Whatever the reason, Card Tricks are an essential part of any Magician's performance. Some require difficult sleight-of-hand techniques, most just need you to distract your audience while you 'do the deed', many can be done in full view. A few need gimmicked decks or pre-prepared decks in order to work.

The marked deck is a rarity these days; after all, who needs to remember 52 different secret markings, all small enough to go unnoticed by the audience?
