Does anyone know if a gaff exists, the shows the front of the bicycle box on one side of a card and either a back or face on the other side? I know it's something that could be made, but I'd prefer it was actually printed up that way. I want to use it for something I saw Larry Becker do.
Thanks in advance.

It certainly does exist.
I am not home now so I cannot check, but either the 'Gaff Deck' or the 'Ultra Gaff Deck' I bought some time ago had a few of these ... And anyway, it wasn't the first time I had seen them, so I reckon it could be quite a common gaff. mlippo |

The Ellusionist Red Bicycle Gaff Deck has a couple of these. I also bought a deck of gaffs from Marty at Martinismagic.com. That deck included a couple of these as well.
You can also buy them as a single gaff at: http://www.cards4magic.co.uk/acatalog/co......ize.html Scroll down just short of halfway and you'll see ones with blank back and standard rider backs with the box front.

Thanks guys. Had a feeling there was.
I've seen two routines recently that use a gaff like that, but they were both made from the box. One was the Becker on I mentioned on an old Steven's GMVL video/DVD. The other was by Dan Harlan on his Minautar DVD. Great ideas for using it. Craig

Here's a link to the TOB Gaff vs.the standard gaff. It's worth looking at for side-by-side comparisons.

It was because of that effect that I started this thread. I also discovered another effect using the gimmick on Dan Harlan's DVD The Minotaur Final Issue.

Anyone going to the TAOM this year will receive two of these gaffs free as part of the giveaway package.
I am providing a Box/Back and the Box/Face card for each registrant of the convention. They are expecting around 600-700 magicians. |

This is a great gaff. Here's some history on the gaff according to Vanishing Inc.
Milbourne Christopher and Hen Fetsch published a trick in 1947 in "Magic At Your Fingertips" that described a predecessor to this gaff. The effect was called "Etho Vanishing Cardcase". Later, in "Unconventional Magic" by Lewis Ganson, essentially the same idea appeared in a chapter called "Ken Brooke's Presentation of the Vanishing Card Case and Cards". As stated, Larry Becker used the gaff in his effect "Intuition". Paul Harris, Don England, and many others have published tricks using this same gaff. I think Jason Dean's "Threesome" is a particularly good use of the box back gaff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLi9yg0FPRk Robert |
