They're usually $5 or less, but have seen them in the $8-$10 range as well.

Just like those poured by my bartender vice

Does anyone have small hands like myself and still able to manipulate? I have one Jeff McBrides Video and
1 I think my hands are too small to conceal
2 They may be too small to B$$$ palm

Well, my wife has very small hands (she's just over 5' 1") and she manipulates both poker size and bridge size cards. It's more difficult, but you can probably do it.

Practice with jumbo and giant cards and you will find that the poker and bridge size is definitely not a problem. Smile Sorry, just could not resist this one.

It is actually not in the cards but in playing with the cards. It does not matter whether it is poker or bridge size. If you play with it long enough you will be able to perform a good card manipulation routine.

There are so many kinds of techniques. Use those that are ideal for your hands. Don't kill yourself working out techniques that are not suitable for you.

There are more than one way to get things done. The techniques are only a means to an end.

LOL I have always wondered about how the "card catcher" worked. so thanks for sharing this video at least. but I would say it looks like the same as the backpalm technique unless you've improved on it like Marvey, I don't see any advantage at all to using this old version... also this would make acquittals more difficult...

The card catcher is a great training device and will train the muscles for manipulation. You can get away with a very convincing act without the frustration of dropping the card stock. I sell them for $5 as well.

I think don't use a card catcher. Try to do with backpalming. So if you train yourself in that direction you will have a better manipulation skill...
