You have 3 cards left. Like you saw in the picture, cut out one of them, and glue it on top of the entire thing. You're done!

Now you have two cards left to cover it up with. I haven't figured out a good way to cover it yet. Suggestions are welcome! I was thinking you could use a pin to make a small pivot for the two cards on top, but that will come apart too easy.


As you can see, it's almost identical to a normal pack of cards. It still fits in the same pack and it weighs less, even with a battery!
I think this is a good way to always have spare money with you. Use bills though, no coins, since they make noise.

 To speed up the gluing process, try  power gun nailing the four corners of the deck together then gluing top and bottom to cover the nails. Also to cut multiple card layers drill a pilot hole and use a jigsaw to trim the inside (after power nailing). I've successfully jigsawed layers of paper before. Maybe a rubber band in two directions would hold everything together (like we did in college for a ready game.)

For attaching the bottom cards:
How about a pin/pivot mechanism. I know you said that but hear me out:
- Cut a hole for the pin to sit comfortably in the deck with enough space on top to allow the cover to rotate.
- Super glue the hole. Stick in the pin (through the cards of course).

The pin would be secure, though the cards may still be fragile, depending on how you treat them.

For even more security: Add a magnet in between the two cover cards opposite the pin. Then add a magnet (more cutting!) so the top is one card down from the top of the box. Voila?

 nice thinking. This should also be good for some kind of magic trick too...

(if you don't have magnets, that is)

taking money out of deck of cards, maybe?

That would be pretty awesome, although you would need to have a bottom on the deck.... DOUBLE STICK TAPE!!!!! that would be a great way to keep the cards on the bottom on!
