Re: Need help with gimmick production/design but trust no one.
I saw an advert for a device that rolls cards in the last week or so.
Cant remember where. you could always try a long split cotter pin.
shove the card in the split, and turn.
I would use thinner cards too.Manipulation cards , for example dont have teh thick core, and will roll up easy.

just checked, and it's not listed in his show from 1933.
But, it is shown on the cover of his pitch book, complete with the Buzz saw. so i think it's something introduced after 1933.
but only just, as Goldin died in 1939.
