Great product helped me create my own gimmicks!
This is amazing for creating your own gaffs and gimmicks. This also a great way to create special playing cards that make great reveals. This is also a nice way to test out and see if your playing card design is good.

This is an excellent how-to for printing your own cards. Here are my comments.(1) Pay attention, as the pdf says, when printing your "black border" page. The cut out it is not in the center of the page so mark which side is the "top" or the side that is closest to the printer feed as your case may be.(2) As for the sealing with an acrylic matte sealer, be aware that this will essentially rough your cards. I made up a packet trick (Max Maven's "French Active") that requires a glide. The matte spray makes that impossible. I solved it by using fanning powder. Just be aware.(3) In the past I have used acetone to remove the varnish from USPCC blank cards. That helps with the ink adhering to the cards. There are sellers who carry bottles of the actual card varnish which can then be used to reseal the cards.
it's so good idea but it is free!
With this instructions, you will be able to easily make your own gaffed cards. Besides the printing method, Alex also presents some safety concerns and other hints that might make you save time, cards and ink. So if you have any idea that requires custom cards, you should give a look on this material, since it's free, you get templates, and you will not risk getting it wrong by trying it by yourself.
This is a great download. You get some files for black borders and a picture. You also get a six page ebook with the instructions on it. If you want to print your own playing cards and want to make gaffed cards then I would recommend this download.
Saved alot of money reading this, it made it so I can have gaff cards without paying alot. If you work with cards get this as it helped me and will probably help you too. Highly recommended book, get it now!
Actually apart from needing to pay more for expensive custom card gaffs, they are hard to find! IT is not easy to find someone that offers the service. Therefore, this book is great in helping someone who wants to create their own gaffs, to perhaps try to print it themselves.
Good book that teaches and efficient method for creating your own gimmicks and your own gimmicked decks. This allows you to customize your deck to fit any effect.

Enoch asks: Do I need certain cardstock?
Justin asks: Does this work for laser and ink jet? Or just one or the other? (I know it's free so I can just get and find out, but first question I had, and thought others might too)
