If you're wanting to get into the marked deck side of effects, this is a great one to start with.
You can literally learn to correctly call every card every time within five minutes. The markings
are clear and the system is easy to memorize. Unfortunately, anyone looking at the back of the cards
(especially a court card) will be able to catch the marks within 30 seconds. They may not be able to
tell exactly how you know the suits of the cards, but they will easily figure out the numbering
system. If you keep the deck moving, or if you do a deck switch so they never get to study it, this
is a great deck. It's a standard Bicycle deck in every other way. The jokers are not marked, so you
can hand them out for examination all day long, and that will probably satisfy many spectators, but
not all. So if you're careful, you can make this work. But if you're thinking of taking this pro or
on the street (you know folks always want to examine cards when possible), you're better off
spending a little more for a different deck. It'll take longer to learn, but it'll be worth the
effort.
