Matthew J Dowen has a neat little effect (No pun intended) on his party animal DVD set. A spectators selected card visualy shrinks in mid-air when thrown off the top of a regular sized deck. I can personaly verify that jaws drop for this one.

Tim

Yeah me too, very good effect, and lots of possabilities with the method.

Here's another resource:

"Hen" Fetsch put out a manuscript in the early 1940's devoted exclusively to effects with miniature playing cards.

Julie

Has anyone used decks even smaller than the miniature sizes? Don't they look even cuter? But on the other hand would it be easier to handle them?

James,

Where would you get a smaller deck? I have not been able to find any. Sounds really interesting though.

Thanks,
Tim

I've got an effect (SARDEEN Window) where you shrink the card using erdnase color change. It pretty cool and visual. I've also got one for the manipulators where you use the back palm to shrink a card... also pretty cool.
