Fig. 14: A corner trimmer is a good way to round the corners on your cards so they look natural.

8. Round the trimmed corners (optional). If you trimmed your deck a lot, the corners on the trimmed ends might look sharp. It’s unlikely that the spectator will notice, but it doesn't hurt to round the corners. You’ll need to use a corner punch — a mechanical device that cuts a rounded corner in a sheet of card stock. The corner radius of a Bicycle card is 3mm, and you can buy a wide variety of punches, ranging from under $15 to hundreds of dollars. I bought the Japanese Sun-Star Kadomaru Pro Corner Cutter on Amazon for $13. It cuts 3mm corners as well as 5mm and 8mm corners. (These larger corners are perfect for making a “corner short” card, which you can use to force a certain playing card on an unwitting spectator.)
