Continuing to work through the treasures from the Swedish Magic Archives and, as promised in the post about Öberg's Playing Cards, I turned my attention to this wonderful piece, featuring another nice Öberg back. Unfortunately, the card portrays an Illusionisten (Swedish for magician) identified only as "Ace." As any magic historian can tell you, trying to search the word "ace" in a magic literature is a fool's errand. So, I turned to Christer Nilsson, curator of the collection for more information.
