So I ordered two Porper clips from E and they arrived the were just the normal black ones. Well the one that had a sticker that said ghost card clip on it fits most of my decks. but the other one won't fit any of them. do I have to break it in or something?

Most E decks are slightly thicker, which will make it not fit in the clip.

P.S. It's a PORPER clip, not proper.

The one with the Ghost Deck sticker on it is an Ellusionist sized Porper clip.  Did you purchase two different sized clips? 


The  E Sized one was designed to fit decks like Masters, Black Tiger, Ghost, etc.  The other one was designed for standard bikes.

Ik, the normal bike won't fit in the other porper clip not the E one. My E decks fit in the E clip but the bikes won't fit in the normal clip.

did u purchase the "M" frame porper or the classic clip from DnD.

Some time ago i purchased the classic clip from DnD and had the same problem. you have to break in your clip much like a deck. start without the jokers and later after the clip is a bit looser you can put the jokers back in.
have you heard the word???

Ellusionist sells BOTH sizes, standard and for E-sized decks.  I always had a hard time getting E-sized decks into my E Porper clip.  Removing the ad cards helped, but it was still tight.  Now I just use it for a Split Spades stripper deck.  Whole thing fits.

E sell 2 kind of porper with the same design one is for normal deck that is the regular size for normal bicycle playing cards but E deck are 6% thicker i think so you have to buy the porper card clip that is specialy design for E deck which cost the same amount.. so my advice is buy larger porper card clip and for normal bicycle deck you wish to buy in the porper you just dun take out the jokers and extra cards and it should fit.. hope i help  PEACE OUT lol !!

u might have to sacrifice the box of whatever deck you have in the clip at the moment. instead of trying to pull it straight out try to just rotate out one part of the box. it might ruin the box but better a torn box than a worthless clip
have you heard the word???

ya that sucks!! well its either have a clip with a deck stuck in it, a double negative. Ruin the clip by bending it apart to get the deck out; saving the cards. Or risk slightly tearing the box.

Clips are great for protecting cards, but Porper clips are not so great for protecting deck boxes.  Even with E's steel customized deck clips, I found I had to remove ad cards to make the new White Arcanes fit - I guess Performance Coating is thicker than the old finish.

To remove the stuck deck, gently try to pull out and down from the top or up and out from the bottom.  If that fails, see if you have enough wiggle room between the deck and the spine of the clip to wedge in a precision screwdriver and use it like a pry bar to extract the box and cards.

For the future, don't use deck clips for rare and hard-to-find decks that you want to preserve.  I only use them for stuff that I have in multiples and isn't rare, like Bike Masters, plain Bikes, DBlaine magic decks, Arcanes, USPC Guardians and the like.  For your better decks, buy one of those deck boxes that flip open and have a lid.  Some of those come equipped with a belt loop or clip to attach to you without taking up pocket space.  Most old-school magic shops sell them, such as Tannen's, from which you can order online as well as buy in person at the Manhattan shop.

Good luck and may the gods of magic protect your Fuschias.

Carry around your decks everywhere like I do and you'll start seeing the damage accumulate - though it wouldn't be nearly as bad if you used no protection at all.

Anything that applies pressure to the cards will eventually take its toll on the box, which wasn't meant to be squished.
