Marked Cards Meaning

The marked cards are cheating cards or magic props of poker cards.

In the past process of marking playing cards, people tried to physically change the back of the cards in an attempt to gain an advantage in games or magic shows, such as by bending or adding visible marks to a card.

Nowadays, marked cards manufacturers have designed a series of highly hidden marking systems in the back pattern design, and even use special ink to mark invisible marks on the back or sides of the cards.

The process of making the marked deck in the years to many people this may be a secret but attractive thing.

There are some ideas and articles online about marking cards or marked cards, however there's never a standard specification for them. Have worked with the cards marking team for several years, I want to share something about the poker cards marking here.

In recent poker tricks magician industry, marked poker cards are no longer a luxury any more since it is become more and more affordable and powerful with the rapid development of cards marking technology. Generally speaking, the marked cards can be divided into two main parts, including:

Secret Code Marked Decks

The Best Magic Marked Deck Tricks

Initially, the secret code marked decks are developed for the magicians or illusionists to perform various funny and magical poker magic tricks to entertain the audience, like street magic.

I bet most of you had watched the magic show on the amusement parks, circus troupes or TV shows when you were a little child. The performer can predict the poker result, what is more, no matter which card the audience selected, he can pick it up from a shuffled deck of playing cards easily.

It seemed as if he could see through the cards. As a matter of fact, this not because he has magic power, but either he was practiced enough to make a false shuffle skillfully, or the playing cards he used were magic decks with secret code.

Usually the so called magic decks with special secret code marks that people can see with naked eyes after training, however, those without training would know nothing about those marks. Next, I will introduce 4 different types of magic decks.

(1) Block-out marked decks with cards marking ink

Block-out is one of the most practical ways to mark cards in the past time. Literally, block-out work is simply using the same color ink as the back of the card and coloring in small white areas of the card. That is also called “writing” in the poker tricks field. Different to the nowadays invisible ink marked playing cards, the poker that marked by block-out are not flawless to our human naked eyes. This is indeed a very useful skill in magic performances, but in a poker game, the traces of coloring can be detected by cheaters at a close distance.

Poker Deck Rank

To mark cards in this way, manufacturers need to find some dyes and try many time to adjust with the purpose of making the color which is very close to the color of poker back.

After tests and attempts, it takes time to wait the marks become dry. Otherwise, the marks would disappear or fade very quickly. Marking a deck of cards with block-out may cost about one or two weeks.

Of course, you can also choose not to mark all the playing cards, because the more coloring, the more risk.

This trick is very important for poker cheaters.

Spade Ace, King are the cards that usually poker cheaters like to mark. Don’t underestimate this little small defect on Ace and King, some experienced poker players can change their underdog situation as long as they make a good use of these two marked poker cards.

Nevertheless, as the great prevalence of marked cards by block-out, the secret of these marked cards are revealed. More and more people are aware of these marks, so the block-out cards marking can only serve the magician.

(2) Marked cards with cut-out marks

Compared with block-out, cut-out technique is another representative cards marking technique. It defines cut-out that people sometimes use a razor to scrape off some of the printed area of the card, such as adding (cutting) a white bird in the back design.

Not only a razor, any pointy things like knife, needle or pin can be used as a tool to mark cards.

Cut-out marking aims to change the back pattern of poker in the most natural way.

To mark cards with cut-out technique, some elements are indispensible: professional tool, expert and patience.

This seems to be a very dull way now, but it was also very practical a long time ago.

(3) Professional magic decks with printed marks

As the secrets of the marked playing cards were revealed, the magic props manufacturer invented various marked decks specially designed for magicians.

Poker

Those who have used magic marked cards will know that there are special code marks on the back of these printed marked decks, which can help the magicians to identify or pick up the certain card easily.

Usually these special code marks were made and printed at the same time that the patens of the back are printed. They just add something or change something slightly. There are three common types of these magic marked decks.

Number Markings

Marked cards with mini numbers or hieroglyphics. The markings of mini numbers is one of the most easily recognizable marks among all the marked cards. Usually the marking is very small and near the sign of special patens so that people won't find it easily.

Shape Markings

Marked deck have special shapes for the markings. This kind of marked deck is one of the most difficult recognizable ones. The markings are very special signs such as a flower with different petals or leaves. Usually these marks of every cards are at the same place.

Color Markings

Marked poker cards have special markings of color difference on the back. This is reflected as every cards has one point color slightly different to others while all other parts are exactly the same. These markings can be a thick line to stand for different numbers.

Deck

In recent days, invisible ink marked playing cards play a very important role, which takes gradually takes the places of those original marked decks.

Usually the contact lenses marked cards, the side barcode marked decks and infrared ink marked cards are included in the so called invisible ink marked cards, as they are all processed with the invisible luminous ink (different ink has different natures).

posted December 08, 2011 03:03 PM It most likely that they came from getting an upgraded 'legends' membership from a Duelist magazine subscription in the mid 1990's. That is where I got my MTG playing cards, and that is where most of the MTG playing cards that sell on eBay come from, as far as I know.

Their sale was between 25-29 dollars for a sealed deck, last I checked.

Edit: I guess they also gave some out to judges? I just remember the deck and a pewter life counter from the Duelist.

magiclibrarities has the info on the different decks so you can figure out which you have.

the first link is the more rare version. If you have it, I'm not sure the value... maybe someone else can better help. If that is the one you have, I'd advise against taking offers via PM as people will tend to lowball when their offer isn't public.

posted December 09, 2011 05:20 AM The Carta Mundi poker deck is much rarer than the DCI Legends (Yaquinto) poker deck. It dates back to the earliest days of Magic, and was produced in a small lot by Carta Mundi for WOTC, which gave them out to big shareholders and WOTC Employees at one of the first annual meetings.

Because of its rarity, not many collectors know about it and as a result it's value is usually close to the more common DCI Legends(Yaquinto) deck. The last few I have seen the DCI deck at ~$25 - $40, while the Carta Mundi deck went for ~ $10 to $15 more. But this wasn't always the case. 10 years ago, when the DCI Legnds deck was selling for ~ $15, the Carta Mundi deck was known to exceed $100.
