Ideas for the use of the T11 double-backed gaff

[caruso]

Hey, i always wondered what the card can be used for, the double backed gaff card that comes in every t11 deck... all i thought of was
satisfaction guaranteed, and i think nacho mommas triumph uses it to from daniel garcia projects.

any other uses you have given this card?

Hugard arranged a book called "The Encyclopedia of Card Tricks". There is a whole chapter in there dedicated to double-back card tricks. You can get it here: http://store.doverpublications.com/by-subject-magic--legerdemain.html. It's mostly full of really old easy tricks but I've found that they are great to improve upon.

Cheers!

The trick that fooled Houdini, Classic Vernon.... (i.e. ambitious card)

I use my double backer for an "easy mode" card to wallet / pocket with the spectator picking any card. The general use of the double backer however (in my opinion) is to make the double lift appear clean. It's especially good in fooling fellow magicians into thinking that you did not DL when in reality you did.

But I still don't get it.

*must be stupid beyond all belief*

How is doing a double lift with a double backed card any different than doing one with a normal card?

EDIT: Oh!! *slaps forehead* Now I get it!

The trick that fooled Houdini all the way

It's fun to fool around with such a simple, yet deceptive trick.

it's especially deceptive to other magicians

Is it just me or is there alot of exposure going on here?...

No matter what is said, listing what a trick uses to accomplish the effect is just plain exposure.

I'm sorry, but posts need to be deleted and this thread needs to be closed.
