Bit of an unusual request...

I got a Shi* card for Xmas from my better half

However I know very little if anything about them, can anyone educate me and point me in the direction of anything that may contain info

That said I havent looked through all my books, so if theres anything, please help!

All I know is that its pretty thick!

Cheers and sorry for being dumb!

Dave!

I also have a card and only use it for Kevin James Card through (into) balloon effect.

Do you have a _ _ finger ring?

Well I don't profess to know everything, but I do know that you can get those cards a LOT thinner. Unnoticeable from an ordinary playing card. If it is too thick for your eventual purpose, then please let me know via PM, and I may be able to help you.
Things to do with it? Hmmnnn. They can be used to steal cards from a deck, if you don't want to use sleight of hand, either via a tray or sealed box. I've seen various manufactured effects using them. Recently I saw a John Born lecture where he used this to produce 4, er hum, coins (with s***** ready for a matrix) from a deck. Very nice.
You could gaff a box, and add or lose a card easily, card under box (quite literally) or perhaps a prediction where you add it and thus will know exactly the bottomcard from a spectator shuffle? Maybe some sort of mental effect, they pick that card from a free choice , all the cards are placed in a bag, you are completely blindfolded and are able to pick it out, then name it.
