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.
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.
great method for disassembling the cards... after lot of searching i've found yours tutorial and it saved my day. in Czech i had to use different glue - and found out that paper stick glue works great too...
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.
You have out done yourself sir. So much content and has to be the best tutorial I have seen for making gaff cards. I have never conditioned my cards and they have never come off perfect. Time to split open a new deck 😉
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.
Great DIY TUTORIAL! PURCHASED a dvd years ago on how to gaff cards...this is better...better tips. Better all around. Thanks for this tutorial, appreciate it.
Couldn't find a video that showed how to do a two-backed card. Thanks for the very informative and extremely entertaining videos. I've practiced your 3 card monte and am looking forward to trying the 4 card monte soon. Do you take students? LOL
Very nice, and a lot of great information. I’ve gotta watch it a few (dozen) more times to get it, along with the Three Card Monte Tutorial. Thanks for putting this out there.
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?
Tom, do you have links to where we can buy some of the plexiglas and clamps you used in the video? And where we can get the materials for the board you used?
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
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
I like your method for splitting cards thanks

Love the way you teach thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I like your teaching. The first time that i seen you was your version of "Oil and Water."

...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.

Excellent tutorial; you have thought of everything. Loved the technique of putting them together after gluing. Great board also.
@@magicbyspaz use a very thin amount; actually the thinnest you can get away with using, and as you practice, you’ll know what that amount will be.
I pray to God that you live long Tim
Thank you tom great information! Going to need my reading glasses for sure lol.

Great in depth tutorial. How about you make me a few. 😝
What is that board you use to line up the gaffes to get them straight when you glue them?
best tutorial, tankˢ
thank you! great tutorial and saved me loads$
these methods are incredibe
For a safer alternative to the back edge of an X-acto knife, I will try using my drafting eraser shield. It’s made of thin metal.
I love my eraser shields lol. I have heaps of em that I’ve accumulated over the years.
Thanks!

Tom, do you have links to where we can buy some of the plexiglas and clamps you used in the video? And where we can get the materials for the board you used?
Tom Matriq What are the measurements of the pieces of plexiglas?
dagdogg I’d say probably about 5x5 it doesn’t have to be big just big enough to cover the card
Thanks sir you are great 👌👍♥️🎩
Few notes. First do you still gaff cards the same way or any new techniques

Cool
Wonder if steam would pleasure stuff?
cool beans, yo!
Wow
Very good
Can I use glue sticks instead of rubber cenment
Please say how i magnetized a card i spent a lot of money for magnets. How big is the magnet?
I picked the ace of spades 😂
Now You See Me
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
30분 순삭 ㄷㄷ....
just ordered some glue
I saw 7 diamonds
This is the ONLY way to do it.
Sell the boards...
