Did Piatnik the austrian manufacturer playing cards even make cards using him as the brand? Tiksustoo 10:52, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes. Piatnik's "Magic Christian"-brand of cards were sold all over Europe. Even up here in Sweden. I had a bunch of them in the mid-80's.. and probably still do, in some drawer somewhere. Good cards to work with for a beginner or an amateur magician. Him and Piatnik also produced a limited series of replicas of the famous Hofzinser cards, expensive as hell. I used to dream about owning them :-)

Christians research on Hofzinser alone makes him notable. --TStone 08:00, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
