Effect

The Night Flight Marked Cards allow a magician to secretly identify any card in the deck while performing. The markings are subtle and hidden in the design, making them undetectable to spectators. The deck looks like a normal set of playing cards, but the magician can instantly know the identity of any card by glancing at the back.

Full details

The Night Flight Marked Cards are designed for magicians and mentalists who need a reliable marked deck. The markings are easy to read but well-hidden, making them practical for performances. The cards use Italian stock, which provides a smooth handling experience. The deck is available in standard colors, with a gaff deck (including double-backers and other utility cards) coming soon.

A new thin misindex version is also available, which is half the thickness of a normal card. This makes it useful for tricks like Colossal Killer and Wave, as well as for hiding in wallets like the Shadow Wallet.

Who should consider the trick

This deck is ideal for:

Mentalists who want a marked deck for one-ahead routines or readings.
Card magicians who need a reliable marked deck for various effects.
Performers who prefer subtle markings that won’t be noticed by spectators.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The markings are designed to be easy to read with minimal practice. Since the deck handles like a standard deck, magicians familiar with card work will find it straightforward to use. The thin misindex cards may require slight adjustments in handling due to their reduced thickness.

What magicians say

Mentalistonashoestring praises the Night Flight Marked Cards, calling them "perfect for mentalism" and "brilliant for getting one ahead." They highlight the deck's reliability, saying, "I always find no mess, no fuss, and they do the job." They also mention the upcoming gaff deck and thin misindex cards as useful additions for magicians.

The reviewer notes that Steve Della continuously improves the deck, tweaking each batch for better performance. They suggest that a darker back design could be useful for certain mentalism effects but still consider the current version highly effective.

Overall, the Night Flight Marked Cards are a well-regarded tool among magicians for their practicality and hidden markings.
