Brent Braun’s ridiculous exposé of real-time card marking is surprising, funny, and crazy, and has been in his back pocket for over a decade, so you know it’s good.

This packet trick comes with all the gaffs you need, showing your audience “het echte werk” how cheaters operate.

In this well-structured routine, the magician removes the four aces from a red deck of cards while describing a special type of marking system where you can rub lipstick on the backs of the cards to recognize them. When showing the cards, one of them magically turns pink.

The performer then explains how you can also use the ink from your blue jeans to mark the cards, and now the back of one of the cards has turned blue. Next, a physical marking system called “nail nicking” is demonstrated, and the third card has not only turned green but is missing a huge corner. For the finale, the magician proves that the last card is absolutely unmarked by transforming a normal card into one with bold letters that read: “Definitely Not Marked.”. Best of all, at the end you can let your audience inspect the cards.

In addition to the routine, Brent teaches you how to start the trick with a deck of playing cards and end cleanly, so everything can be examined. The clever ending is so deceptive that he’s been fooling magicians with it at conventions for years. You’re sure to get great reactions with Definitely Not Marked.
