"I've been using this method for 30 years" -Gary Plants

Gary Plants hand-crafts INDETECTABLE card-gimmicks. He's the best. And now you can learn how he's been doing it for over 30 years.

The best part? It's easy and cheap!

There are new deck designs coming out every week now, and most don't have gaffs available, let alone included. So it's never been more valuable to learn how to craft gimmicks.

1. And whether you use a premium deck of cards and want matching gimmicks,
2. or you have ideas for gimmicks that don't exist yet, this training video is a must have.

PROFESSIONALS: If you're traveling far from a magic shop, and lose your gimmicks, as long as you can find playing cards, now you can make your own gimmicks. Gary Plants is your new travel insurance!

SO MANY card tricks can only be accomplished with gimmicks, but only the most popular get printed. Printing cards can require up to 10,000 decks at a time. So if you've got an original idea you want to save all for yourself, this doesn't work.

This is one of those life-skills you'll have with you always. It's worth its price several times over.

Very Basic Video Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 20th, 2014
Video is 40 minutes long. This goes into the VERY basics of card splitting; double backers, double facers, and split cards. He is thorough, but I was expecting more in depth explanations for more intricate gaffs. The better investment is the video by Martini, "The Art of Card Splitting"...it is very detailed and well worth the purchase.

I have been working on creating my own gaffs for some time now. I have two issues that caused me some grief doing so... #1 I can't seem to get the color red to print so that it looks right..... Unfortunately printing isn't discussed....and I would have liked some advice on that. HOWEVER, MY 2nd issue was splitting cards..... I have struggled with this for years and never could figure out what I was doing wrong..... After watching this video and following his instructions on card splitting (exactly) I can now go thru an entire deck and mess up only a few cards! I'm not sure why I always missed this one simple step.....but now the issue has been solved for me!
It was well worth the price for me! It's a good basic course on making gaffes cards.

Gary is singularly one of the finest exponents of card magic, ephemera, Erdnase and virtually all aspects of close up magic. When the e-mail showed up announcing this release I promptly bought it. I didn't hesitate one moment.

Although I've been a magic hobbyist for nearly 45 years, I've never split a single card(nor even considered it). With Gary's instructions, 3 decks of cards and a few hours I am now able to make a few basic gaffs. What a tremendous investment!

For the sake of the craft, I recommend you purchase this download. It will ensure two things: 1) You will be able to learn the basics of an art that will serve you well for a long time to come and 2)motivate you to learn more about classical uses of your creations, this will elevate the art for everyone!

Great stuff Report this review

I've enjoyed making my own gaffs. Some of my used cards needed upgrades. It took a few tries to get the card splitting down, but now I got it. Gary's "down home " style is fun to watch and easy to follow. I'm glad I made the purchase.

Great value Report this review

This is a short video crammed with useful information. I have read and seen other descriptions on this topic, but Gary Plants method is the easiest I have seen. His tip on how to initiate the peel was worth the price of the video. I succeeded the first time I tried it. Information on type of glue to use and how to line up pieces to get a flawless card is provided. The method shown for making cards with split faces can easily be adopted to other types of gaffs where parts of the face must be altered. Highly recommended!

Gary covers it all. The video is 42 min long. I enjoyed it very much.

If you want to learn to split cards, this is the best bang for your buck!

Good Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 8th, 2015
Information is just the basics. Gary Plants (from Gaff Cards) and Martini (from The Art of Card Splitting) both provide different pieces to the puzzle, and neither video is comprehensive on its own. I use a mix-and-match set of tools and techniques from both of those videos, along with a few hints from Adam Wilber's videos. The US Playing Card Co. should just sell the three card layers separately so we can mix/match/splice as needed.

I could have saved a bunch of $$ if.... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 26th, 2024
...I bought this first. While it is a basic intro to card gaffing, Gary does a fantastic job getting one into this. Word of caution: the ONLY way to get good at gaffing cards is to practice. Practice a lot. Be prepared to go through 2 decks of cards before you get good at it! Card splitting isn't easy, but well within the grasp of anyone willing to practice.

I'm not the arts and crafts type guy, so I was a little nervous about this one. However, I'm impressed how, with a little patience and some very basic skill, I will now be able to make gaffed cards of three general types: double backers, double facers, and split cards.

Double backers are pretty ubiquitious in our field in terms of Bicycle double red, double blue, and red/blue. I have plenty of all of those so I would need to make any. But if I want to make double backers out of other types of cards, I will be able to do that.

Double facers are common too, and I have a bunch, but they never seem to have the right combination I want? Now I'll be able to create my own combination.
Also, I'll now be able to make a split cards, the long way, the short way, or the diagonal way. I'm impressed with how easy is it if you follow Gary's methodical presentation. I recommend it to anyone wanting to create these types of gaffed cards!

Wow glad I found this Gaffs are hard to find. Been trying to make gaffs for years and most come out with wrinkles and look like crap. I really like Gary's way of making perfect gaffs so easy and take very little time.
