Actually, I am looking for someone who can create shimmed cards for me using specific (mostly older or antique) playing cards. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

There are two sources that I know of. One is Gary Plants and the other is Neil Lester of Cards by Martin. I am away from my my magic resource list. E-mail me at
profesor@earthlink.net and I will send you their particulars. -Marty |

Right, I'm going to expose myself as a complete magical idiot here, but what are shimmed cards? Are they metal cards?
Thanks for your help! |

Well, it probably wouldn't be right to discuss the detailed nature of shimmed cards in this section, but let's just say that when you clothespin them to the fork of your bicycle, the spokes make a REALLY loud
"engine" noise. Regards, Thomas Wayne

Thanks! |
