The Butterfly Marked Bicycle Cards are a close-up magic deck that looks like a standard Bicycle deck to spectators but contains hidden marks allowing the magician to identify any card. The deck includes two gaff cards: a double backer and an extra queen of hearts with a five of spades reveal. It features a one-way mark on both faces and backs, with a coded system for identifying suits and numbers from any angle. The deck is made with high-quality crushed retail stock and shuffles smoothly right out of the box.
