LOL...and they have, they most certainly have....laughing all the way to the bank on the expense of those who are gullible enough to fall for the hype!

I use some of these facts in my patter and I have found that it helps. Very good to know if you a card magician.

I essentially know everything there is to know about playing cards....I have written several papers about them and I even produced some...hmm my supeior knowledge consists... but not limited to history trough press and finalization.... and some fun facts too.

Supeior = fail, it's superior. And trough should be through. Your elite grammar skills aren't so elite as you think.

Serious? Is there any way that I could get a copy of the papers you wrote on them? I would love to read them =)

Supior = fail. It's superior. FYI, your elite grammar skills = fail.

I am laughing at this one Sabor because you failed to put his correct error down =P

Actually, he edited his post before I finished mine, I went back and edited it. But Elite thinks he's the ultimate magician and nobody will ever be as good as him, so it's funny to keep catching him fail throughout the forums.

No..that would change everything

You failed to realize that typos are not necessarily grammar fails....Even so...It was not a mistake...I recognized and choose to leave it like that...I do not allow failure so make no mistake about it..

I always assumed that the Joker was based on the Fool from the Tarot, for some reason.

Your terrible sentence structure, the lack of any real concept of capitalization, punctuation, and the pathetic attempts at self-aggrandizement would be laughable if it wasn't so sad.

Besides, everyone knows my papers on cards are far superior to yours, my knowledge dwarfs yours, and the cards I produced blow yours away.

Back on topic - TheatreHead, I understand that the Joker is an adaptation of the word Juker, the German name for the game Euchre. The Jokers were used as Bowers or top trump.

The use of 'court jester' imagery dates from 1880, quite likely based on the fool from a tarot deck.

Sad day... How about some research tips for looking up morre things about cards? Books? Papers written by other people? Or are you going to make me do it myself =P
