Thick Carda double thick playing card used as a locator card, a peek device, an automatic double lift facilitator, a break-less control gaff and a sleight free forcing machine!

The thick card is one of the most overlooked and underused gaffs in magic. Simple and inexpensive to make, yet massively versatile, this innocuous creation is a powerful replacement for sleight of hand. With one dropped into your working deck you will be armed and ready to perform controls, forces, multiple lifts and peeks all without EVER HOLDING A BREAK!

The Thick Card is like the swizz army knife of gaffs – it can do so much, yet is all but invisible in the deck. You can have your thick card in play all day long. The deck can be handled by the spectator. It’s undetectable from every angle, and it’s 100% locatable with touch alone. (No more panicked triple checking that you cut at the right place!).

This single gaff card will elevate your routines to a stratospheric level – now you can perform forces, controls, peeks and multiple lifts with the cleanest possible handling. As you never need to hold a break, you are free to put the deck down. You can shuffle, cut and mix the deck AND STILL BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CARDS!

On ‘The Thick Card Project’ your host, Liam Montier, will teach you how to use this most venerable of gaffs . Learn over 90 mins of techniques, tips and ingenious applications. Then delve into the collection of ten incredible routines.

Already…

…using this in a handful of routines. The thick card helps with the hardest sleights and is the perfect practice tool.

Thick Card Project is great

I have lots of Liam Montier downloads so thought I might not need The Thick Card Project .I am so glad I bought it. I found it to be one of the easiest moves to learn as Liam is such a good teacher. Worth every penny.

The Thick Card Project

Excellent presentation. I will now always have a thick card in my pocket. When I was younger, I would visit my uncle magic name was Rovi. (Ivor Parry). If he is the same one as Liam is referring to I know now how he fooled me. Wort every penny.
