Hi there,
Does anyone know the exact weight of a Bicycle playing card in grams or hundreths of an ounce? I'd like to include it in my patter for a card-weighing routine. Thanks! Curt |

I just put a deck on a gram scale: 52 cards @ 83g, or about 1.6g / card.

I appreciate it. For the curious, 1.6 grams converts to 0.05648 ounces.

Is that a spot card or a face card...?

Well since he divided the total decks weight by the amount of cards, its more of an average weight of a playing card.

Of course, with a breather crimp the card would be lighter...

I'll bet dollars to donuts that you'd never be challenged by a spectator if you just made up a weight that seems resonable.
In fact, give it a pseudo name: one card weighs .052 marlos on the vernon scale. |

I measured the following:
1.632g JH 1.661g blank faced 1.645g double faced 1.625g QH S2000magician was extremely close!!! Ironic, isn't it, that the blank card weighed the most? Posted: Jan 28, 2006 12:29pm -------------------------------------------- OK, so if I dropped 1.6 grams of playing cards and 1.6 grams of rocks off a three story building at the same time, which would land first? :) Kaylan |

Will the audience really be able to dis-prove whatever you say it weighs ?
Come to think of it, can't you think of more interesting patter !

Kaylan, I say the rock first I still can't believe the blank card weighted the most! Must be slight variation of particles in between the cards. lol

Why do so many of you have gram scales??? hmmm hehehe

Jessiah, I think you meant 1000th of a gram, right?
Kaylan, the blank face card is heavier because they took a regular card and had to apply white ink to cover up the existing ink on the face of the card. In a vaccuum, the rock and card would fall at the same rate, but on Earth, the rock would fall faster because there would be much air friction affecting the card's descent. |
