A brilliant cheap (but thorough) resource for those new to DIY card gimmicks! a few dollars well spent IMHO

Agree. The tips on setting up the Fiskar cutters for accurately trimming cards are worth the price IMO.

Why, don't you like James P. Riser's free PDF file for making your own playing card cutter?

Didn't know about Riser's until after I had bought the reference mentioned above. In fact, what Mark Frauenfelder describes is the Riser playing card cutter. Mark gave credit to Riser in the booklet.

So I do like the Riser playing card cutter !

Got my Riser card cutter set up. Constructed a Mene-Tekel deck! I didn't own a Mene-Tekel when I was a teenage magician in the early 1960s -- its fun! Ran through several routines with my wife as spec --- she liked it! She wondered which sleight I was using as she knows I'm working my way through some advanced sleight books at the moment. Cool ! No heat on the deck , lol !
