one of bonifacio's best known works is the pack of tarocchi cards he painted for bianca visconti sforza in the mid fifteenth century. tarot cards began to appear in the mid fifteenth century, making bembo one of the first artists to paint a deck of them. bianca sforza chose to have bembo paint the cards because he was her favorite painter. in all, bembo painted seventy-two cards of the full deck of seventy-eight. the modelling of the cherubs on the remaining six cards is different from bembo's style and they are believed to have been painted by antonio cicognara to replace cards that had been lost from the original set. of these seventy-eight, four have been lost over the course of history. the four that have been lost are the devil, the tower, the knight of coins, and the three of swords. the deck was composed of four main suits known as the swords, cups, coins, and staves. in addition the deck had a fifth mysterious suit of twenty-one trumps and a wild card known as the fool. bembo hand painted each individual card with skill, managing to incorporate the visconti motto into many cards of the four main suits. on the fifth suit he managed to add sforza devices. the deck is thought to have been painted in 1450, the year that count sforza adopted the three-ring device found on the emperor and empress cards. each card was painted and illuminated on heavy cardboard and measures 175 by 87 millimeters.

born in the suburbs of new york city, abram began practicing sleight-of-hand magic during his high school years in baldwin, long island; it was this craft that sparked his ongoing fascination with perception. in 1976, he began working as "house magician" at alice's restaurant in the berkshires of massachusetts and soon was performing at clubs throughout new england while studying at wesleyan university. after his second year of college, abram took a year off to travel as an itinerant street magician through europe and the middle east; toward the end of that journey, in london, he began exploring the application of sleight-of-hand magic to psychotherapy under the guidance of r. d. laing. after graduating summa cum laude from wesleyan in 1980, abram traveled throughout southeast asia as an itinerant magician, living and studying with traditional, indigenous magic practitioners (or medicine persons) in sri lanka, indonesia, and nepal. upon returning to north america he continued performing while devoting himself to the study of natural history and ethno-ecology, visiting and learning from native communities in the southwest desert and the pacific northwest. a much-reprinted essay written while studying biology at the yale school of forestry in 1984 — entitled "the perceptual implications of gaia" — brought abram into association with the scientists formulating the gaia hypothesis; he was soon lecturing in tandem with biologist lynn margulis and geochemist james lovelock in britain and the united states. in the late 1980s, abram turned his attention to exploring the decisive influence of language upon the human senses and upon our sensory experience of the land around us. abram received a doctorate for this work from the state university of new york at stony brook, in 1993.
