Wow, this extreme special deck of cards must be very useful for any card worker, read info and you will put this on a wishlist:

Marked + Stripped + Stacked!

Put me a down for a million of em'.

Just don't use this type of marked cards for knowledgeable people or in a game.....you will be nailed...it is VERY easy to discover this type of mark if you use the "gambler's riffle test".

Great for magic and most audiences.

Marked six ways? Even in magic who needs six types of mark on a deck??

I did not notice that.....what a great way to increase the odds of getting caught

Six ways, I've seen a BW marked deck, and made one with the old book, but it was not marked in 6 ways.

I think you'll find that this deck is being sold by Boris Wild's online shop......but is in fact a deck of cards manufactured by a magic shop in Las Vegas called "Houdini's".

In other words, it isn't a Boris Wild Marked Deck at all, but a magic shop tourist deck.

The Boris Wild deck is not stripped either....this is probably a knock off.

No, it's no a knock off of anything, it's a Gamblers Marked Deck from Houdini Magic Shops in Las Vegas.
It's sold to tourists in the malls.

It was created by Geno Munari, who owns the magic shops.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the Boris Wild deck, which was where this thread got off on the wrong foot.

Oh...thanks....that is actually good....Boris's system is too good to expose to the public

Good job the public never watch you tube.

The Gambler's Marked Deck from Houdini Magic is still available - see the official product page (costs $33).

The concept reminds me of Andy Nyman's "The Code" in terms of what it can do: being able to identify the card above and below a cut card, and identify its position in the stack. Am I right that it doesn't use the Mnemonica Stack, but something called the "Erdnase Stack", whatever that is? At least, that's what the accompanying booklet seems to suggest.

The Code only came out in 2013, whereas this was already released back in 2009. Given how much attention and praise The Code got when it was first released, and similarly Luke Jermay's Marksman Deck, why hasn't the Gambler's Marked Deck received more attention? Boris Wild was involved with it as well, and yet there seems to be hardly any info about it online, and not much buzz at all.

The give away is the note on the display card that says "FUN & EASY TO DO!"

This is a kids deck, covered with marks that anybody can see for the trouble of just looking.
It has nothing to do with gambling, and very little (if anything) to do with serious card magic.

It's a toy.

That's what I thought at first too. But take a look at this video from magician PigCake, who ranks it as #2 in his all time favourite marked decks to use:

TOP 5 Marked Decks (Best gimmicked deck)

It is produced by USPCC, so the card quality is the same as a standard Bicycle deck. And the markings sound very similar to The Code, except that it uses a different stack.

It was released around 2009 already, and included involvement from Boris Wild, so that gives it some credibility.

Its a deck they sell at tourist magic shops and things like that. There are many decks out there better than this one

Have you seen a copy or own one? And which marked decks do you consider to be better than this?

I've since corresponded with Boris Wild about this deck, because he was involved heavily in its creation. It turns out that it's actually comparable to other marked decks in this niche (e.g. Andy Nyman's The Code, Luke Jermay's Marksman Deck). It's a USPCC printed deck and the quality is good and like any Bicycle deck, and it uses a stack and has the potential to do the same kind of things as those decks.

The only real difference is that they figured they'd get more sales marketing it to the many tourists passing through Las Vegas than to magicians. But the quality isn't inferior - this isn't a cheap gimmick or toy, despite the place where it's being sold. Why do you say that there are many decks out there better than this?

For the main purpose, or one of them, for this part of the Café - they arent anything special. If I needed things like that I would probably go to slim card co or do it myself. Then again, I don't really buy many magic trick these days anyway

Go to Houdini Magic, buy the deck, have it in your pocket in your hotel, go to jail.
By the way, what happened to USPCC's pledge to not modify the Rider back?

Maiden Back, not Rider.
