The DMC rouge deck has revived my interest in marked deck possibilities. I've had Boris Wild 3 DVD set for several years and never touched it. So I started in on them, great.
There's is some really good stuff, like 'Miracle and Pure telepathy. I'm using DMC decks as they make life so easy. Any recommendations to play around with? |

Charles Kirk book, can't recall the title. Ted Lesley also has a couple of dynamite effects using a MD.

Looch's effect Tracker is *perfect* for the marked deck, it just pushes it over the edge from magic to miracle.
IMO the real secret to the marked deck isn't any one effect, but the incredible level of top-down control it gives you in your normal performance - so much harder for things to go south. Phill

Hi. Are you referring to the same effect as: "ACAAN Almost"? If you mean ACAAN Almost, it is taught (it is a very easy effect technically) in the "A Life in Magic Vol.3" DVD, or in the "Special Effects" Book: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S12055 |

Looch performs and teaches it in his second Penguin Lecture, I think it is the first effect he performs. Tracker is a damm good effect, not sure how a MD would help though except as a kinda guarentee that you have the right card in play?
Be excellent to each other, especially me.

I've never used a marked deck, but I just won a DMC (Rouge?) from MagicSeen magazine, just waiting for the mailman to deliver.
Thanks for this thread, now I have some research to do. Dave |

I combine a marked deck with a memorized deck stack = killer combination.
Check out this incredible marked deck: http://www.stevegore.co.uk/steve-gore-shop.html "The GPS deck aka the Regatta Deck, is a groundbreaking deck which utilises a worlds first cunning unique marking system which means you can get the spectator to shuffle the deck, name any card, and then locate their card in a few seconds without spreading the deck.
