History of the Famous Trick Donkeys

The Sam Loyd Company

Whenever Sam Loyd was asked what puzzle card he made most of his money from he always answered the Famous Trick Donkeys.

He claimed that if took him only 15 minutes to create and the first lot he drew and published himself for less than five dollars.

P.T. Barnum paid Sam Loyd $10,000 for the naming rights and would distribute millions promoting his traveling shows however he would become frustrated often forgetting the solution.

He would every now and then drop into Sam Loyd's office and say, "Hang it all, Sam, show me how to do my puzzle. I've forgotten again."

It ended up selling over 1000,000,000 during his lifetime and continues today as a challenging and fun puzzle. The best part is solving it yourself.

Help us celebrate 145 years since the puzzle was first published with your own commemorative edition card.
