    My favorite marked deck is Red Keepers! Too easy to read yet hidden well in the back design. Love the deck not just because of the marking but also the handling of the cards..

    Hey, I am the amputee Stormtrooper! Wow! I have actually never won anything unless you count that time at the carnival where I paid 30 dollars to throw baseballs at a bunch of bottles and ended up with a small Guns and Roses mirror with a cardboard frame! Speech, speech! First I would like to thank my family for putting up with my card collecting and practicing magic. Second I stick my tongue out at everyone who said it would never amount to anything. Ha! Look at me now! 😉
    Third..... Okay, I'll shut up.
    Really though, that's awesome! Thanks brother!
    My favorite marked deck so far is Mirage. Great simply designed deck that still offers that custom feel and the marking system is easy to remember, fast and darn near impossible for anyone who doesn't know the system to find the markings. It's just an all around great deck of marked cards. Thanks again and thanks for another great review! This is the #1 channel for playing card reviews!

    Favourite marked deck has gotta be the red bikes I marked myself. You just can't go past them being so standard and humble looking that it really diverts the focus of any skepticism to me. Would love to try out the DMC's thought!!!

      Definitely in my top 3. I also love Madison Dealers, but wish they had an unmarked variant. The marked Split Spades (black deck) hold a special place as my first marked deck, and being the easiest to read, as well as just being instantly classic as most of Stutzman's work is.

    Hello! Totally new to this channel. Subbed and liked because the content was good, not because of the contest. I look forward to new content and catching up on some old. My favorite marked/reader deck is Luke Jeramy’s Marksman deck. It simply gives you so much information but is extremely bold, if not downright dangerous. Have a good one, man!

  • @RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal
    @RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal 6 років тому

    Good morning Gentleman Wake, another excellent review with plenty of info without spoilers ... I come from the school of "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" ... so while I rarely use a marked deck the one I will use is the standard Bicycle marked deck and after years of use the marking actually looks (to me) larger than the card back itself ... this close to the mark (in case we miss each others), wishing you and all your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving ... as always thank you for sharing

  • @Kazekage678
    @Kazekage678 6 років тому

    Definitely my favorite marked deck are the Knights, by Ramsay e Madison, not just for the marking, but specially for the astonishing beauty in itself. Great video, and though I've been missing comments for some time now, I'm always here enjoying your content :)

  • @johncantillo9425

    I love the butterfly playing cards. Because of the simple yet awesome butterfly logo in the back design that and the lining of the design that is freaking cool 🔥

  • @stanleyzhou
    @stanleyzhou 6 років тому +3

    My favorite marked deck is butterfly v2. The true linen b9 finish handles phenomenally, and the system is just beyond words. I'm not even going to talk about the intricate marking system, since whatever I say will be an insult.

  • @malachiburford7358
    @malachiburford7358 6 років тому

    Great video GentleManWake! My favourite marked deck would be the NOCs. This is because they are marked for suits, meaning i can separate the cards while they are face down. And thanks again for making a great video!

  • @oliverclements9818

  • @ziggyengels8687
    @ziggyengels8687 6 років тому

    my fav deck is either the dmc elites themselves or the 1800 vintage bicycles, i have loved the marking system ever since my mate showed me it and its been on my wishlist ever since. When it comes to the 1800's I think the markings are very subtile as they look a lot like regular bicycles.

    I don't have a favourite marked deck because I don't use the markings yet. I'm still trying to learn some sleight of hand first. Maybe then I'll dig into the keepers, dealers, knights, or butterflies.

  • @jacobbowder5077
    @jacobbowder5077 6 років тому

    I'd have to say my favorite marked deck that I currently own is the Super NOCs. The Superman theme is amazing and The marking system is simple enough yet hard to find if you don't know about it. The deck that is marked that I'd like to get is the Knights by Ramsay and Madison, I've watched Ramsay's video on the marking system and it seems really intuitive to figure out. Thanks for the great videos Gentleman Wake! Can't wait for more!

