Can some one put up a link of the original gaff pics. I have tried scanning it and it makes a gray background it waste ink printing the gray. I have see Traum's gaff pics and they don't look authentic (no offense). I appreciate it.

maybe try cutting ends off of other cards and gluing them on?

I have tried that with a cheap deck. doesn't work because one side of the cards are all thick an other flat. Im trying to get the scans and print them on paper then glue to the cards.

why is that a problem?
when you have the gimmicks together..from other angles it looks more full and more lifelike other than the printout which is fake looking

Its is not as good looking once the "deck" have vanished. You have to see it first.

ive had no problem in that field....a print out looks so fake compared to cut outs of cards...and you know you can split the card then glue the ends on

the images i made are pretty much identicle to the originals. they are designed so that they can be spread out one way to look like a spread out deck and then faned out the other way so they look like regular cards

I see. As for splitting the cards it takes so long just for one. then i still have a whole deck to get through.

I can split one normal card in 30 seconds. In this effect i need only end of the playing card. I would need 1 deck, exacto knife, rubber cement and 4 kings to make 3 panic gaffs in 2hours :)

actually if u wanna do the card splitting thing u only have to split about 15 cards cause u can cut them in half
the gimmicks dont have to b all that great tho they are never gonna b examined and only seen for a few seconds as u spread them out then u square them up again
