Back around 2001, when my now-defunct web site about my collection was still a going concern, I was contacted by an editor of M-U-M Magazine, a publication of S.A.M (The Society of American Magicians) and asked to write an article about collecting unusual playing cards for an upcoming issue of the magazine, which was scheduled to be about non-magical uses of playing cards.

It was fun, writing something for a readership of magicians, rather than my site's usual readership of collectors.

The article was accepted, and appeared in this issue of M-U-M:



Here is the first page of the article:



...Here is the second, including scans they asked me to provide of some cards from my collection:

It was fun, seeing my words in an actual magazine (they sent me a complimentary copy of the issue, since I was not a member of the S.A.M.)

Hope you enjoyed it!

  • I can be ironic, but I never outrage anyone.
