A very important lesson on fanning powder anyone should see and learn from, even if you’re the biggest fanning powder hater or already a big fan of the stuff.

Some of the old-timers of cardistry would have remembered the above-posted commercial when it appeared towards the end of 2006 and that it caused some rave reactions.

For the benefits of the new guys, Cingular BlackJack was the first ever (If my memory served me right) TV commercial that incorporated card-flourishing maneuvers.

It really amazed the flourishers (yes, that’s us) that the commercial creators got inspired by past flourishing videos like Jam Time and Trenchcoat Flourishes. It is said that the animator used the 2 videos as reference for the actual modeling of the animation.

Looks like the art of cardistry is exerting some influence on the media slowly, but surely.

PS. How funny that I categorize this under “News” but this information is already 2 years old.

These pics have been uploaded to Dan and Dave’s myspace page a few hours ago.
It seems that we’ll have to wait 3 more days to see the real look of the cards although the feel has already been confirmed as Aristocrat stock.

As far as i’ve seen they don’t look THAT good to me, probably the ace of spades set the bar too high and then i got a bit disappointed with the joker and the boxes.

We’ll see…

“After watching the midnight showing of ‘Grindhouse’, I just had to create this piece of pulp advertising.”

These playing cards were supposedly printed in the 70’s for the gaming tables, but never saw any ‘real action’. They were immediately sold in the gift store thereafter. The classic Jerry’s Nugget playing cards were made from top of the line US Playing Card Company card stock, that is not available today, which makes the cards much thicker. The U.S.P.C. also used a chemical finish then, which is also not available today - due to environmental reasons.

Jerry’s Nugget playing cards were printed in Cincinnati, Ohio, and then were driven to the North Las Vegascasino via trucks where they sat in storage for many years. The highly prized playing card eventually sold out in the summer of 1999. Jerry’s Nugget Casino does not have any plans to reprint them either.

Dai Vernon, Larry Jennings, Ed Marlo, Lee Asher, Frank Simon, Chris Kenner, Earl Nelson, and many other notable magicians have been seen playing with Jerry’s Nugget playing cards. The playing cards are stiff, hold their form, and are easily manipulated. Flourishers have taken a liking to these pasteboards as well. [...]
