Re: Glue for playing cards?
I have no idea where you can find one and I don’t have myself, but Todd Lassen made the Lassen Card Gaffing Genii which was specifically designed to make gaffs using dry mount from poker sized cards using the genii and an iron to provide the heat.

Re: Card Craft
The USPS completed the”last mile” of the delivery today after UPS got it in their hands Thursday morning. No complaints here. It arrived in perfect condition and I’ll be buried in it for quite a while.
Thanks, Richard, for making this available.

Re: Card Craft
UPS app updated the delivery date to today (12/27) but it hasn’t arrived as of 2pm. It was received in Fife,WA at 7:28 am (107 miles north of me). Given it was listed as leaving Rossford, OH on 12/22, I’m pretty sure the blizzard conditions affecting both I-90 & I-94 caused the delay.

The Cliff Green technique (seems that he was the first, using this in the '20s or '30s) involves no overt finger movement. The activity of the left first finger is not only under the deck, it's very slight. It also doesn't fail. Using your left pinky to pull down those cards one at a time involves ...
