Just wanted to share my latest find with you all. This one has been requested for some time now and I am pleased to finally present you with a url to a spectacular set of ultragaff images. They are spectacular not only for their quality but also because the fact that they come from Ellusionist so it really doesn’t get much better than this. Read full article…
Poker information site, homepokertourney.com not only has a ton of useful poker information, but they also have a fantastic collection of Ace of Spade and Joker images from just about every card manufacture that you could possibly imagine. Once at the site, click on the individual cards to see a larger image. Who knows what other goodies lie somewhere in their site so if anyone stumbles on something useful, please let us know.

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?

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.

This one comes from one of our most recent members, cardsharp. He runs a nice little hobby blog named “Sharper Marked Cards“, totally dedicated to the art of marking cards. If you are interested in marking cards, or learning more about them, this one is for you.
