Topic: Marked

Marked cards allow the magician to identify a card from its back or edge. Sometimes only certain cards are marked, other times each and every card is marked and identifiable. Sometimes, the marking is tactile rather than visual. For example, a stripper deck is a form of tactile marking where a certain group of cards can be separated from the others by feel. Long and short cards of various kinds are another version of tactile marking. A more sophisticated form of tactile marking is a punched deck.

We also include peek devices here with marked cards because they serve a similar purpose: to secretly identify a card.

The Art of the Grafter: a pitchman guide to selling

Walt Lees
The Art of the Grafter: a pitchman guide to selling by Walt Lees...
read, giving me insight into a branch of magic I knew nothing about. Most important to me was that the book quickly extinguished any notion I had about making my first million dollars selling packs of gaffed cards.

I guess I won't be quitting my day job anytime soon.

*Grafters (along with Punch & Judy performers and Hurdy-Gurdy men) seem to be a strictly British phenomenon. Here in America, our version is the fast-talking television infomercial pitchman like Billy Mays, who made his fortune hawking pretty much anything that sliced, diced, and julienned vegetables.

Holes

Holes by Dave Forrest

  • On Holemeal - A super visual sandwich! A signed card which was lost into the center of the deck suddenly appears between two blank cards, one of which has a hole in it, as they are waved over the deck. The spectator actually sees their card arrive through the hole! Extremely visual. Easy to do. Resets automatically. Special cards included.

Holy Hofzinser

Cameron Francis
Holy Hofzinser by Cameron Francis

A stunning new packet effect by Cameron Francis.

Effect:

A card is selected and lost in the deck, we'll say it's the Six of Diamonds. The magician introduces a packet of four cards. Each card has one hole punched through it. The cards are flipped face up and are seen to be the four Aces. "The Aces are going to tell us the suit and value of the card you selected. First they'll tell us the suit."

The magician gives the packet a twist. He spreads the cards and one of the Aces is now face down. The Ace of Diamonds. "This tells me that the card you picked was a Diamond!" The magician then...

The Gift 2

Unnamed Magician
The Gift 2 by Unnamed Magician... to perform it.

Below, there is a full performance video by my friend, but here are some conditions to keep in mind before you watch it:

  • The deck doesn't contain any tactile markings whatsoever. So there are no short cards, no crimped/bent cards, no punched cards, etc. Each and every single card physically feels the same - you can't differentiate one card from another based on touch. There are also no back markings or edge markings. That said, the deck may (or may not) be gaffed or gimmicked in some other way - so perhaps it's a regular deck, but perhaps it isn't. That is left open for...

S. W. Erdnase... & Co., R. R. Donnelley and James McKinney & Co, as well as his own startup companies which included the rather short lived newspaper Payne Weekly People founded in 1889 during the boom in Fort Payne, AL, and a most surprising stint at the circus where he worked as orator (door talker), had a Punch & Judy and magic act, and later even worked as side-show manager. In 1924 he founded the School for Print Estimating in Chicago. He would eventually publish his own textbooks on print estimating in 1927 and 1929.

His remarkable writing ability is clearly seen in the various books he authored, either under his real name, under pseudonyms, or for larger corporations without any author specified....
