Magic Playing Card Decks

Whether you’re a beginner or a professional magician, you can find all kinds of decks that make your card magic magic even more powerful. These are known as Trick Decks or Gimmicked Decks, and they’re a great addition to your repertoire!

When choosing a marked deck for your next performance, it’s important to look for one that is easy to read. It should also look as normal as possible, so it’s beyond suspicion.

Invisible Deck

The invisible deck is one of the most popular card tricks in magic. It is easy to perform and can be used in a variety of different ways.

The trick is a great way to show your audience that you can perform a card trick without having to use a gimmicked pack. You can also show them how the cards are constructed.

This is a powerful effect that will leave your audience bewildered and wondering how you can do it. It is one of the most devastating effects available to magicians and requires no sleight of hand.

A spectator is asked to name a card from an invisible deck. Then the invisible deck is swapped for a standard deck of cards. The invisible deck is then swung out from the pack and one of the chosen cards appears face down. This is the exact card that was named by the spectator.

Key Card Method

If you’ve ever stayed in a hotel, you’ve probably seen a key card that you swipe to unlock the door. They’re also common in office buildings and other places where access is controlled.

There are a few different types of key cards, depending on the technology they use to store data and communicate with a reader. They range from magnetic stripe cards, to RFID cards, and even near field communication (NFC) cards.

For example, a magnetic stripe card has thousands of tiny magnets that can be polarized either north or south. These tiny magnets store a sequence of numbers that are then read by a sensor coil in a reader.

Some of these magnetic stripe cards have short lengths of annealed wire embedded into them. This wire changes polarity suddenly when passed through a strong magnetic field. This is known as the Wiegand effect, named after the inventor John R. Wiegand.

Named Card Deck

When you’re looking to perform card magic, it’s important to find a deck that will work well for you. You want cards that are durable and easy to use for both shuffling and performing tricks.

One of the best options is the named card deck. These are printed on poker sized playing card stock and come with a standard card case.

These are a great choice for magicians who prefer the old-time look of Bicycle cards. They’re a bit thicker and more sturdy than some other choices, but they’re still very easy to handle for both shuffling and performance.

This deck is ideal for performing the mental telepathy effect where you name an unseen card. You’ll also be able to do the Zig Zag card effect, which is an excellent baffling close-up routine that doesn’t require pocket cards or flaps! It’s a great addition to any magician’s repertoire! Whether you’re just starting out or an experienced professional, this is the perfect deck for you.

Marked Deck

A marked deck is a deck of cards that has secret markings on the back. These markings can be used for magic and poker tricks.

Marked decks have a long history. Some of the oldest marked decks were made by bending cards or using needles and nails to make marks on the back.

Today, marked decks are a criminally overlooked card magic weapon. Many magicians worry that they might get caught using them, and this is understandable.

In reality, this is not a big deal at all. In fact, if you manage your audience well, they will not even suspect that you are using a marked deck.

If you’re looking for a quality marked deck, you can’t go wrong with a Bicycle-branded deck, which is available in either Maiden or Mandolin back design. These are all printed on Elite Stock, which is a great choice for marked decks as it offers perfect flexibility and smooth handling.
