Looking for card prop

Postby magicmindben » Aug 22nd, '08, 19:41



I have seen deck shells of a case, but I've recently been looking for deck shells that appear just like a deck. It's complicated to explain how I want to use it, and i'd rather not. Anyone know where I can get one of these.

Thanks,

-Ben

If you're looking for a hollow deck (not a shell as such), there's one here:

Thanks for the idea rob, but I'm afraiod it was not available anymore at your link.
I searched several shops for a hollow deck, and was unable to find one. If anyone has more help I would be thankful.

Thanks for giving me that name though; a hollow deck. I'll look some more.

thanks,

Ben

I found it on another page on that site you reffered me to Rob.

Thank you so much!

In all fairness, mate, how much work could it possibly take to make your own?

I suspect it'd be no more than 40 minutes with an exacto-knife and a tube of glue! :wink:

The Card Collection (Cards 4 Magic) sells a hollow half-deck, if that's any help. Only £5, which has got to beat DIY.

A bit more than halfway down this page, under the catchy title of "Bicycle 1/2 deck middle cut out edges glued together":
