Trying to make my own Mish Mash Card (Harry Anderson, Wise Gug Book). Trouble is I can't seem to find simple straight on images of a deck of cards. Did Google Image search, and, as you might image, got 1 gazzillion hits. But very few modern (i.e. Bicycle or Bee) card images. And even less of just the deck laid out. The two I did find were so small that as I enlarged them on my graphics program, they lost clarity.

I could scan some cards...but was hoping somebody out there might know of a source.

Thanks.

I would just scan the cards and put them together in InDesign, Quark or some other program.
That way you'll get a high quality image.

You could also cut up a cheap set of jumbo cards. Assemble and scan the finished card

I'd just scan real cards at a high resolution and take my flash drive, with the scan on it, to a local printer to have it blown up. They could also laminate the panels for you. Any other way of doing it would be too big of a hassle.

In one of the Older issues of Genii, before Kaufman bought it, this routine was written up.
I believe there was a template for making the card.

I think that in Anderson's version, and in the effect as originally marketed, the Mish Mash card was made up of actual large cards that were cut into pieces and pasted onto the larger card. In Hank Lee's current version, though, the whole Mish Mash is just a print - which is a bit disappointing. IMHO real cut out, glued pieces would look better, and the overall effect would look less like something you just went out and purchased.

Odd, too, as the instructions specifically state "...[t]he truth is that these pieces have been precisely cut out and carefully positioned on the board." Not to mention the hinges, which are made of plastic tape, although the instructions say "[t]he Mish-Mash card effect is made from only the best materials... [including] archival quality linen tape for the hinges." Ah well, all facts are approximate, it seems. You're probably smart to make your own.