    My favorite marked deck is literally any NOC deck by Alex Pandrea, the markings are hard to spot but that's also positive, it is also only marked for suits but still great for some effects. The back of the cards is just so unsuspecting that the markings are just perfect. I also love this deck, it just looks perfect XD Fun fact: DMC actually got me into magic!

  • @ddyoder
    @ddyoder 6 років тому

    Favorite marked deck for me is the Brooklyn Playing Cards, Brooklyn 101 Back -- easy to decipher once you know the system but almost imperceptible to others. I like that even from medium/far distance they are legible but since they're not reader backs I don't fear spectators catching on.

  • @SergioGeralnik

  • @docbuglove9029
    @docbuglove9029 6 років тому

    As far as 'marked' decks, I can't say as I've had anything but a NOC deck as an adult, and that is only recently. I got the purple deck and the system is a little muddied on them with that color. A question for you though, do you ever return to re-review decks after having used them a bit? Basically curious on handling and wear and tear on decks. Thanks, and great review. I'm actually circling this deck currently.

  • @luka6257

  • @swyftty2
    @swyftty2 6 років тому +1

    The maiden back decks are the least suspicious looking, however the butterfly decks are intricate to enough to hide they're marking system on top of it I hear that they have a marking system that is more detailed than others. So I think the butterflies hit my top list, another deck with a seemingly obvious marking pattern would be Chris Ramsey Knights. Cheers to maybe examining this deck as well now, I have seen multiple reviews of this deck and the previous one in the series and despite knowing that it is a marked deck I cannot decipher offhand what the cards are that I am looking at.

    • @elboogie2324
      @elboogie2324 6 років тому

      Their marking system.
      I have the Butterfly Playing Cards, and their marking system is amazing. It has a learning curve, but if you get the book "The Secret of the Butterflies" it explains it all. The DMC's are easy to read, and have improved the system with a one-way design incorporated into it as well. It's my second favorite deck, next to the Maiden Backs.

  • @amyscarbalis6088
    @amyscarbalis6088 6 років тому

    I think Mint was really clever in using a simple optical illusion to mark the deck; but my favorite still has to be the classic and recognizable, yet innocently inconspicuous Bicycle Maiden back deck :)

  • @furrukhjamal00
    @furrukhjamal00 6 років тому

    Another great review. Seems like the marking system is just like the FedEx logo, where when once you see the arrow you can't unsee it.
    My favorite marked deck is the butterfly playing cards by Ondrej Psenicka. If you didn't know abt this deck I strongly recommend you to have a look. You always show that you are not a skilled magician. With the butterfly deck you too could become like a ninja in card sleights

  • @bradbailey3235

    My only experience with a marked deck is the red keepers, but I also get nervous when using them because I think people would be able to read the Markings as it is literally just printed near the corner. I've been wanting to find something more discreet, hoping to win this deck for that reason

    I don't have much experience with marked decks, having only one in my collection, but I think the butterfly's are amongst the most beautiful out there (not the ones I own so I don't know the marking system). I'm completely interested in these ones though, and am having a tough time deciding if my next marked deck should be these DMC Elites, or the aforementioned Butterfly's.

  • @FastForward352
    @FastForward352 6 років тому

    I love David Blaine's Black Lions marking system...at least for the card color. My old eyes have a really hard time reading the value. So my favourite easy-to-read marked deck is the Bicycle Series 1800.

    KNIGHTS Playing Cards by Daniel Madison and Chris Ramsay. The back design uses the tiny chess pieces as the marking system, and the broken border back gives the deck a luxurious yet playful touch.

  • @orangemoney52

    @user-pi3ig2ph8r 6 років тому

    Great video. Interesting to see the change to a 1 way design.
    I'm lazy so I'm not a huge fan of marked decks like Black lines or the Enigma deck. Seriously, the Enigma deck must be named after the code be sure deciphering it requires being a mathematician.
    I do like the penguin marked deck although it's a reader deck and I worry about people seeing the markings. I don't know why, they don't really look at the back of the cards anyway.
