hiya!

Does anyone know where I can get an all blank Svengali deck?

Ta muchly,

Pete

i cant say i do...but with a bit of DIY it shud only take you ten minutes...just measure in 1mm from the top of 26 cards and cut a straight line.

I sell Cardgali decks, which are business card sized blank Svengali cards.

If you want Bicycle, I'm not sure such a thing exists! Perhaps ask Clive at cards4magic???

Doesn't that mess up the rounded edges and make things too obvious?

I suppose there's only one way to find out...

Thanks,

Pete

Were only talking 1mm here. It MAY be noticable upon strict inspection, but if done right, you won't be able to tell unless they are back to back.

it's not too difficult to reround the corners, I do this quie often when I make my short cards. The best way to get a good round is not to try and cut them round but top make a number of straight cuts.

Clip off the corner with a 45 degree cut, that'll make 2 corners. Clip off each of these corners with straight cut, keep clipping the corners until you get a nice rounded corner.

Hope that makes sense.

lady, r.e. rounded corners. If you are only making a couple of shorts, try a nail file. it shortens at a slower rate, so easier to get a nice rounded edge the exact size and depth that you want.

Another tip - Beauty Product turned Magic Prop - Nail Clippers - Little ones can nibble away if you are like me and lose all sense of direction when holding scissors/jigsaw/file/plane/drill! (also used to make a nice clean nick in a key cad if required!)
Then just a quick blast with a nail file - not a rough (sand type) emery board though - My Girlfriend has a great one which is multi sided (Grey/Black and green) and feels quite smooth!!

i don't know about your svengali but my bicycles svengali is like that anyway. all the six of clubs have slieghtly pointier corners. i actually think that this is how they make them...because they take a regular deck and fiddle aorund with it according to my pamphlet i got with it.
