The Universal Utility Clip is good, but there are obviously more ways to skin the cat. Walk around Wal Mart, Office Depot, hardware stores, etc. and use your imagination. If you know what you want it to do, think about how it might be done, and then look for something that does that. Look for things that are made to hold other things. If you don't find exactly what you need, then think about how you might make one.
But since you are wanting resources, check Abbott's. Tip: Their old catalogs had more than the online site shows.

Does anybody know where you can get a card holder used by Lee Ang Hsuan in his Evolution of card manipulation?

Simple clips, and there are many, have to pass some criteria. They can't mar the item, they must survive impact, and then there is the jump test. Of course, if its used by the stars of magic, then that is good too.

I don't have the Lee Ang Hsuan DVD so I of course do not know what he is recommending.

Tim Sonefelt has a great book on all kinds of holders call Hold It. He takes very simple everyday items and shows you how to make all kinds of holders; i.e. card, cane, candles, silks, etc. Cost is around $12.00 USD.
Here is the link for the book; http://www.timsonefelt.com/sonefelt_prod......d_holdit |

That reference looks just like an Excelsior Paper Clip referenced in the other thread. Don't they have these paper clips in Asia?
Seems like a lot of extra work to make one from scratch. Yes, they must have them in Asia, as on EBay they are trying to sell an Excelsior Paper Clip as a ball and egg holder. Jerry Andrus in his booklet Miser's Miracle describes how to make the Excelsior Paper Clip better for holding cards and coins. |
