I just get my friends to make them up for me at the magic circle as they make them wonderfully . I agree it's a video effect and great for your show reel more than real world performing . Very visual and great when made correctly Tarik 😊


In earlier posts (above), you wrote that it was great for close up, and "completely invisible". Change of opinion?


It is completely invisible but obviously it can't be examined so it can be used for close up but I would personally prefer to use it for a video etc as I can change a card visually with a regular card and hand it out so that's my preferred method for close up . It's certainly ok to use though close up and I can post you a video if you pm me , and I will show you my current gimmick in action regards Tarik 😊

Yes, they are all with locking.
In fact, what you get is my newest process. It's thinner and stronger. All threads are applied with Silicone oil to make it stronger.

Watched the instant download and loved it.Goes high up my list with gaff factory
and the rough and smooth project.The first card you learn is straightforward and should be within anyones grasp.Later on the more advanced ones require card splitting. That's covered too...
I think I have only a few minor criticisms. Sometimes the camera went out of focus on close up shots.The jig he makes uses a metal blade.Wouldn't it have been easier and much safer to make it out of an ice lolly /popcicle stick?
The section on spraying isn't really in the correct place and its not untill further on you fully understand why some cards need it.Most don't and the rgb I want to make doesn't.
The elastic used should have been gone, into a bit more detail.For the record most use pyrm 977770 sewing elastic thread.
I had no problems with it being subtitles they where good and mr hondo was thorough in his teaching. Highly recommended and would make hallucination deck much more of a worker.Locking cards too...so awesome.Like the look of blured too second on list .

After reading a few posts these cards are very different than the old mousetrap flap cards.There is no creases at all.If you saw a faint line down one I guess it's probably been demonstrated a fair few times and needed touching up.None of the cards mr hondo makes and shows up close once the camera goes into focus has any real tell tale giveaway

Is this a new set of instructions or is the same instructions as the original Flap-Card but this time with a specific card included in the purchase ?

Dunno but I'm interested in the colour changing box that isn't in the download.

Hi, it's pre-made flap card. The ad copy and trailer are wrong and I've messaged them to fix it.

So just wanting to make sure, is there the video included with the premade card? Or just the premade card?

Just pre-made card with instruction teaching you how to use and repair.
If you want to learn how to make, you can buy it on ellusionist.( but it's the old version. I'm shooting 2.0 for my new method to make flap cards. The new one will be thinner and stronger)

How long will the pre-made card last? I ask because I am not good at making my own gimmicks.

I think that the thread of card can work for weeks but it can be repaired when it breaks.
And the card is strong enough to use for hundreds of times. The only problem is the edges of the card will get dirty for every time use just like the normal card.

It's too bad that they don't offer flat shipping on this. Isn't it just a gimmick card, and a link to the video?

I was hoping for flat shipping as well. Sometimes they just haven't updated their system yet so it's just a matter of asking for it.
