Card marking is the process of altering playing cards in a method only apparent to marker or conspirator, such as by bending or adding visible marks to a card. This allows different methods for card sharps to cheat or for magicians to perform magic tricks

My best secret about deck marking...

Most people want to mark a standard USPC deck in red or blue - and they're pretty much the same shades of red and blue.  The big exception would be Studs, but Studs are no longer in print, so not such a popular marked deck...

Most magicians know that for marking a red USPC deck, red Sharpies do a great job.  But the blue Sharpie was never quite a good enough match to the blue on the back of a Bicycle Rider Back or a Bee Diamond Back.  So what's a blue deck-lover supposed to do?

Well, it turns out that Sharpie recently branched out with some new colors, including navy - a near-perfect match for blue-backed USPC decks, closer than the original blue.

I'm still looking for the perfect white pen to match the color of white cardstock.  I know one magician has it down pat, but he's not giving up the secret just yet...  Curses...
