Magic Tricks

I purchased this powder to bring back some old vintage playing cards I had in my collection. They fanned in clumps and were very difficult to deal, as they they were sticking to one another quite badly.

There are various videos you can watch on the internet showing how to use this powder. All of the ones I've viewed, however, pretty much show you how to WASTE this powder. My point is, a little goes a long way!

I laid out 10 cards at a time, face down, on a large sheet of clean cardboard and used a small wad of gauze as an applicator. I sprinkled a tiny bit of this powder onto the center of each card back and then used the gauze to carefully spread the powders across the entire surface in very light (I applied virtually no pressure) side-to-side and circular buffing motions. By the time I got to the tenth card I noticed that the gauze was holding a fair amount of powder and there were visible traces of white on the surface of the cardboard. I then slid the cards around (still face down) across this thin trace of 'leftover' powder residue on the cardboard. That was it! I did the entire deck that way, ten or so cards at a time, applying to one side only (the backs) and then sliding the cards around a bit to get the faces.

When I was finished all of the decks I treated in this fashion behaved like brand new decks of quality playing cards; they fan beautifully and do not not stick at all!

I am very pleased with this purchase!
