SBS is the double face (same both sides). I have never found a use for this in all my magic career but while grabbing an ebook on roughing cards, I needed another small purchase to take advantage of the buy one get one 50% off and found this hidden gem

http://www.trickshop.com/same-both-sides-book.html

Well worth the (under $5 without the discount) but you too should find a couple nice books on this site.

On the page about the book sbs they have a limited time offer:

LIMITED TIME BONUS DOWNLOAD Plus, for a limited time, we'll also include our newly expanded "Tricks with Double Back Cards" with 13 more effects! These include: Dai Vernon's Chameleon Backs, Annemann's Insto-Transpo, Easy Card Location, Henry Christ's Perfect Force, U.F. Grant's Giant Acrobatic Cards, William Larsen's Reverse Location, and more, including a very deceptive coin switch that's also easy to do! 10 pages. Download Only (both manuscripts) Price: $4.95 USD

I bought the download but only got the sbs booklet. Is the timelimited offer expired? In that case, shouldn't they remove the ad copy?

Anyone else bought this book the last few Days and recieved the bonus booklet?.

Here's my short story: many many years ago (middle Eighties) I bought a pack of DF cards (bridge size that matched Aviator cards) and one of them was a DF Queen of Clubs/Queen of Clubs.

Started toying with it and came up with the simplest effect possible using it (not too hard to figure out what the effect was, eh?). From there, in order to end 'clean', I added something else and then something else and then... I endeded up having a full 8.5 minutes routine which had me winning first prize in the Card Magic category at a Club Magico Italiano convention in Bologna (Italy), in February 1987!

All started from a DF card!

I also had quick response from trickshop.com and they showed appreciation for doing business with them by adding a little something extra. Don't expect that all the time but...it was nice of them. SBS was my reason for the order too.
I am having trouble locating a shop for reordering full decks of SBS cards. Any leads for this?

They mostly come as part of a full double face deck or as a random gaff in a gaff deck. You can get any card custom made through various sources here on the Café.
