SD CARD STUCK (CANON T3i) PLEASE HELP

I accidentally put my SD card into my T3i UPSIDE DOWN, and now it is stuck. How can I fix this? A decently sized part of the SD card is sticking out of the slot.

SD connectors are pretty tough (especially compared to the CF interface) but you need to be gentle. If there is a little bit of it sticking up, use a thin pair of tweezers and gently coax it out.  But before you go any further, remove the battery to avoid damage from contacts forced together.

I've **just** bought a SL3 and i did the same! I put it upside down and it got stuck.

I didn't find any solution in youtube or the web, so I tried to add a slice of hard sheet of paper in one of the sides of the sd card.

VERY SIMILAR APPROACH, BUT FOR SIM CARDS (look at min 1:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTDdfQKFuEo

Once the blocker was opened I was able to remove it without any strength whatsoever.

The blocker was on the walls instead of the bottom, so you don't need to push the sheet of paper until the end.

Try to add the sheet of paper on the both sides, if you use strength, it didn't work.
