A Marked Deck (or Reader Deck) is a Mechanical Deck that has an extremely subtle mark on the decorative side of the cards. Usually the mark is placed in a certain position to indicate the number of the card and another mark with a certain color or shape to indicate suit. The magician can show the card to the audience and can read the number and suit from the back of the card.
