I'm new to card collecting. I got some decks that I never knew were marked and when I found out, it got me thinking that there are a lot of other marked decks that I don't know about. What are some of the popular decks (Ellusionist, Theory 11, Dan & Dave etc) that are marked that many people don't know about? I read that "Ellusionist decks come with an extremely well-hidden one-way marking" and I am very intrigued.
The only decks I know of that are marked are
Madison Dealers
Madison Players
Vintage 1800s (v2 that specifically say marked)
NOC decks
One of the Mana decks by Erik Mana
and I just learned the Legends PCC Sharps decks are shaded marked or something? Can't find much information on that
is there a more comprehensive list somewhere? Can anyone shed some light on other marked decks, and how the Sharps marking works? Thank you!

Re: Marked decks
Kings playing cards from Ellusionst are marked as well, the first ones that came in the gold box.
One-way marking just means you can tell if 1 card has been turned around as part of the back design isn't symmetrical, Phoenix cards are like this, also Madison Hustlers have thinner borders on 1 side for a one-way system.
You can get Bicycle marked decks or make your own.
I've heard David Blaine White Lions are marked but not sure which version, maybe just the original.

Re: Marked decks
LOL. A great way to teach the multitudes of people who can't read binary! You know what they say.... "There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who can read binary and those who can't"ecNate wrote:Legends Egyptian are also marked in binary on ribs and claws.

Re: Marked decks (wap)
You can also Google the instructions to mark a deck of bicycle rider backs. Very simple to mark.

Re: Marked decks
Original Legends (the ones available in red, blue & jade green) are perhaps the easiest easily available ones to learn, I suppose. As always, your mileage will vary. I am told Legends v2 are not, and wasn't aware that Egyptian were. Odd, seems like I would have heard, then again I have never opened a deck and looked.
There are also classic marked decks, like Theodore DeLand "clockwork" method, made almost 100 years ago. Those are usually available from magic shops (reprints, by S S Adams, anyway) at a reasonable price. Usually sold under the name "Automatic" and "Hundred Dollar", although there are several version with various marking systems and names by DeLand.
