Card Peggers (Nick Diffatte)
- Difficulty: N/A
- Category: GAMING
- Product Type: ACCESSORY
This is a precision-made card pegger also known as a card punch that is based on the Dr. X design. A card punch is used to mark cards by adding invisible blisters to them (like braille) so you can find the cards you marked by feel.
These peggers were made by Nick Diffatte, who is the exclusive heir to the Dr. X line of gambling products and gimmicks and was taught how to make the various items that were produced under that brand.
These tiny peggers are secret weapons used by card cheaters to mark cards during play by attaching them to their fingers or thumb and putting in the work while handling the cards.
These types of punches have also been known to be secretly attached to tables, rings, watches, buttons, and other objects that might get in contact with cards.
The advantage of these types of punches is that they do not have to be adjusted like the pin versions and they will not pierce the cards since they do not have any sharp edges.
There have been many applications published in magic books over the years but there has also been a trend developing among mentalists who use these marked cards as key cards, that can be found by feel, to create some impossible effects.
A MyMagic Product. These peggers are tiny, so we are selling them as a set of two, so you have a spare, in case you lose one. They are made of brass and are around an eighth of an inch in diameter. No instructions.

Customer Reviews
These two sub-miniature peggers are a bargain!
Buying magic utilities, gimmicks, props, and tricks can sometimes feel like a game of how much can you pay for so little? This can be frustrating if little means the quality of the effect. Little can also reference the size of the item as in the case of these card peggers. I recommend not calculating the cost per ounce. Gold probably costs less.
However, if little references the quality, these two sub-miniature peggers are a bargain! You pay much less than the value of their utility. I have an effect that involve business cards that are kept in a holder where a pre-blister works but isn't as freely chosen. I now have these in diagonal corner of my holder and I can peg a needed card undetected.
Just don't practice with them on deep pile carpet till you can handle them well. Avoid sneezing if they are loose on a surface. Follows these and other similar cautionary practices when you start out and you'll be happy with the power of these near-micro items.

Excellent product.
Excellent product. I needed a tool to punch some cards for a trick. First, I tried a simple needle, but it was not very practical. Then, I tried the jab punch (very well made) by Eoin O'Hare (The perfect shuffle), which uses a needle. In both cases, I had difficulties to locate and feel the marks. I no longer have this problem with the card peggers. Two recommendations : 1) Be careful not to lose the peggers (they are very small) : you can glue them on a solide surface for instance, or a card, as shown by Meir Yedid in the trailer. 2) It may be useful to make 2 marks close to each other to detect easier a mark.
