All of these marked decks are genuine Bicycle decks printed in the USA by US Playing Card, available in blue or red, more or less expensive, with more or less visible marking on the back of each card.

Ideal for all the “chosen card found” tricks, this deck allows to avoid any forcing, control or eye card. This is what gives the game its strength because you can then have a natural gesture in the choice of the card, its loss in the game, etc. You give the appearance of total freedom and most often, everything you do yourself, the spectator can do it for you, which is particularly bluffing because you give the illusion that you cannot control anything. Which is not true, of course! Thus, one can present high impact routines without necessarily having a big technical background. But nothing prevents you from combining marking and technique to present visual routines such as productions, color changes, transpositions, etc.
