Title: "costum made" double face?
Post by: PlayingCards654 on September 16, 2016, 06:18:09 AM
hi.
i want to get 2 double face cards, both with queen of hearts and four of spades.
in penguinmagic 1 card cost 1$ which is a great price, but the cards are random and can't ask for specifec one..
on other sites i found bicycle double face deck which is 56 double face cards.. but in all of them the 4 go with 9 and not with queen.. and you get only 1 of them. (i wont buy 2 decks..)

long story short - i need a place where i can order just 2 singel cards with queen of hearts on one side and four of spade in the other.
thanks.

There's nothing stopping you from making them yourself.

Back when he was still working with the Blue Crown, Kevin Reylek produced a DVD called "Cannibal," a very clever variation on the "Cannibal Kings" routine.  In the video, he teaches about dry card splitting - separating the face and back of a card in such a way that they can be re-glued as close to seamlessly as possible.  With that video and a pair of forcing decks, one for the Four of Spades and one for the Queen of Hearts (and you can specify which card you get a forcing deck for in some magic shops), you can create an entire deck of nothing but double-faced 4S/QH cards.  (Plus you can make a mess of double backers with the leftovers!  Not to mention that you can learn "Cannibal," a pretty cool trick in itself!)  The video will also recommend what adhesives work best when re-gluing cards back together.  It will require practice to do it well, but after a while, you'll be able to achieve expert results - I suggest getting a plain old pack or two of Bicycle Standards to practice with until you get the hang of it.

It's $19.95 for the DVD or $17.95 as a digital download.
It's also available in magic shops that carry Blue Crown merchandise.

I actually do know a bit about "cannivalize" cards.. i learned it in the DVD VDP by John Van De Put. But i don't really want to do it.. i'm not the "craft man" and i prefer buying a good 2 cards for 5$.. even more.. But thanks for the tip.. if i still wont find anyone who sells them mabye i'll have no choice but to make my own.

In that case, go to Kevin yourself at http://cardgaffs.com (http://cardgaffs.com).  He makes gaff cards to order - but it will cost you far more than making your own, so be prepared to pay.
