Bicycle Maiden Back Marked Playing Cards – Poker Size Deck with Red or Blue Backs
These Bicycle Maiden Back playing cards are a poker-sized deck with a marked back design, printed by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC) on their air-cushion finish. Available in either red or blue, the deck is built for magicians who want a reliable, readable marking system that stays hidden during performance. An online instruction is included to help you get started.
Why a Marked Deck Matters for Card Magic
Top magicians rely on marked decks because they add a layer of certainty to any routine. The marks on these Bicycle Maiden Back cards are intentionally larger and more visible than typical marked decks, yet they are organically hidden within the back design. This means you can read them quickly without staring—the most common way magicians get caught. Because the marks are so naturally integrated, you can handle the deck roughly: sign cards, tear them up, throw them around—just like any cheap deck you'd practice with.

How the Marks Stay Hidden
The key to any good marked deck is that the audience never suspects the cards are marked. These Bicycle Maiden Back cards achieve that by embedding the marks in the ornamental pattern so they don't stand out. As long as you avoid staring at the marks during a trick, no spectator will notice them. This frees you to perform confidently, knowing you have the information you need without obvious pauses.
