2. What Are Marked Cards?

Card marking is the process of altering playing cards in a method only apparent to markers and those who have the special devices to detect them. This may be used for magic tricks. To be effective, the distinguishing mark or marks must be done on the obverse side, which are normally uniform. Card marking can sometimes also be called as card bending; it is considered to be the easiest way to mark probably. Marked cards can be used regardless of who shuffles and deals the cards. However, some more sophisticated marked-cards scams involve additional manipulative skills to steer the cards into the correct positions once the desired cards have been identified.

3. Shade technologies

Luminous marked cards - These can only be read by using special gimmicked sunglasses or by wearing special contact lenses. The original luminous systems used red lenses and greenish ink on the back of red cards. New luminous technology, called Ultra-Luminous, uses far more sophisticated techniques that are based upon different chemical and optical scientific principles than the original luminous systems.

Barcode Marked Cards for Poker Scanning Systems
1. What is barcode marked cards?

As its name suggests, barcode marked cards are those cards processed with barcodes by the sides. Unlike luminous marked cards for the lenses, which tell you the numbers and the suits on the back of the playing cards, barcode marked cards are used in poker scanning systems. PS: Marked playing cards can be customized here in Golden Sunshine. You can have your card decks marked in your own way. All you need to do is contact us and tell us your requirements.

2. How does it work in the scanning system?

Usually, a scanning system includes a host machine (it may be a Nokia phone or an Iphone), a scanning camera (it can be a lighter, a normal mobile phone, a watch and a chip tray), a deck of barcode marked cards and a very small ear-piece(it is for testing). When the camera is on, it can scan the barcodes by the sides of the decks, and the results will be transferred to the host machine of the scanning system. The host machine will analyze the data that the barcodes carry at incredibly high speed, and then tell you the results of the poker games within 0.5 seconds before the flopping of the cards.
