Business Cards

Postby lukeclough » Nov 12th, '10, 15:25



Hi guys, I'm about to get my first set of business cards done, and want to make sure they're right. For those of you who are working magicians, did you create your own or get someone else to do them? I kind of need to get mine done asap due to an opportunity presenting itself sooner than I thought, and want to make sure they're right!

Any tips, pointers or recommendations would be great!

you're a star :)

I've kinda found the answer I was looking for I think.....

It wasn't so much where to get them done, as theres a million different printing companies, but more a question of did people design them themselves or get someone else to do them for them. I'm leaving the backs blank to incorporate into mindreading and various other tricks as give-aways.

Thanks again for the point in the direction

I'm ordering some cards (for my real job) very shortly, but, I'm also considering getting some magic cards.

I've got a couple of ideas for a reveal and out-to-lunch style effect and of course leaving some space blank for writing predictions etc.

Does anyone have any ideas for building things into cards that can be used in routines?

Hello Ace,

Lee Smith has a great routine on his "Step System" dvd
I think it's called Business Lunch, or Out To Lunch.

I get great reactions to it all the time.

Chris, almost all of my close -up routine is business card based (with the exception of a card opener).
