A little off topic, but here's a link that I think should be watched http://youtu.be/oQ6uhCIaKQA a deep insight into the secrets of the playing card

Great documentary! The first two guys you see speaking are Yasha Beresiner and Gejus van Diggele. Both are members of the 52+ Joker, as well as the IPCS.

In 2009, I was fortunate enough to see Gejus speak about secondary use playing cards, and sit next to him at the banquet the following year in New Orleans. He's a fan of sleight of hand, and an all-around nice guy. The same goes for Yasha.

As members of the 52, they will be notified about Tom purchasing the Discourse. Maybe if we're lucky, they might come play with us!

My apologies for not making everything clear. We would love to have you as a UK member. As Tom said, 20% of the 52+ membership is not located in America. Hell, Tom and I are both in Canada!

I simply wanted to show you the UK options, that's all.

Again, sorry for the confusion.

Again, thank you guys for making us feel so welcome. It means a lot.

Question for you Tom (and lee) ever considered a 52 plus joker for the Uk? :)

Great question. While the 52+ Joker is the American club, you can join the English Playing Card Society as well as the International Playing Card Society. Both are based in the UK.  Pretty much all the playing card orgs. are friendly, and work together on events & projects.

Now that you have me thinking out loud... Maybe I can woo Christian de Ryck and/or John Sings (exec. board members of the IPCS) to come over here and talk with everyone about the UK orgs.? I'm putting it on my to-do list.

Thanks again for asking your question. Hope that helps!

Hi Ivan,

I PM'd you a few min. ago.

I love the idea of tracking stats. Your KickStarter info is uber-helpful for artists, but also anyone else interested in doing research on playing cards!

On a side note, I saw a similar piece of juicy info (increase over time in Kickstater card projects) when Paul Carpenter spoke at the 52+ Joker convention this past October.

In all, it's great information. Thanks for your help to make it available.

Welcome to The Discourse.

ABSOLUTELY GREAT NEWS! Also having Lee Asher hear too is equally awesome. Can't wait to see what the future has. AWESOME!

You make me blush! Thanks Mr. Robinson.

Let the fun begin!

Fantastic! You've given me the exact name to an old Bee design I have been researching. I have been asking around for the name, but it's now staring me in the face -- thanks to you.

On a side note, 52 Plus Joker secretary Steve Bowling owns a few of these amazing fold-out sample pamphlets. He had them on display at his booth at this past 52+ convention.

Once again, thank you for sharing! #MysterySolved

Asher

ps. enjoy your treasure!
