u can get boris wild marked deck, or juice decks. These 2 should be the better of marked decks.

alternatively, you can learn to mark decks yourself.

boris wild marked deck is good. Spectators will not detect it. I've only been caught once, and that was because someone secretly took my cards and examined them side-by-side, upclose when I was not paying attention. Even then, I was surprise he detected any difference between the cards. Kind of rude behaviour from a heckler friend. It's relatively easy for you to read if you know where to look. Good for use as a back-up if any of your tricks go wrong and you need a last minute cover up. Turns your mistakes into a mentalism act by reading their minds.

However, I still prefer to use unmarked decks. There are ways to name a card without looking directly at it or using a marked deck. For example, using certain numbering systems.

Mark my own decks? Is there a dvd or book or some teaching material that teaches the various ways of marking a deck?

Hey, no need to check any books or Dvds for that!

I made my own deck and nobody (I mean, nobody!) has ever see through the secret so far! I showed it to jerome once, and (I think) he was quite thrilled by it. It's very very low cost compared to getting a Boris deck.

Yes, it will be better to mark your own decks, its cheaper. But the ability to mark the decks. It will always be better to look at decks that are alreadi marked.

Observe the marking systems, then slowly, think of your own.

Yes Bro, I was definitely Thrilled! That was the 1st time I saw a marked deck (call me mountain tortise haha :lol: ) and I have to say the way you marked it was ingenious. I remember staring at it and against the light reflection and I still did'nt spot anything. Heads up to you man. Hey bro, you shd try selling your Marking system haha... :lol:

I agree with Axl and Larry that you should observe how cards are marked and come out with your own system. This is because with your own marking system, you'll be very familiar from the creation till the birth of the deck. Besides being cheaper, I have to say that the sense of accomplishment from marking your own deck is much greater than memorising a regular marked deck.
