Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get a list of some ideas for card gimmicks. This may sound like I'm cheating off you guys, but I just wanted to get some ideas to make some gimmicks of my own. I was thinking more along the lines of mechanical gimmicks such as flipping cards, or something of that sort, instead of different faced cards, such as pips being moved.
Another question would be, how does one go about splitting a card? I know the card consists of two paper sides and a piece of thin cardboard, but how would one go about taking a side off and maybe gluing another to it? I've done some research, but the only method I've come across is actually peeling it with your hands - I've tried it but it keeps ripping up in wrong places, ruining the rest of it.
Anyone have their own personal way of making gimmicked cards? I just want to make some of my own instead of paying for commercially available ones. Thanks in advance!
