Somewhere I've read about a jumbo or larger court card (king or queen) with the head/face of a real person (birthday girl/boy, company president, etc.) instead of the regular card image. Does anyone have a suggestion about the best way to do this? Is there a template to create such a card?

This was marketed some time ago, I believe by Mago Anton. He may have released it through Kevin James.

Thanks, Pete!

I had no idea this type thing was ever marketed; and I'm not familiar with Anton. I'll do a little more research...

I see that Anton is still selling his effect called "Magic Multimedia" where a spectator's face appears on a selected court card. It includes a CD with a template file, but it only works for standard-sized playing cards.

Anyone else know of something like this for jumb-sized or larger cards?

TED, you could buy my vector designs of all 52 face cards of a standard deck http://www.lybrary.com/standard-american......036.html

These are vector graphics so they can be blown up as large as you want without loosing resolution. You will need a graphics program that understands vector graphics. I use the free Inkscape. Or you could use Adobe Illustrator. Either way, with a bit of cut and paste you can change these faces anyway you want.

Thanks, Chris.

I'll check into that. I do have Inkscape already.
