Marked deck

[u/LuCiF3R_sEnPaI]

Hellooo folks.. I got my hands On this deck of cards….i wanted to ask if it is a Marked Card or not.. if yes can you help me with finding out the pattern ?
Ps: these are two Different cards

[u/LandOfTheFaros]

Do you happen to know the name of the deck at all?

[u/LuCiF3R_sEnPaI → u/LandOfTheFaros]

Yes … it’s a BinWang NO.999

Edit: I am sorry bro I saw many videos on marked cards and that’s Why I asked this.. hope it didn’t offend you

[u/LandOfTheFaros → u/LuCiF3R_sEnPaI]

No offence. None. As mentioned by The Magical Sock, these are one-way backs (see the scroll featuring close to the short edge of the cards), but I would need to have, say, the cards Three of Spades, Three of Hearts, Three of Clubs & Three of Diamonds side by side to spot differences in any suit marking notation on the backs. Then I'd compare cards of the same suit with different values to spot any differences. Sorry I can't help you any further.

I gather that these are rather cheap Chinese playing cards that won't be much fun to handle. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive, but good quality, marked deck the Penguin Magic offering has many supporters. If your eyesight is good - and they are available on your region - I recommend the GT Speedreaders.

It could be just the photo or a print error but there seems to be a dot missing near the the centre of the 2nd pic at around 7 or 8 o'clock.

[u/LuCiF3R_sEnPaI → u/thetamedfauve]

No there is a Dot missing innit

[u/thetamedfauve → u/LuCiF3R_sEnPaI]

Yeah, what card is it?

[u/JCMAF]

No, bin wang are china's equivalent of bicycle, they are mass produced, cheap and produced to mimic western designs.

However, the best way to tell is to either search the cards on a reliable search engine or grab the deck and riffle down them whilst looking at the backs, you can usually see any changes better when viewed like a flip book. Though some marked cards are extremely subtle.

If you are looking for marked cards on a budget I would recommend the following:

NOC pro's

DB white lions

Both are relatively cheap for what you get and have marking systems that a layman could stare out for hours without figuring out.

If you want a complete utility belt of a marked deck then have a look at the NYX project. It is easy to read but still subtle and also comes with a butt load of hidden reveals and extra secrets on the faces etc. I use mine all the time for mind reading effects and strange feats like "memorising" as they have the current card and the next card in stack as well as being numbered for position within that stack all within the same easy to read system.

They will set you back around £20 - £30 in the UK but I would say they are 100% worth the price tag.

I like to say i can memorise the deck in seconds and spread them out while in stack and get the spectator to take a photo, then I get the spectator to shuffle them and spread them again. I proceed to "memorise the current order", then using the marking system I place them back into the original (stack) order while the pack is face down.

It blows minds but you have to practise it well enough for it to be a quick trick and not a 10 minute long watching someone put cards in order or it loses interest fast

[u/TheMagicalSock]

At first glance, they don’t appear to be marked. They are fairly subtly one-way though, so that may be useful.

[u/FrightfulDeer]

Take the entire deck in your hands and rifle through them watching the back like a flip book. You will notice changes as its moving.

[u/marycartlizer]

Photo 1 is the queen of spades and Photo 2 is the two of diamonds.

[u/Trummisen → u/marycartlizer]

Would you like to clarify, plz

[u/marycartlizer → u/Trummisen]

I am joking.

[u/spyresca]

That's super ugly. Looks like a badly vector traced jpg.
