Hey guys! So I'm looking for some history on a personal portrait effect where a spectators face appears on a playing card. So far I've found versions by Mago Anton, Paul Zenon, Cory Chapin, Noel Qualter, and Juan Mayoral. If anyone knows of any other versions please let me know!
Thanks! ~Josh

Charlie makes Yeoman Rand's face appear on playing cards if I remember correctly. That was me. And yes, I got the idea/inspiration directly from the "Charlie X" episode of STAR TREK. I actually did it two years in a row (two consecutive anniversaries). The first year, I adapted NFW, turning the cards into custom-printed ones bearing photos of my wife. The second year, I adapted Wild Card similarly, ending up with even more photo-cards. In both cases, it was CardMaker Bernd who created my custom gaff cards from photos I emailed him. Great work, highly recommended.
