Hello, I recently bought several books on card magic, and the seller nicely added a few bicycle decks for free on the deal. Several of them have letters/signs on the side lids on the box:
- Q and H (one letter on each lid) o a 808 yellow back deck - 3 and club sign (one on each lid) on several colored decks I have searched the web looking for an explanation, but could not find anything. What do these letters/signs mean? I can add pictures if my question is not clear, but I hope someone will have an answer based on this description. Thanks in advance for any light you can bring to my blurred mind. ;o)

Often, when magicians have decks set up for a particular trick, they will put some mark on the box or the inside flaps so they can take a glance and know what trick the deck is set up for. Sounds like that's what you've got going on here.

But these are printed on the lids, looks like the letters were there when initially bought. Sorry, I should have mentioned that

Well I don't know why, but you can use them for example in a prediction trick (3 of clubs). I remember having something similar on few decks.

Even the Bicycle logo if you turned it a certain way would look like the 3 of clubs. It just adds to some additional reveal surprises. I'm going to look for that box now. I know I have it somewhere.
