This packet trick was originally put out by Larry West and Arthur Emerson in the 1970's.   At that time, E&W was producing so many packet tricks that it seemed like they would make a trick for any pictures they could print on a packet of playing cards.  Gourmet Mouse was a story of a mouse, his cheese and a cat, so I reserve this one strictly for kids, since I personally think that when packet tricks started putting cartoon drawings on the cards, they took a good thing a little too far.   

But for kids, this is good magic:    in a nutshell, a card with a mouse and a card with a cheese are shown. The cheese turns into cheesecake and the when the mouse is shown again, their is a fat cat licking its chops!   

 This is brand new, even though it is from original Emerson and west production back in the 1970's. Collector alert!
