Another method I've seen is to use the ad cards that come with a back, the Jokers themselves, or even cards from old decks. Then, with a piece of toilet paper or a tissue moistened with a bit of alcohol, you can patiently rub off the face of the card.
Hey Magnus! I've been thinking, and I've got an idea for you (besides just buying one). Here's the scoop: you can actually split a card (if you've been through any magic courses, you've probably already learned how to do this). Then, take a piece of white cardstock, cut it to the exact shape of a playing card, and then glue the split-off back onto your white cardstock using a glue stick. This is definitely the cheapest way to go, but if you're looking for a perfectly made gimmick, I'd recommend just buying one. That said, if you're really handy, you can absolutely make a perfect one yourself.
Hey @Magnus,
Whether it's a blank back, blank face, or a double blank deck..,
all those decks are bought at magic shops (and they typically run between $8 and $12 a deck).

How do I skin a card?
