Product Description

Introducing the P'KUP Card Lifter: Revolutionizing Card Handling for Every Player

Say goodbye to the frustration of picking up cards and hello to the P'KUP Card Lifter—a groundbreaking tool designed to make card handling effortless, precise, and accessible for everyone. Whether you’re a gamer, collector, artist, or someone with unique accessibility needs, P'KUP transforms the way you interact with cards and more.

 

How It Works

The P'KUP Card Lifter features an advanced suction system with a release valve that gently lifts cards, making pickups effortless. With a little help from the wonders of vacuum and air pressure, it can even scoop up a stack of cards, sometimes an entire deck, just long enough to pass them smoothly into your hand like magic! It works flawlessly with all types of cards—from unsleeved standard playing cards to thicker, sleeved collectibles. Watch our demonstration video to see P'KUP effortlessly lift sleeved Magic: The Gathering cards, unsleeved poker cards, and everything in between.

Unlike fingernails that struggle with cards stuck to flat surfaces, P'KUP’s suction makes card pickup a breeze.

 

A Must-Have for Board Gamers

P'KUP streamlines cleanup and resets, making them faster and less frustrating. When cards stick to the table and game pieces are scattered, picking up a card without disrupting the setup can be a nightmare. P'KUP solves this with pinpoint precision, lifting cards effortlessly so you can keep the game flowing. It’s a board gamer’s dream tool—convenient, quick, and chaos-free. With P'KUP, you can quickly reset the game board, saving time and reducing frustration during intense sessions or quick turnarounds between games.

 

Accessibility at Its Core

P'KUP is designed with inclusivity in mind, addressing a wide range of needs:

  • Joint and nerve issues: Reduces strain for those with arthritis or past injuries.
  • Tremors: Maintains a steady grip despite shaky hands.
  • Dexterity challenges: Simplifies card handling for all skill levels.
  • Adaptive aid potential: Occupational therapists see P'KUP as a game-changer for disability and adaptive aid programs.

No matter your hand condition—whether you have thick, trimmed nails from manual labor, long vanity acrylics, no nails due to medical reasons, or limited hand mobility—P'KUP adapts to you, making gaming and card handling accessible to all.

 

Perfect for Gaming Conventions and Dirty Hands

Picture this: you’re at a gaming convention, hands greasy from snacks, and cards scattered everywhere. P'KUP shines here. It lifts cards cleanly without smudging them, even when your hands are dirty. Plus, it differentiates between one card and a stack—use a light press for a single card or a firmer press for multiple cards. No more fumbling with edges or damaging unsleeved cards stuck to the table.

 

For Artists and Designers

Beyond gaming, P'KUP is a favorite among artists and designers. Need to reposition an illustration board without fingerprints or marks? P'KUP’s gentle suction lifts delicate materials cleanly, keeping your work pristine and your creative process uninterrupted.

 

Why You’ll Love P'KUP
  • Versatile Card Pickup: Works with sleeved and unsleeved cards, single or stacked.
  • Edge Protection: Lifts cards without touching edges, preventing damage (unlike nails, which can destroy soft card edges).
  • Real-World Reliability: Outshines toy suction cups for practical use, even with movement or tremors.
  • Inclusive Design: Perfect for all nail types (or no nails) and hand capabilities.
  • Convention-Ready: Keeps cards clean and gameplay smooth, no matter the setting.

 

Why P'KUP Beats Regular Suction Cups

Forget toy darts or basic suction cups—P'KUP is purpose-built for practical use. Its precision-engineered suction technology provides a stronger, more reliable grip than generic suction cups, holding cards of varying weights without dropping them, even with movement or tremors. Unlike flimsy toy versions, P'KUP’s ergonomic design and adjustable suction make it a superior choice for gamers and professionals alike, ensuring cards stay secure until you release them.

 

Elevate Your Experience

Whether you’re deck-building with cards spread out or simply enjoying a board game night, this tool delivers. It’s more than a card lifter—it’s a solution for players, creators, and anyone seeking accessibility and convenience.

      FREQUENTLY ASKED
      QUESTIONS

      DOES P’KUP WORK WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARDS?

      Yes! Standard cards, textured/linen finish, plastic, etc. – P’kup can handle them all.

      BUT DOES IT WORK WITH CARD SLEEVES?

      Sure does! Gloss/matte, transparent/opaque, foil/holo, penny/premium thickness – We’ve tried them all and P’kup works like a charm.

      How many cards can P'kup handle?

      It can lift up to 50 cards from a gaming mat, though most use cases involve handling 1-10 cards at a time effortlessly—making it ideal for card games and collections.

      HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK?

      PKUP holds cards in just the right concave shape (don’t worry no card damage after thousands of tests) - this creates a vacuum between the cards which allows PKUP to handle multiple cards or even a whole deck!

      It won’t hold multiple cards forever, but usually long enough that you can pick them up and put them in your hand or wherever you want them to go.

      Will it damage my cards?

      Absolutely not! P'kup uses gentle suction, ensuring your cards stay in perfect condition.

      Is it easy to use?

      Yes, it's incredibly user-friendly. Just press and lift – it's that simple!

      How do I clean my P'kup?

      Simply wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals to maintain its suction ability.

      Is it portable?

      Yes, its sleek design makes it perfect for on-the-go use, fitting easily in a bag or pocket.

      Good name. Tells you exactly what it is but gives enough curiosity for people to look further

      I use mine for picking up cardstock on my craft table. It's perfect for all those little pieces that get suctioned to my work surface

      I was hopeful… then happy

      This product does exactly what it’s set to do.
      Using on mat surfaces works great!
      They do claim it can pick up 50 cards and that I have to disagree. But even with that disagreement it’s still 5/5 because I’m never needing this product to pick up 50 cards.
      I mainly using it to pick up 1-8 cards and works like a charm

      Works great

      We are impressed with how well this works, and surprised that it really does suction beyond just a single card. When picking up cards off a board you need to be careful to just use it lightly or it lifts the board up some, it will take some practice. The design is great and it works much better than we expected.

      Skeptical but…

      I was skeptical as to whether or not this thing was going to work. But I’ll be damned, as advertised. The artificers have put in over time to make this thing work

      I actually love it

      Wow it actually works as advertised! I thought it would be gimmicky but it’s actually super useful

      Works as Promised

      Pick up one card or a deck. Don't try to transport them too far (physics) but you can pick them up without bending any cards. Keep your cards safe and save time for your gaming.

      Great for accessibility and for difficult surfaces

      We bought these as one of my daughters has accessibility issues and finds it difficult to pick up cards, but we also found they help all of the family when trying to pick cards up from flat shiny surfaces where they have a tendency to slide around.
      Worked first attempt and these have now become a must have for every game session.
