Fig. 25 Playing Cards by Cosmo Solano and Printed at US Playing Cards

\n

Fig. 25 Playing Cards ist eine detaillierte Hommage an Erdnase und das berüchtigte Buch "Der Experte am Kartentisch". Jedes Deck enthält Illustrationen aus dem Buch, ist einzigartig verpackt wie ein kleiner Reproduktions-Band des Buches. Die Karten selbst sind elegant mit METALLISCHEN Tinten auf den Rückenseiten gestaltet.

\n

\n
• Warum heißen sie Fig. 25? S.W. Erdnase nannte die wichtigste "Kunst" bei Kartenspiel, das Bottom Deal, und verwies darauf in der Illustration M.D. Smiths, die fig. 25 ist.
\n
• Rückenseite: Die fig. 25-Illustration wird elegant in den Rücken gestaltet. Das Blütenmuster umgibt die Illustration mit Eicheln, einem Symbol aus dem Original-Buchdeck von 1902.
\n
• Kartentextur und Beendigung: Die Karten werden auf der höchsten Qualität von Bee gedruckt, wie in Casinos weltweit verwendet wird.
\n
• Traditioneller Schnitt: Der Deckenschnitt ist nach dem berühmten Verfahren von Richard Turner, das von Profis bevorzugt wird, da er für präzise Kartenführung und -schüttelung bekannt ist.
\n
• Anpassene Jokers und As Pik: Die Anpassungen des Jokers verwenden die Blütenrücken-Designs der Karte. Das As Pik ist nach dem "Pik" aus dem "Bicycle Spectrum Playing Deck" modelliert, das auch das Logo für das Spectrum Playing Cards LLC ist.
\n
• Die Gesichter: Die ursprüngliche Idee war, die verschiedenen Illustrationen von M.D. Smith durchgehend im Deck zu platzieren, bis Mark Calabrese, ein Erdnase-Fan und hochtalentierter Sprecher, eine brillante Idee hatte:
\n
• Stellen Sie sich vor, das Format einer Karte direkt aus den Seiten des Buches zu schneiden... und dann jede Seite auf JEDEN Karten zu drucken! GENIUS!
\n

\n

Das Ergebnis ist das detaillierteste und wahrhaftige HOMMAGE-DECK zu Erdnase, je konzipiert!

\n

\n
• Jede Seite wurde hochauflösend gescannt, sorgfältig für die Aesthetik platziert, eine Karte nach der anderen, und dann fein abgeschwächt und in Sepia gehalten, um den Kontrast des Bildes auszugleichen.

Originale englische Beschreibung

Fig. 25 Playing Cards is a detailed tribute to Erdnase and the infamous Expert at the Card Table book. Not only do the decks include illustrations from the book, each deck is uniquely wrapped to look like a mini replica Expert at the Card Table book.

The cards themselves are elegant, having custom back designs with METALLIC inks.

Why are they called Fig. 25?

S.W. Erdnase stated that the most important "artifice" one could master with a deck of playing cards is the bottom deal. The M.D. Smith illustration for this invaluable lesson is fig. 25.

The Back Design

Fig. 25 illustration is tastefully incorporated into the back design. The floral back design frames the illustration with acorns, a symbol from the book's original 1902 cover.

Card Stock and Finish

The cards are printed on the highest quality Bee card stock as is used by casinos around the world.

Traditional Cut

The deck is cut using the "Traditional" cut method made famous by Richard Turner. This is the method preferred by professionals for the precise handling and shuffling of the cards.

Custom Jokers and Ace of Spades

The custom Jokers use imagery from the deck's floral back design, along with two of the most popular and famous quotes from the book (one of them regarding the bottom deal's importance).

The Ace of Spades: The shape of the "Spade" is modeled after the Ace of Spades from the "Bicycle Spectrum Playing Deck," which is also the Logo for the Spectrum Playing Cards LLC.

The Ace also contains copyright information and the company name using actual typeface from the Expert at the Card Table book.

The Faces

The original intention was to place the various illustrations by The M.D. Smith throughout the deck until Mark Calabrese, an Erdnase aficionado as well as a highly skilled sleight of hand artist, had a brilliant idea:

Imagine cutting the shape of a card directly from the pages of the book... and then printing each page on EVERY card! GENIUS!

The result is the most detailed and TRUE TRIBUTE DECK to Erdnase, EVER designed!

EACH page was scanned at high resolution, carefully placed for aesthetics, one card at a time, and then meticulously lightened and colorized in a sepia tone to balance out the contrast of the image.
