Sticking Flash Cards To Playing Cards

Postby Freestyler » Feb 27th, '13, 15:28



Hello all!

I could do with some advice/help.

What is the best thing to use to stick flash cards onto a normal playing card? can this be done and would it still work?

When doing the trick burning one card into another, i often struggle to DL the playing card and flash paper as the flash paper bends or creases and it is noticed and the whole effect is ruined.

I'm hoping if there is anything i could use to stick it on the card so this wouldn't happen, also whether the fact it will still burn out aswell depending on what i use to stick it with.

any help would be much appreciated!

thanks :)

Or.... rough them? :D

Would rough work with the material of the flash card? it's a good shout though.

What's the best adhesive?

thanks :)

Very small blobs of magician's wax on the corners of the real card?

Not quite sure. It's just my standard magic answer :wink:
Could be worth a shot, depends on the material/quality of the flash card I guess

It's difficult to make look good I think. Also when I lit it it practically burnt the face off the card underneath!

"Is this your card?"

"Erm.....maybe"
