Making a 'gimmick deck' from a regular deck

Postby Jayrd1290 » Aug 26th, '14, 12:49



I am creating gimmick cards out of a regular deck for table hopping tricks to do (eg. splitting two cards and making a DF card).
I've used 5 cards so far:
- ACE - Richard Sanders (2 cards)
- True Love - Oz Pearlman (2 cards)
- Stuck Up Monte - Mark Mason (1 card)

Any ideas for tricks that I can make extra gimmicks for out of a regular deck? Any advice is much appreciated.

Most tricks that use a gimmick card already comes with gimmicked cards so not sure what your end game is. If you are looking to make gimmicked cards you can make double face, double back, mis index cards, cards with flaps, mismade cards. The list is limited by ability and imagination, (and equipment if you don't have a printing press of some sort).
