Masquerade (Gimmick and Online Instructions) - Trick

Smith No. 3 by The Expert Playing Card Co. is the latest and final installment of the Erdnase 1902 series. This deck features a repetitive pattern by Guy Hollingworth depicting illustrations from The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase.

The signature, of M.D. Smith, was carefully recreated from an old signed copy found in the Conjuring Arts Research Center's private collection. The Ace of Spades has a rendering of Mr. Smith's face and the tuck has a die cut hole so you can see Mr. Smith while the deck is closed.
