Garfield Magic Cards #1

Garfield Magic Cards #1 (1978)

A slice of magic history with a comic twist! In 1978, the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC) released Garfield Magic Cards #1, featuring everyone’s favorite lasagna-loving feline, “The Great Garfield”. Now, for the first time in decades, these decks—brand-new old stock—are back in our collection. Though printed in China, each deck was crafted in Cincinnati by USPCC and is in pristine condition, never used.

On the back of the box: “The ‘Great Garfield’ Amazes All!”

What’s inside:

• A pocket-size deck (3.5" × 2.5") filled with 28 specially printed cards .
• Six clever yet approachable magic routines:
  • Coin through card mystery.
  • Vanishing card illusions.
  • Other mind-benders guaranteed to make your audience laugh—and scratch their heads.
• Some tricks call for a quick snip—grab your scissors!
• Magic mastery guided by consulting magician Mark Setteducati, renowned inventor and puzzle genius.
• These likely belong to the initial set of four Garfield decks released—and rumor has it they may have been sold during the Garfield magic tour.
