I don’t know what the ‘official’ name is for this particular gimmick, but Peter Nardi calls it Clicker card (unfortunately it doesn’t reveal any results).
It’s 2 cards glued together (only in the bottom part of the card) and the front card is bit shorter which allows us to force the card behind it. Also when the spectator goes through the deck, they won’t be able to see their card anymore. Can someone tell me the name of this gimmick and where can I buy some? Thanks |

Do you really want to purchase an overpriced gimmick you can make yourself in just a few minutes (not considering the time the glue takes to dry, of course)? Mark |

I don’t even know exactly how the cards are joined together, or whether glue is used at all (and if so, which kind). I also don’t have the tools or the know-how to make a short card, which is part of this gimmick as well. |

I'm a bit late here, but this may also be called the "nightmare card". Very easy to make Picard. X-acto knife and if you want to really make it look good, a corner rounder of with the correct radius
