Shimmed Bicycle Card

If you’ve ever wished a playing card could “behave” on command—stick, slide, hold out, or secretly respond to your touch—Shimmed Bicycle Cards are your new best friend. These are genuine Bicycle cards with a thin steel shimexpertly inserted between the layers of the card. The result is a card that will attract (or be attracted by) a magnet or any magnetized object… while still looking and feeling like an everyday card.

The best part? Thickness and handling stay normal. The shim is hidden inside the card so the card remains the same thickness as a standard Bicycle. That means it can be handled by a spectator without raising eyebrows or triggering the dreaded “let me examine that like I’m on a crime show” moment.

Shimmed cards are a secret weapon in both magic and mentalism because they let you create effects that seem physically impossible:

• a selected card that “mysteriously” clings to a surface
• a card that stays behind when it shouldn’t
• a controlled card reveal that looks hands-off and clean
• sneaky, invisible control when combined with magnets you already have in play

Most performers pair a shimmed card with magnetized coins (which we also carry), because it makes the method compact, natural, and easy to integrate into routines where coins already belong—pockets, purses, tables, or even a spectator’s hand.

Each shimmed card comes with instructions for multiple effects, so you’re not just buying a “gimmick card”—you’re buying a tool you can build routines around. Whether you’re into subtle, mind-reading style demonstrations or visual close-up magic, this is one of those utility items you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.
