The Ultimate Marked Deck
There are a few key qualities that make a top deck of cards. * It should feature an user-friendly reader system. It should have enough-sized markings along the long edges. The markings should be disguised sufficiently to look as normal as possible.
The Ultimate Marked Deck, formerly known as Rider Back Marked Deck, is the most popular deck available to magicians today. It was released in a limited edition in red and blue and is the only deck ever to have the iconic Rider Back design from The United States Playing Cards Company.
This marked deck comes with a no-cost online tutorial video made by Rick Lax. The 48 minute tutorial will teach you everything you need to be aware of to make the most of your new markings including how to see them discreetly under the cover of other moves.
Garrett Thomas, one the deck’s creators, is also featured in the video. He shows you how to do some amazing tricks with the markings. Particularly, he covers Dai Vernon’s classic “The Trick That’s Hard to be Explained” and a few other solid and practical ideas for using the markings to improve your magic routines.
This deck is more deceptive than many others in that it has the markings placed in two different places on the front of the card, and on the reverse of the face. This makes it less likely to be discovered by a person watching or through the “riffle test” (“taking a deck to the cinema”) than other kinds of marked decks, such as the Boris Wild Marked Deck and the GT Speedreader.
Many have inquired about what makes this deck distinct from other decks on the market. It is important to remember that the markings on this deck could be less than other marked decks. This means that you’ll require more sharper eyes than other decks. However, the reduced size of the marks allow for some unique applications and advantages that other marked decks do not offer.
This deck also has jet black printing which is a huge benefit in low-light conditions. This deck has a sleek design, which magicians often love.
The decks are also printed in a way that can be easily combined with a stack of cards (the Boris Wild Memorized Deck) to create more dramatic effects. This deck can be particularly useful for magicians who are professionals, since it allows them to take their work to the next level by adding a layer of improvised magic that’s easy for the audience to comprehend and appreciate.
It is a great option for those who want to learn how to read the markings on cards or are seeking a deck that can be used in more complicated and advanced routines.
