Title: My introduction: I'm Amused By Jokers
Post by: JohnEdelson on December 10, 2023, 01:16:16 PM
Hi, In high school, I was a working magician doing mostly kids parties but also some closeup. One store-bought trick ended with four cards being turned into jokers. I liked the trick but thought the jokers were visually underwhelming so I looked around for better ones. Soon I had half a dozen in a rubber band, then dozens, then a few in the album. In the last few years, I've returned to my collection which is now big (maybe 10,000 different ones) and am now focusing on old American jokers.  I also am collecting Congress decks (and jokers) from the matching era.
