1914 Adams League Playing Cards , baseball theme


This is a deck of playing cards but it was designed to allow people to perform magic tricks.

The set looks like a standard playing card deck design on one side with cards numbered 2 through Ace in each of the four suits, clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades.

While all of the playing cards feature standard clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades, one of the cards is a special baseball edition.
The Ace of spades card features a baseball on it, making that one a little more desirable.
Others are merely standard playing cards with no baseballs.

A series of baseballs are shown on the backsides, as well as two pitchers and a pair of baseball bats.


The cards have slight variances on the backs so that the person performing the tricks can identify the cards.
The instructions that were distributed with the decks state that, ‘You can read them from the back as well as the front.’


The key to being able to perform the tricks is found by careful study of the backs.

The overall formula was pretty easy to figure out. In two of the corners (one at the top and one at the bottom so that they could be viewed no matter which way the card was held), a simple baseball design was printed.
While barely noticeable, two of the baseballs in a given pattern would be larger than the others.

Using the placement of the larger baseballs and based on a pattern provided in the instructions, it could then be determined which card was held.

Once a person memorized the pattern, he/she could perform any number of tricks.
The instructions provided with the game showed several examples of tricks that could be performed.

The instructions are not included with this listing.
