BLOOD

Sleight of Hand expert and Gambling aficionado, Daniel Madison, has graciously complied a beautiful ‘how to’ PDF booklet on marked decks. Did we mention it’s FREE!

Having cataloged my anthology of discoveries in close-up deception for the freshly released book INSIDE to both end a career in the world of magic and begin a journey deeper into the world of crooked gambling and modern deceptions, I wanted to set free what I feel is my most valuable offering and study on close up deception (in magic and gambling.) A book which uses simplicity to offer complexities, dear to the card cheat, priceless to the magician.

The marked deck is often referred to as ‘the weapon of choice for the amateur card cheat.’ In many ways I agree as all required is the ability to read the marked cards with invisibility and deftness, more experienced cheats find the risks of detection too high and also resort to safer, or more reliable methods in the field. However, this should not dent the potential of marked cards; especially when used in ‘friendly’ games or for magic, after all, learning the identity of a selected card before revelation offers the answer to over 90% of magic tricks.

That being said, and in short fashion I offer you this book, free of charge to offer a spark in your deceptive conscious.
