Available in either red or blue, the deck is built for magicians who want a reliable, readable marking system that stays hidden during performance. An online instruction is included to help you get started.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Marked Deck Matters for Card Magic\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTop magicians rely on marked decks because they add a layer of certainty to any routine. The marks on these Bicycle Maiden Back cards are intentionally larger and more visible than typical marked decks, yet they are organically hidden within the back design. This means you can read them quickly without staring—the most common way magicians get caught. Because the marks are so naturally integrated, you can handle the deck roughly: sign cards, tear them up, throw them around—just like any cheap deck you'd practice with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Get in the Deck\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoice of Red or Blue back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard poker-size cards (2.5 x 3.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSPCC's air-cushion finish for smooth shuffling and handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnline instruction guide included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCard Details at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBicycle Maiden Back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeck Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoker (standard)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCard Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir-Cushion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarked (Red or Blue)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States Playing Card Company (USPCC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOnline (included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the Marks Stay Hidden\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key to any good marked deck is that the audience never suspects the cards are marked. These Bicycle Maiden Back cards achieve that by embedding the marks in the ornamental pattern so they don't stand out. As long as you avoid staring at the marks during a trick, no spectator will notice them. This frees you to perform confidently, knowing you have the information you need without obvious pauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Buyer Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes these marked cards different from others?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe marks are designed to be larger and more readable than typical marked decks, yet they fit naturally into the artwork.
