Understanding Infrared Marked Playing Cards

What Are Infrared Marked Playing Cards?

Infrared marked playing cards are poker cards with invisible markings on poker cards printed in infrared ink, visible only through infrared contact lenses and glasses. These markings, such as suits or numbers, enable magicians to perform tricks like card reveals and predictions. We add precise invisible ink cards to standard decks like Bicycle and Copag, ensuring they appear normal while empowering performers with hidden information for magic performance cards.

Why Magicians Choose Infrared Cards

Infrared poker cards are prized for their subtlety and portability. Unlike barcode marked cards, which require analyzers, infrared marked decks need only lenses, ideal for stage or close-up magic. Our infrared marked playing cards feature intricate designs to conceal markings. This ensures audiences see a standard deck, maintaining the illusion’s integrity.

Essential Equipment for Magic with Infrared Cards

Choosing the Right Deck

Selecting high-quality infrared marked playing cards is key to flawless performances. We apply marked deck technology to durable plastic decks like Bicycle and Copag, ensuring smooth handling and longevity. GPT Marked Cards delivers infrared marked decks with precise markings visible only under infrared light (700-1100 nm). Opt for familiar designs, like Bicycle’s Rider Back, to blend seamlessly into magic performance cards.

Using Infrared Contact Lenses

Setting up infrared contact lenses for magic shows is essential. These lenses detect invisible markings on poker cards without altering your appearance. We provide comfortable infrared contact lenses designed for extended wear, with clear setup instructions. Practice inserting lenses and reading markings quickly before performances. Clean lenses with approved solutions to ensure clarity, enhancing your infrared poker cards’ reliability.

Magic Tricks with Infrared Marked Cards

Basic Card Reveal Trick

A beginner-friendly magic trick with infrared marked cards is the card reveal:

1. Setup: Use our infrared marked playing cards and wear infrared contact lenses. Shuffle the deck naturally, inviting audience inspection.
2. Selection: Have a spectator pick a card and return it. Identify the invisible markings on poker cards (e.g., King of Clubs) with lenses.
3. Reveal: Spread the deck face-down, locate the marked card, and reveal it with a flourish, like flipping it dramatically.

Practice ensures infrared marked playing cards for magic performances create convincing illusions.

Advanced Prediction Trick

For a sophisticated magic trick with infrared marked cards, try a prediction trick:

1. Preparation: Pre-show, note a card’s markings (e.g., Ten of Diamonds) using our infrared marked decks. Write its identity in a sealed envelope as your “prediction.”
2. Performance: Let a spectator shuffle and cut the deck. Track the marked card with infrared contact lenses and force it (e.g., via a riffle force).
3. Climax: Open the envelope to show the prediction matches the chosen card, wowing the audience.

Tips for Seamless Performances

• Practice: Rehearse with our infrared marked playing cards to read markings confidently.
