Dear 'teachmehowtousemygaff'

Tear each card in half. Sign alternate halves. Write a number on the face of each card. Put these back in the box. Shake 3 times ..... then tip out slowly. You'll be amazed at the result.

Even better, failing that, learn some basic skills, invest in a good book (Mark Wilson, Royal Road) and practise.

I don't like these sorts of cards, they just say to the specs 'look I'm using trick cards'. The specs might not know how you did what you did but it's obvious to them that the cards are fakes. You'd do better to read a book like Royal Road and learn some basic card magic first. Once you've done that you might find some uses for these cards.
