Smoke & Mirrors: Joker Comparison

Over 100 years ago the Russell Playing Card Company (now the US Playing Card Co.) manufactured their first deck of playing cards. The below illustration of the Joker was one of their first editions to be included among the 54 cards.



Our updated version of the classic Magician in top hat symbolizes both our connection as twins and the art form we study, prestidigitation, by integrating subliminal messages through the design.

For one example place your eye on bottom of the left cane an follow it up, tracing the design fully by going down and back up to the tip of the right cane. The letter N is formed. If you stand back and look at the card as a whole you will see it reads, D N D or DAN & DAVE.
