Brent Braun’s hilarious expose on real-time card marking is both surprising and entertaining, having been a staple in his repertoire for over a decade. This packet trick includes all the necessary gimmicks to demonstrate to your audience “the real work” behind how cheaters succeed.
In this well-crafted routine, the magician removes four aces from a red deck while explaining a unique marking system that involves rubbing lipstick on the backs of the cards to identify them secretly. As he reveals the cards, one magically turns pink. He then illustrates how ink from blue jeans can be used to mark cards, transforming one card into blue. Next, a tactile marking technique known as nail nicking is showcased, resulting in a third card that not only turns green but also loses a significant corner. For the grand finale, the magician proves that the last card is definitely not marked by revealing it has changed from a red bicycle-backed card to one boldly stating, “Definitely Not Marked.” The best part is that you can allow your audience to examine the cards at the end.
Along with the routine, Brent teaches how to initiate the trick with a standard deck of playing cards and conclude cleanly, ensuring everything is examinable. This deceptive, squeaky clean ending has fooled magicians at conventions for years. Prepare for big reactions with Definitely Not Marked.
