"I must say that I was prepared to dislike this book ... Wilker's discussion, however, is so pleasant and unassuming that one can hardly disagree with him.

It is now no surprise to me that she can amazingly bring those same gifts to the pages of this work that you now hold." - Alain...

Warum immer nur Spielkarten?

Die Anzahl Kartenkunststücke scheint unbegrenzt zu sein, wenn auch sehr viele nur Variationen bestimmter Themen sind. Aber auch die Anzahl solcher Themen ist sehr, sehr groß. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob man gewisse dieser Themen nicht auf andere Objekte als Spielkarten übertragen kann, erstens um die Themen besser auszuschöpfen und zweitens um dadurch neue Ideen zu verwirklichen.
