Marked playing cards and
which playing cards is the best It is tough to choose which marked playing
cards you will use for luminous
ink. Will it be the brand that gets you or will it be the design on the back.
One thing is for sure. You cannot buy the cheap dollar store playing cards. The
playing cards must be professional cards and have the special material that
most cards are made of. You can feel the back of the cards to tell if they are
the right ones. If it is smooth and no grooves are felt then the cards are
cheap and cannot be used (do to the luminous ink --luminous contact lenses cannot filter through the material and
"burn" into the card). If the card has grooves and feels real then
they can be used with luminous ink.
You must make sure that the marked cards you
use are the red backed playing cards. There are some luminous inks that can
read blue back cards, but they are much harder to read. Once you have that down
then move on to the design. Will it be the bicycle type of card or will it be
the diagonal type of design? We always found that the diagonal type of design
is best to use.
After you choose your preferred design, choose your brand. Usually brands will have a special design so the questioins intertwine in a way that they most likely will be answered together. Once you have your favorite always pick this type of card so that there are no differences.
