Pardon my ignorance, I'm really new at the whole packet trick gig, and while I couldn't find a similar topic in the Deckless section, it's possible there is one and I just missed it, and if that's the case I apologize.
I'm designing a packet trick in which I'm going to have to conceal extra cards (eg: displaying 6 as 4, 7 as 5, etc.). I haven't settled on an exact number yet, but I was wondering if there was some sort of guideline for determining how many cards thick your packet can be without looking "too" thick, if that makes sense. Any thoughts? |

No, there are no guidelines. It depends upon the performer's ability to "mask" the thickness through movement and subterfuge. It is of my honest opinion that many who buy packet tricks (mostly beginners and not sleight knowledgeable) on the market want simplified handlings and are turned off by learning complicated sleights.
