of Spades and Joker designs for that particular deck. The image resolutions are a little sub par but I wouldn’t necessarily count them out for gaff use. Either way, a worth while stumble for any card buff.
