As far as I know, they don't sell them. I just make mine.
Like mentioned above, I print out the picture of the Hershey Kiss (on a semi-thick glossy paper, so it somewhat resembles a playing card finish) and glue it on the card (note that I use rubber cement, just because it tends to work out better for me--and I just love the stuff).
Also note that you can use other stuff besides a Hershey Kiss. It's such a simple concept, but it's so strong, and it's adaptable to other things (although you'd have to come up with other patter...no more sealing it with a kiss, heh). Try and come up with some other things to make appear and "pop off" of a card; it's fun and rewarding.

I made mine too, design the picture on your PC/Mac, print it on a piece of paper (draft) just to see if the size is right and remember the orientation of the paper into the printer, tape a blank playing card on top of the card printed before, put the paper into the printer again.

That's because usually you're printing on a white surface. Anyway, I'm not sure of any way to print white ink (besides buying a white marker/pen and trying to draw whatever it is you're trying to print). That brings up my next question--what are you trying to print, and what are you trying to print on? If you're printing on white paper, you shouldn't have any problems (and if you're trying to print on a card--well, good luck, because all the white ink in the world won't help ya, heh).I did the exact same thing before I came here. Only thing, the printer doesnt print white ink, so I'm not satisified with the result. Do you know any way/place to print with white ink?

There was a post above mine that said he printed the hershey's kiss chocolate picture on a playing card. On reading it again I realize he might have meant he printed it on a blank card, which kinda defeats the purpose of this question anyways (need a double backer with one side printed, not a blank card).
But...
Since you're still hangin around, how satisfied are you with your method of printing the hershey's kiss on glossy paper, then gluing it onto a card? Im afraid that in the process of cutting, the end product will result in something that looks "cheap" and homemade. Can you tell the picture is glued on? how much thicker is the glued part of the card? Basically, will the pic look "printed" on the card to specs, or will it look like a picture glued to a card?
thanks again, apologies for the number of questions/length of post
I meant they can't with the gaff that I make...of course they can with the real gaff.and yes... they CAN touch the card
Why would you pay 20 bucks for something that costs less than a dollar and maybe 5 min. to make?
Because without the person creating/releasing the effect, you wouldn't know about it in the first place--you're paying them for doing all the work FOR you. If you don't want to buy tricks, put in the effort to come up with your own. You should only be making the gaff if you don't want to re-buy the trick just to get another gaff card.Why would you pay 20 bucks for something that costs less than a dollar and maybe 5 min. to make?

By "all the work" I mean all of the thought behind the idea for the trick. Go ahead and ask anyone who actually releases effects...ask them if it takes a lot of work to come up with tricks or of it's a breeze. Like I said before, if Borgia (yes, the original creator, if I recall correctly) didn't come up with the effect, you wouldn't even have an effect to steal. A LOT of effects are pretty obvious in their mechanics, but that doesn't mean you have the right to perform them without paying respect to the creator.Yeah I don't buy that. First of all is this Bob Borgia the original creator of the effect? Second, I learned the trick from watching Cyril do it. Third, by "ALL the work" you make it sound like there's a LOT that goes into the trick. Sleigh of hand is almost non existent and the crux of the trick is just a gaff card. So no, I don't think it's worth $20.
