  • Bicycle Cards Are Marked

    From olivia.kim@online.island.edu.hk@21:1/5 to Jonathan on Thu Dec 17 05:39:49 2015
    My brother actually bought a pack of the cards and inside the pack theres an extra card with a link and it says if you want to find out how to tell what the card is from the markings in the back you can just visit the link. I personally don't know the
    link or how to tell what the cards are but my brother does and I've tested him on it.

    My dad was a professional bowler and gambler. In the 60s at a tour stop in the paddock was always a card game. They would not use Hoyle or bicycle decks because several including my dad that could read them.
    I have gone to the store bought a deck shuffled them and he could read the top card.
    As he got older he had trouble with the suit and a little trouble with with face cards if he was not wearing his glasses.
    He took the secret to his grave because he promised his friend that he would never teach anyone.
    I really do not care who believes this and I do not if they still are.
    He only played gin so he knew what the other had

    Try this on for size. Buy a brand new deck of cards at any store of your choice comma any brand comma and shuffle them while they're Peter is out of the room. Have the reader come back in the room and read all 52 cards plus Jokers with nothing but the
    design side facing him. I have seen someone do this hundreds of times even with decks brought from someone's house the next day so you know he's trying to disprove this guy's ability. This happened in 1969 and 1970 I knew the man for a number of years
    comma he told me all decks were Mark kind of like the 3D pictures that we now have back then we didn't call them that. I know you probably don't believe this, I really don't care, I know this for a fact. I am a natural born skeptic and at the time I was
    in science classes at a college and we tried every trick or every method we could think of to make sure that he had no access to any of the cards ahead of time. We could even bring a stranger in with their dad from home like I said earlier and he could
    read those you could even have 3 different people handle the decks none of them knowing one another and he could still read them. That's why I don't play cards.

    Speaking as a working magician................ I can confirm that a pack of Bicycle cards purchased from a mainstream store ARE NOT MARKED in any way. I can neither confirm or deny that magicians can but marked versions.

    They may not be now. As late as 1993 I watched my dad read bicycle and Hoyle decks straight out of the pack after they were shuffled.
    He would travel on trains hustling. He would only play gin. That way he knew what the other player had. This is how he made his living.
    He was taught by another professional bowler and he took it to his grave.
    I have sat for hours with a magnifying glass and studied and could not find it.

    Not only the Bicycle playing cards, other playing cards such as Bee, Copag, Modiano playing cards can also be marked.
    These playing cards can be marked with secret code marks for naked eyes to see. And more these playing cards can be marked with invisible ink marks for infrared contact lenses to see. They are not any secret now.
    They are easily found online. www.salemarkedcards.com is one of such sites to sell marked playing cards.

    Bicycle marked cards can be used by magicians in the magic shows. There are invisible ink marks on the back of Bicycle poker cards, you can see it while wearing infrared contact lenses and sunglasses.(http://www.markedcardscontactlenses.com/magic-bicycle-

    There are certain decks that indeed are marked such as the Lion Collection by David Blaine or the Ghost Collection by Ellusionist.However if you are talking about the Rider Backs/Seconds/Bees, no they are not marked. Every marked deck comes in with a
    tutorial on how to read the marks and is usually used for magic tricks, while a heck more expensive
