This one is great.
The person that you're scamming could notice there are no jokers in the deck, thus possibly tampered (if you present this as a new deck). Could mark them with the fifth marking on the wave, though. If the deck has a black and a red joker, you could show this by marking the center of the circle.

Somebody try this trick during a poker game. I want to know how likely it is to get caught and get your ass kicked after doing this.

Good scam though.

But it wasn't wrong. One beer IS the price for everything the BBliveshow.

Especially epic fails.

I'm just curious. The brand new box? HOW? how did you manage to make it look like it came from a brand new box?

This was a nice one. You normally see marked decks for sale but this is awsome. I'm curious to see how the red ink looks on the card compared to the red already there.

I would also like to see if they could pass the scrutiny of an actual poker game. Cuz if you get caught, you're getting your ass kicked. Even with friends.

I've seen the stickers for the flaps of the cards for sale at card trick sites such as Ellusionist. Otherwise, I would probably try to first peel the sticker off the box slowly to try and preserve it. Reapply it once the deck is marked. It will be a little sloppy, but then again, it was Brian that opened the deck of cards, not the doc. So it wouldn't need to pass close scrutiny. Just as long as the mark thought you were opening a new deck.

great show!!!

he had two decks of cards, so i think he just opened the new (unmarked deck) then put it to the side and talked for a bit and then just picked up the deck that was already open (marked deck). sounds a bit to simple but thats what i would do.

I'm sure if your careful when you open a deck of cards then you can probably re seal them with some heat to get the plastic back on..


I was so excited after this trick i rushed to my drawer full of cards, and was sad when i found that none of them have the correct backing lol. Now i totally have to go buy a new deck of cards.
