Variety of double backers

Postby gunnarkr » Nov 19th, '10, 01:33



Hi there!
I'm looking for 5 or 6 completely different double backers for an Alex Elmsley routine.
If double backer 1 has design A on one side and B on the other, double backer 2 must have design B on one side and C on the other side. Double backer 3 must then have design C on one side and D on the other ... and so on.
Any ideas where I can find different Poker size double backers?

Alternative approach would be to strip and make the double backers myself, but then I need a few cards with different design backs.
Any ideas for that also?

Cheers!

I'd give Christian (Card-Shark) a call. He can printed gaffed cards with lots of different backs. It's not that easy to find the specific service I'm talking about on his site any more - it's grown a lot in recent years. This link should help:

Cheers,

Thanks Ted, I think I'll do that.
I know Christian and had taken a look at his site with this in mind, but as I'm not looking for different designs of red and blue back cards, but rather all quite different, pictures, yellow, green, all kinds, I thought of asking here.
But perhaps Christian has other possibilities than displayed online.
Cheers Ted!

According to the page I've linked to, "every color is possible. Even changes or imprint of your (or your clients logo) is possible."

Christian is a good bet.

You could buy a couple of the Bicycle Rainbow Decks (so you should have two of each back), and use them for splitting. You'll have matching cardstock, and a variety of different back designs in a wide range of colours. No picture backs, as I recall, although the Gypsy Witch one isn't really like a traditional playing card.

I assume each pack has the same colours of backs (you don't get every design in every colour), but perhaps someone knows for certain.

I still offer good old handmade cards.
Maybe these are something to choose from:

Sorry - I meant to mention you too. I just could not remember the URL!
