Regarding "Going Up": other backs and sizes?

I am from Europe and we have very divers backs and a different usual playing card size here. So the pre-made gimmicks would be of little to no use to me. Is there a a possibility to purchase only the training and an explanation how the gimmicks are made?

It might be helpful to get a hint first too: is it even possible to make the gimmicks by hand (like from existing cards) or would the possibility to print own cards be sufficient to produce costum gimmicks? (I have designed an own deck so I could order a copy with some additional modified cards)

Bicycle cards are widely available in many European countries so the cards shouldn't look too strange. They are printed on Bicycle Maiden backed cards. Even in the United States, Bicycle Maiden Backed cards are rare. They are designed to look like Bicycle Rider backed cards with some subtle differences, and most audiences won't see the difference unless they are directly comparing the two back designs.

These cards are specially printed for this trick. You wouldn't easily be able to find gaffs in other back designs and it wouldn't be very easy to make your own.

If you are looking for a normal deck with the same back design take a look at these options:

Then here is a marked version of the same back design:
