greydonthemagician Regular user London, Ontario 149 Posts	Posted: Dec 17, 2010 05:04 pm 0 I'm trying to collect all mem Deck history and where it began. So far I have traced the first deck back to 1593 where Horacio Galasso wrote his stack in "Most Beautiful Card Games". It was similar to the Stebbins and was wondering if anyone knew the sequence he used? I know it was re-printed in Gibecière in 2007 by Stephen Minch. Reagrds, Greydon MagicLive! 2015

Doug McKenzie Veteran user New York City 326 Posts	Posted: Dec 28, 2010 10:01 am 0 Conjuring Arts Research Center had an issue of Gibiciere with an extensive article devoted to this. I think it was written by Bossi.

greydonthemagician Regular user London, Ontario 149 Posts	Posted: Jan 18, 2011 03:23 pm 0 Check it out, its 80 bucks! I'm going to do some other researching first, but I will definitely keep that in mind. I knew Stephen Minch published it in Gibiciere but wasn't sure the cost. I have just picked up Martin Joyal's book and it has some pretty detailed history in there. I'm curious to know if any project like this has been assembled? Basically a book detailing MD history...
