Don,
Many of our members are fairly new to the concept of making card gimmicks by hand. With your experience in such matters, perhaps you could give out a few pointers or at the very least recommend a few texts which may shed light on an otherwise darkened pathway?

If you can make a gaff then you have the ability to think about an effect differently. You can put that thinking into action. There are many gaffs and methods, and not a lot of material out there, because it is such a limited area. Check out the GAFFED TO THE HILT DVD, or ask me a specific question and I will give you as much information as I can.

I started making gaffs for a while. I wanted to add that skill to my abilities. Why? Because of what Don said, I wantd to expand the limited area and make it original. I can openly say I make gaffs and stuff,although I don't sell them. That is the difference between an expert and a guy like me who makes the gaffs just to pull off an idea that is otherwise impossible or not as clean with regular cards.
I think we have talked about this before over the phone, but how did you get into making gaffs Don? Also, would you recommend that every card magician should learn how to make gaffs to be able to have that extra skill as a tool of creation? Anyway....thanks for your compliments the other day. (was it a compliment? I never know for sure when I get one) Irv |

Yes. Bro. John cut and pasted in that sense. I can't remember
how I got into making stuff, probably same as you, but people asked me to make things for them. |
