theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards

Saturday Night Contest - Alternate Use!

I just remove the jokers and get to work. Mostly, Up The Ladder as you may already know. I strip the cards keep on stripping and the deck is back in new deck order. It is a false cut for those not familiar and I have 4 tutorials on the move. One which is 15 minutes long. Great move, and that is what I do with my decks.
 
I'm a teacher, so I use them in class to assign groups, to randomize calling on students, or to give us a next direction if anything comes down to a coin flip. They make good bookmarks, too!
 
I let friends and family sign/draw their favorite card in my deck. It’s like a yearbook that I can keep with me wherever I go.
 
I play guitar and its a common occurrence for guitar picks to perform a disappearing act on the regular, so I cut out the pick shape out of ad cards and sometimes jokers and stack 2 or 3 depending on which thickness i need! They dont last very long though... better than a coin.
