Purple Bicycle Deck Gaffs

Building on @magicamente's fused card idea: you could perform a routine for a couple, perfect for Valentine's Day. Force the two cards that will eventually fuse, one on each person, then join them together (like in @magicamente's video) and reveal that "they're made for each other" (super romantic, lol).

Alternatively, after forcing the cards, you can lose one of them in the deck, then the other, to see if it can find its match. In this scenario, you'd have the 'seeker card' signed on the back before losing it in the deck, so it can be identified later (but actually, you'd have them sign the gimmick – hint: Double Lift). The outcome would be that it finds it so well, it brings it back fused/printed. Here's an idea: you could pretend to fail. Once you've lost the signed card (the gimmick, but the spectator thinks it's the one they "freely" chose), give the deck a slight shuffle (controlling it so it doesn't actually end up next to the other forced card). Then, perform a spread on the table (or in your hands), and pretend it found the other spectator's card, showing one of the two cards next to it. You ask what card it was, and then the 'failure' happens: it's neither of them! Apparently, the signed card (the seeker) wasn't able to find the other one ("it couldn't find its true love," etc. – a story for Valentine's Day). And then you introduce the magic: magical dust, a blow, have them kiss the signature – whatever you can come up with. Flip the card over, and boom! (They should be amazed, lol).

This idea popped into my head based on another one I saw where one spectator signs a card on the back (without knowing what it is) and another signs a different card on the face, and in the end, it turns out to be the same card. (Sorry for the scattered explanation, I'm not sure if it makes sense).

This just occurred to me right now, so I apologize for the rambling explanation; I hope it's understandable.

1. With the (6,10) gaff, you could create a type of snap change, perhaps with a story where one card visibly penetrates or transforms into the other. For example, hold the 10 and the gaff (6/10) in one hand for the snap change, and a 6 in your other hand.

Make the 6 vanish from your hand and, at the same time, perform the snap change on the 10 with the gaff card. There are many ways to vanish the 6; you just need to be a bit creative to make it disappear, and executing the change simultaneously will give the illusion that the cards fused.

2. With the other card, you could do a vanishing color change, but only halfway.

For instance, with the palm color change (I can't recall the specific name, my apologies), you would perform it but not fully complete it, removing your hand before the end to create the illusion.

These are just a few ideas; I hope they're helpful!

Speaking of gaff cards. I got this one in a yellow deck (it's a double-backer). Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
