This deck features the fourth generation of the unique Optical Marking system, a powerful marking system designed specifically for the use of close up and cabaret performers (as opposed to the gambling origin of many systems). With an ingeniously hidden marking mechanic that is readable at great range, in poor light and with extreme speed, the system has been significantly refined over the last few years of development since it was first created. Each deck also now comes with a pictorial instruction card that explains the markings visually, without words, for international use – a significant design challenge in itself.

The system hides the value and suit of the playing card in plain sight, with no decoding necessary, no mental working out to do to process some binary signal – it literally just says the value and the suit, clearly and visibly, with an incredible range on it. All this incredible clarity and you can still comfortably hand the deck to a layman safe in the knowledge that even if they search for marks, they will still not find them. The DMC ELITES are the only deck on the market now with this unique system.

The deck has standard faces, a request previous generations with custom faces has occasionally drawn, and the finish is a completely new cardistry grade stock and finish: We intended the deck to be usable for all kinds of mystery performer and for this we needed a very special material. We consulted closely with Belgium’s Cartamundi, the world’s largest printer of playing cards, and they revealed to us their revolutionary No. 9 finish, developed in their material laboratory for their definitive cardistry deck, the Cardistry Touch deck. Every feature of the stock and finish has been carefully engineered, even down to the differential finish, which differs on the face and the back of every card. The cards are smooth to handle, precisely cut and have a deep tactile quality that allows easy precise control of the deck.

Everything about the deck has been crafted to make them super useable, from the sturdy minimalist box down to the deep red back colour to the card reveal hidden on the two custom Jokers. The DMC ELITES – the greatest marked deck in a generation and possibly the most useable deck for card mentalism available today.

The best marked deck available!

This is without a doubt the best marked deck available. The deck both feels and looks nice and the markings are really easy to spot once you know where to look. I'm blind in one eye and I can still read the marks even if the deck is on the table, or even in the participant's hands this deck is still easily read. Despite the markings being easy to read they are very well hidden, your participants will not see them at all. If you've been looking for the perfect marked deck for your routines then look no further, the DMC's are what you need!

Only deck I will use for paid performances

Quite simply this is the only deck I will use for paid performances.

The marking system is nothing short of ingenious. Once you know how it works you can't un-see it yet it remains invisible to spectators. The marks clearly show the value and the suit and are easily read at a good distance. Reading from a table is no problem at all.

A common way of spotting if a deck is marked is to riffle through the deck and see what changes, but these have been designed so that this doesn't even give the game away.

The cards themselves are a lovely stock and are easy to handle. I don't perform using a faro shuffle so wouldn't like to compare them to other decks.

The dark red cards and tuck box create an image of elegance and sophistication without appearing like a magic prop.

I really can't recommend them highly enough
