    My art teacher gave me the professional advice on rubber cement... dilute it 50/50 with acetone... blend thoroughly. YOU will be amazed at the difference!
    You are a genuine tutor. Thanks.

    My friend, I'm not a magician but *LOVE* viewing magic videos/TV shows, etc, and I've gotta tell ya', this video and your other videos are *EXTREMELY* thorough, *WELL DONE* and offer some of *THE* best entertainment & tutorials available!
    *EDIT* I know you use the specific glue, but you didn't mention if a *DIFFERENT* glue would actually be a "fail", or what problems there would be with using a simple Elmer's Glue, etc.

  • @samuelhodges3119
    @samuelhodges3119 Год назад

    I like your teaching. The first time that i seen you was your version of "Oil and Water."
    I get great reactions from it.
    What i decided to do was mix it with two other "Oil and Water" effects.
    The three when put together creaters a routine where each phase makes it seems more impossible and as fair as can be...
    ...or somethings I just do your routine.
    Really, each of the "Oil and Water" routines are strong on their own.
    Thanks for sharing, Tom Matrix.

    Dude!
    I am really enjoying your videos.
    Thank you.
    I read a book from the thirties or forties. And I'm sure its method to make gaff cards involved soak the card in water first before separating the layers.
    This looks a lot easier.
    Thank you for being so amazing at explaining every you teach.

    Brilliant video Tom, I have been trying to make my own cards but had a few problems with tearing, now I know how to do it right. I also think that the trick at the end is awesome, I often wondered why anyone would cut the cards diagonally, I am sorted out on this one too. Thank You Very Much.

    Few notes. First do you still gaff cards the same way or any new techniques
    Second are you sure rubber cement is the best option? Have you tried pink stick glue by Elmers
    Third this seems like a good technique but way way too time consuming for the price of the gaff.
    If the cards are not examinable why not glue 2 cards together? I discovered a great glue by beacon for laminate cards that don’t require sanding. For the time and effort saved I personally think it make sense unless you need a full deck of gaffed then I would recommend splitting. But man I can’t justify the time especially if you need hundreds of these cards.
    Finally I won’t worry about alignment since I shave the cards with a paper cutter and round the corners. Cleans up the corners and glue

    Hello Tom. This was an excellent video, and I've successfully made lots of double-faced cards since watching it. I have a question though... have you ever made a mis-indexed Ace? I'm attempting to make cards for a Final Aces routine, but struggling with the method to put a 2C index at one end of an AC. At the moment I'm cutting out the 2C index, and a space for it on the AC card, and sticking it on with Elmers... but it's difficult to disguise the obvious split lines and discolouration. Any tips?

      dagdogg I’d say probably about 5x5 it doesn’t have to be big just big enough to cover the card

    Tip:you can use old cards that has soft corners
    How to make old cards:dont put your choosen card/cards in the box instead put it outside and you can play with them
    But you cannot do this when playing with the card/cards:tapping the corners of the card/cards on a hard surface
    But pls when peelling the back/front pls dont do it fast or your card/cards will not be perfect
