I think Josh and Jamy both have some valid points on this issue, but they both seem a bit unyielding in their opinions. IMO, there is a middleground here. (using unrecognizable props only with justification and only when necessary).

For all you DIYers out there, take two Sucrets lids and a bulldog clip and VOILA' your own homemade (read:inexpensive) Porper Card Clip. AND I've almost never had anyone say anything about it. PLUS, you get the added bonus of Sucrets written on the lid. (Get it... Sucrets=Secrets!)

I always say, if life gives you climonds, make climonade.
Whenever I find myself gripping anything too tightly I just ask myself "How would Guy Hollingworth hold this?"

As a magician, feeling induction is one of the most wanted techniques. Feeling induction is all about incorporating emotions into your system.

The funniest part of this discussion is the fact that some of the people that use card clips equate using a card clip with corporate gigs and nice suits and if you DON'T use one, you wear overalls, smoke corncob pipes and have 10 year old cards with clowns on them. Probably one of the most ridiculous arguments I've ever read.
As for using a card clip, I think it's rather unnecessary but if some people feel it keeps their cards flat and they're happy with it, good for them. |

Fact is: lay audiences immediately understand what a card clip is for, even if Jamy Swiss struggles with the idea. Now: I'm talking about a plain unadorned black card clip. If Swiss is talking about ones with lime polka dots, lavender stars and rose-hued sequins, then I COMPLETELY agree with him.

The only thing worse than a card clip is a close-up mat. NO ONE should ever be seen using a close-up mat when performing for laymen.
No card clips, no mats, no fancy card cases, nothing. Just a deck of cards when you work for laymen. |
