A multi-functional card cutting device for creating your own gimmicked cards.
"The Card Craftsman" is a versatile cutting tool designed by John Cheung, the imaginative creator of numerous competition gimmick cards.
Each unit is is equipped with size scales, multiple cutting functions (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, circular, single trapezoid, short cards/cards stripper cards), and pressure functionality for singular gimmicks or restoring full decks.
You also receive extra cutting blades and elastic thread (for Flap Cards and other gimmicks). Additional accessories will be sold in the future as the system grows.
Each "Card Craftsmen" come with a detailed 1-hour tutorial covering the basics of the card cutter, as well as easy-to-follow instructions for creating professional gimmick cards. You'll even learn routines for putting the gimmicks into action.
This tool is just leaps and bounds over the one that came out years ago called the bullet. I have that one as well! Now, the idea of both is simple to start. Not all of us can do the Mercury card fold like other finger flinger cards men, so we cheat a bit; that's where tools like the bullet, as mentioned above, came in, but now the Card Craftsman takes this concept to a new level. It is more than just giving a pre-score to do the MCF. This little diddy allows you to have a deck press and cut cards in any unique way you can imagine. They include a spool of elastic thread, and the video shows how to make some fun gimmicks. So many ideas you can do once you understand what it is you have. It comes nicely boxed, all parts professionally made, and can be stored in the bags supplied or in the box. Did I mention you don't need to get the hobby knife? One is included in the set. Even if you only make flap cards, this tool is worth having.

Andrew asks: Can you make a scalloped short card with this?
Douglas asks: Can this be used to trim multiple cards at once, or just single cards? Could an entire deck be cut all at once? Or if not, is there a method to precisely cut multiple cards exactly the same way?
Craig asks: Would this work as helper/edge for aligning two split cards for make gaffs?
Giuseppe asks: Does this help with splitting cards as well?
Carter asks: What types of cuts can you do with this? It mentions some in the trailer, is that all it can do, or are their more?
