Magic Tricks

I think that Tommy Meeker was a little unfair in his review about requiring an electron microscope at the card table to be able to read the marks.

I found that if I have just a regular microscope at the card table, I am able to read the marks.

And so I will add my two cents about the USLESS marking system employed on these cards. The marks are far too small for use as a marked deck. I am able to see the “one way” mark but when you buy a marked deck you want to be able to see the marks without being caught looking at the marks. (Please see Jon Armstrong’s excellent tutorial on the “Maiden Back” marked cards.)

I found that when I tried to nonchalantly pass the cards under the microscope to read the marks, my audience immediately became suspicious.

Buy them for the design but not the marked deck.

Also I was disappointed to find NO double backed card and NO blank faced card in the deck.
