Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

We are now releasing a public re-distributable copy of our Gaff Card Creation Guide (aka PGCGC) in PDF format. This guide is much more extensive and detailed than any of our current public projects regarding gaff card creation. There is even a chapter involving an experimental method of applying a new finish to your gaff should you use loose the old finish in the blanking process. It also includes a section at the end that we will use to append information and advancements obtained from the community. This will be an on going, updated document with more future releases to come. Please feel free to re-distribute this document as much as you like. We only ask that you credit the Phatus Magic Community if you do.
