Thank you. This effect only works because the cards are folded and resist the distortion caused by the folds. ********** 1831 The earliest evidence I know of for this effect is found in the 'American Girl's Book or Occupation for Play Hours' by Eliza Leslie, which was published in Boston and New York in 1831. ********** |
