A card clip has several subtle uses and we can also add to that by several other ideas I've been pondering.

First off, a deck with a clip emphasizes singularity and style. Style is simple enough in itself. Singularity is special : nearly noone will think you can have two decks with two card clips on them... People may think of a deck switch in other circumstances but not when there's a card clip.

Second, the card clip suposedly keeps the case intact longer... in fact I think that it keeps the card CASE intact longer... which is quite important when you have a 3 of clubs card box or the such... Plus, they hide the face of the deck a little longer so no worries people might see the text even though noone will look anyway...

A card clip also can keep special decks in place : such as a klone deck. (Mouth waters....)

A card clip can be used as a stand to place cards in front to show a revealed card and placing it on the table : you place the card clip up and you can balance a card on it no problem since it has enough weight.

Card clips permit special moves with xcm as you toss the deck out from one hand to the other while spinning a 180 for the deck which arrives in the other hand and then open the deck and so on...

Card clips are a bit of misdirection, you can place the card case in the pocket and load a card or get something at the same time...

And now for more recent ponderings :
Card clips could have a revelation on them, a thought of word....

The Card clip can be the receptacle of a flash paper effect so you dont use the table but rather make the burn on the clip...

If it is possible with the producer of card clips we could make them in such a manner that there would not only be a nice image on them but also a gradient which could permit a revelation with paper and pencil ... the same way we can see the image of a penny when we scratch the sufrace with a pencil while theres a paper there... So... the gradient wouldnt be visible but could be drawn off...

the card clip could also include the popular burn marks (to have on finger tips ... lazy me dont want to look for the name of the item...)

The clip prevents the deck from getting wet

The clip could actually hide the fact that you have a peep hole in a corer of the card box.

Thats it for now ...

Good day.
