Thick Card - the double-thick playing card that’s a genius locator, a peek device, a break-less control gaff, and a sleight-free forcing machine all rolled into one!
The thick card is one of those magic gems that often gets neglected (poor thing). Easy to whip up and remarkably versatile, this little marvel is your secret weapon against the tyranny of sleight of hand. Slip one into your deck and you’re ready to perform controls, forces, multiple lifts and peeks without ever having to hold a break!
This single gaff is like a Swiss Army knife for magicians—it does so much, yet it’s practically invisible in your deck. You can keep your thick card in play all day, and the audience can shuffle the deck without a care. It’s undetectable from every angle and 100% locatable with just a touch. (No more sweating over whether you cut in the right spot!)
This gaff will catapult your routines into the stratosphere—now you can execute forces, controls, peeks, and multiple lifts with the cleanest handling imaginable. Since you won’t ever need to hold a break, you can set the deck down, shuffle, cut, and mix to your heart’s content while still being in complete control of the cards!
