Passionate for Cards
SLIM MAGIC
MAGICIAN & COLLECTOR
Part-time magician and fully passionate by gambling gaffs and memorabilia as well as gambling sleights, he started acquiring gaff decks to try and get the feeling card cheaters of the Far West had when they worked on a mark using marked cards or strippers. But he would always end up with the same problem, the poor quality of the playing cards. The cut would clearly be visible and anyone could spot it and see the trick.

This site is a homage to the old card companies from the twenties to sixties that sold gaff cards and other gambling equipment from catalogs that claimed their products were the best and compared to no others.
Over the years, we have accumulated tons of playing cards, gambling gaffs, old gambling catalogs, books and other memorabilia in order to learn how cheaters used to work their craft. We are always fascinated when we browse through an old Blue book (KC Card Co) catalog or one from Hunt & Company. We would think how great it would be to buy a combination belly strippers deck of playing cards or to get our hands on some shakeout and figure out what the hell they were anyway!
We do this to incorporate this knowledge in magic, gambling demos and in the making of magical and gambling gaffs. AND because it’s our passion to find such treasures!

It’s been a year Today that Jack passed away and even though we haven’t known each other for many years, I feel sad. I decided to post an amended excerpt from my forthcoming book as an homage to Fast Jack Farrell.
THE GUY THAT RUNS THAT WEBSITE MAKES SOME OF THE NICEST GAFFED CARDS I'VE EVER SEEN. TOP-NOTCH WORK. I PUT HIS WORK, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREAS OF FINE AND SUPER-FINE STRIPPER DECKS AND OTHER ESOTERIC SPECIALTY CUTS, RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BEST!!

N-STRIPPERS ARE AN INCREDIBLE TOOL. MAKE NO MISTAKE - THEY ARE A CHALLENGE TO MASTER (EVEN DAI VERNON ACKNOWLEDGED THAT), BUT ARE WELL WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT. THIS PRODUCT FROM SLIM IS VERY HIGH QUALITY. I CAN'T SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH OF THE CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND THE PRICE IS MORE THAN FAIR. WHETHER YOU'RE A MECHANIC, PERFORMER OR COLLECTOR, YOU'LL WANT TO HAVE THESE.
