Tim has many, many sets of playing cards in his toy collection, and here he shows just some of the extraordinary decks he has acquired over the years.
Playing cards come in many sizes and shapes, and the first cards we see are much smaller than normal playing cards, followed by a deck that is so large that you need two hands to hold them!
Tim then shows cards from a ’crooked deck’ where each card has been cut with sides that are crooked. Perfect for a crooked dealer, maybe! Then another set of cards has a slight curve at each end of the card. When you look at the back of the card, it is the shape of a beer can - these were a promotional item for a brewery!
Triangular cards, square cards and circular cards all follow in quick succession, and then a Japanese deck where the cards are the shapes of tenpin bowling pins. Very bizarre!
Tim then shows some artistic and pic
