While sifting through google’s image search, I came across this very interesting jpg image of 54 custom designed playing cards from typeface creation site P22.com. I only wish the cards were in a slightly larger resolution but nonetheless, some very classy designs.

Fontriver.com has a fairly decent playing card font for free download at their site. Nothing fancy but could prove useful for mini decks or possibly even some clever gaff creations. I especially like the fact that it includes dice as well.

Looks like I missed this the first time around on our previous “Stick-a-Pip” post. It appears that there is a pretty cool accompanying demo video on youtube to help fancy it. Assuming that these are undetectable, this stick-a-pip system may be a viable solution to simple gaff card creation. Watch the video below or visit the homepage.
Its great to see more and more gaff card creation guides showing up all over the net. Mrfuzz @ Instructables has posted his “Ultimate Guide to Making Gaff Cards“. Nothing that has not already been covered in the “Phatus Guide to Creating Gaff Cards” but nonetheless this proves that more and more people are making their own gaff cards using similar techniques.

Sandrostiger @ Metacafe has a very cool magic trick for a great card reveal. The best part of his tutorial is that he shows you how to make a magnetic card thus opening up a huge door of possibilities for card tricks. In his tutorial he uses two cards to make the gimmick however I imagine one could even just peel a card to construct an even more convincing and inspectable gimmick. Visit the Gaff Card Resources Page for a link to peeling cards. Check out the video below.
