Full Details

The Landmark Deck is the third in Infiniti’s series, following the Celebrity Deck and Dead Famous Deck. Each card is marked with an optical marking system that reveals both the card’s value and the landmark it represents. The markings are subtle enough to remain undetectable to spectators but become obvious once the system is learned.

The deck includes:

  • 54 cards (including Jokers) with fully marked backs.
  • A world map card for geographical-themed presentations.
  • Bonus cards (a double backer and additional landmark cards) for expanded routines.

Landmarks are categorized by suit:

  • Spades: UK landmarks
  • Clubs: Mainland Europe landmarks
  • Diamonds: North American landmarks
  • Hearts: The rest of the world

Who Should Consider the Trick

This deck is ideal for:

  • Magicians who perform mentalism or prediction routines.
  • Performers who want a visually engaging prop with built-in storytelling potential.
  • Those who appreciate high-quality, marked decks for versatile performances.

Difficulty

The Landmark Deck is easy to use once the marking system is understood. The optical markings require minimal practice to recognize quickly. The deck is suitable for beginners but offers enough depth for advanced performers to create layered routines.

What Magicians Say

Mark Traverson of Saturn Magic praised the deck, saying:
"Once you know the marking system, you swear everyone can see it—but they don’t. At Blackpool, people couldn’t spot it even when guided. The deck’s quality is fantastic, and the landmark theme opens up creative presentation options."

He also highlighted a clever routine where a triple prediction matched the landmarks on the box, adding an extra layer of impossibility.

The Landmark Deck is a practical, visually striking tool that enhances any magician’s repertoire with minimal effort.
