Have you got a reference for a marking system that shows you the suit and value and just uses pencil dots?

Thanks

Could you reveal what method you're talking about?

Unfortunatly the one I am talking about is a marketed item so no, I can not reveal the method. I believe it is called the ultimate Marked deck but I cannot swear to it. One of those things you buy once, you don't believe it would work when you see what it is. Then you try it, then you slap yourself for wondering why you thought life was so hard, then you make the entire thing up yourself.

That is a great deck. Expensive, though.

thanks for all the replies. There really are so many places you can hide little marks on bicycle decks. The one I made is not easy to see at a glance admittedly, but it's useful if you're doing a 3 card monte or something like that. I was just experimenting really, no particular usage in mind for it.

Thanks again for all the feedback though, really appreciated
