Hi all, I am very happy to tell you that my marked deck is now available to order directly from myself. This has been an idea of mine for so many years and only recently was I able to come up with a solution. The basic concept was for a deck of cards that are marked on their backs in such a way the marks become more apparent the further away from the deck the performer views them from whilst at the same time remaining completely concealed to spectators. I am happy to say that I managed to achieve this perfectly.
This deck was created out of necessity as I struggle to see smaller marks. My marks appear in BOLD letters across the full back of each card, yet stay completely hidden to spectators. The unique principle at work and back pattern of each card, based on a mathematical principle, does all of the work for you. In fact, the marks are even clearer to short sighted performers like myself, without glasses on and can be read up to four feet away. The marks will stay concealed to spectators due to the fact that three different principles of perception are utilised in the design of the deck. I have had other performers say that this deck is going to be the ultimate system for themselves. Those who have seen it already, love it. The advantage of this deck over others apart from the ease at which you can read each mark is the fact that these can be read from a distance, allowing for hands off applications not possible before with a shuffled deck.

Wow, the distance thing should really strengthen the impact and impossibility during the routine.

No. It is a unique pattern design that enables this to work.

I like the quotes from people on your site that you don't credit and the lack of pictures of the backs.
Seems legit. |

They are printed on 310gsm card stock with Linen finish. I use these personally, so they had to be the highest quality.
The two quotes are from Ben Cardall and Jakob Michaels. My reputation is very good. I would never rip any one off or put out a product I thought was less than the high standards I set for myself. |

Just sends out warning signals when you don't attribute quote and don't show a picture of the backs of the cards, nor say who manufactured them.

No need to do either of these things. Those who know of my work and reputation will get these. Any questions I am happy to answer in person.

I love using a marked deck but not so sure about using an unique looking back.

So, just to be clear, is the back a lion image?
I really like the idea. There are many routines that lend themselves to a marked deck over a memorized deck. I know magicians get very caught up on the back design (I do as well, a bit, I must confess). However, Lay people could care less. The only issue in my mind, is if you are going to use this deck, you really should ONLY use this deck during your performance. If you are going to switch out decks, you would want them to have the same backs. So, I would think if someone were to get this, they should probably get the multiple deck offering. Fraser, great idea, and I wish you success with this. KJ |

No, the back is not a lion image, look at the website, you can see what it looks like
