Now this is true 621 00:24:35,708 --> 00:24:37,478 of virtually all traditional playing cards 622 00:24:37,503 --> 00:24:39,558 produced over the last 200 years. 623 00:24:39,683 --> 00:24:42,964 Equally true is that the sword is held in the left hand. 624 00:24:43,357 --> 00:24:45,524 But look at the illustration. 625 00:24:48,276 --> 00:24:50,566 Sword is in his right hand. Yeah. I find this odd. 626 00:24:50,641 --> 00:24:52,208 I wanted to know, is this a quirk 627 00:24:52,281 --> 00:24:53,624 of a particular card, 628 00:24:53,847 --> 00:24:55,409 or was it something more?

That was another story. 633 00:25:05,823 --> 00:25:08,214 So you bought a bunch of sets that they made 634 00:25:08,251 --> 00:25:11,855 before 1963, you saw that this card was a Courtesan. 635 00:25:11,974 --> 00:25:13,508 I compared cards from that set 636 00:25:13,573 --> 00:25:15,355 to other illustrations in the book, 637 00:25:15,503 --> 00:25:17,659 and I found more design reversals. 638 00:25:17,911 --> 00:25:20,245 The Queen looking left when she should be looking right. 639 00:25:20,304 --> 00:25:23,445 The Jack holding his scepter in the wrong hand. 640 00:25:24,179 --> 00:25:26,382 Devotees of Sleights and Deception 641 00:25:26,470 --> 00:25:28,669 have always assumed that the illustrator was hired 642 00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:30,765 to draw the hands of the author 643 00:25:30,899 --> 00:25:33,767 as he performed the tricks, but if that were the case, 644 00:25:33,862 --> 00:25:36,437 why would any of the elements in the cards be reversed? 645 00:25:36,692 --> 00:25:38,325 Well, they wouldn't, unless 646 00:25:38,351 --> 00:25:41,156 the illustrator was drawing his own hands in the mirror. 647 00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:44,125 You think that he and the author were the same person. 648 00:25:44,546 --> 00:25:46,078 It feels like a breakthrough, 649 00:25:46,202 --> 00:25:49,369 but it puts us no closer to the man's name. 650 00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:54,319 What? 651 00:25:55,273 --> 00:25:56,797 It's probably nothing, but 652 00:25:56,901 --> 00:25:59,414 these lines here...
