The Magic Cafe Forums - Deck of shimmed cards

Thanks for the post.

I should mention that the cards are constructed with a steel- mesh fabric which is INTERGRATED into the paper and not laid between two sheets of paper. I actually split one of these cards to salvage the shim for a Bicycle card but I couldn't seperate the steel-mesh from the paper.

The AD reads:"these cards are made from a very thin piece of steel sandwiched between paper" - I mention this to state that these cards don't feel or handle in any way like regular playing cards nor are the cards constructed as true shimmed cards are (which do approximate the feel of regular cards because they're made from actual split cards).

As some of you may recall, this type of card was what you received with your first Lethal Tender gimmick.
