The ORIGINAL GT Speedreader is back and just as fast and stealthy as ever! Built exclusively for working magicians by Garrett Thomas, this is the ultimate deck of marked cards trusted by countless professional magicians around the world.

Based on a classic Ted Lesley concept, The GT Speedreader marking system was designed to take advantage of the ways both magicians AND layman examine cards. To the trained eye, this system is incredibly EASY to read and insanely EFFICIENT! You'll be able to start using these marked playing cards right out of the box! They can be read from dealer's grip, overhand grip or even when riffling for a spectator peek.

Yet, despite how obvious the markings might seem to you, we assure you that this is 100% UNDECTABLE by spectators. The marking system is invisible to the untrained eye and is concealed when the deck is spread, making it essentially impossible for your audience to see. To them, this looks and feels like an ordinary deck of cards.

In fact, many professionals who are familiar with marked decks were not able to detect the markings until they learned the GT Speedreader system. That means you may have seen someone perform magic with these and not even known it.

  • NO weird symbols or codes
  • NO cheat sheets
  • NO special equipment or stacks needed
  • 100% undetectable by spectators (even when the cards are spread)

Every GT Speedreader Marked Deck (Standard Version) is manufactured on superior quality stock by the USPCC with either a Red or Blue 809 Bicycle Mandolin Back.

Each deck also comes with a special marking instruction card and an exclusive marked double backer and set of Jokers.

GT Speedreaders are a professional quality marked deck that allow you to perform a variety of POWERFUL magic tricks for less than $15! An unbeatable value!

SPECIAL BONUS
As an added bonus to help you get started, you'll also receive FREE access to an online version of The Trick That Can't Be Explained from the GT Speedreader DVD (which features a ton of other amazing GT Speedreader routines)

Customer reviews for GT Speedreader Marked Deck (Standard Version)

Garry
Very disapointed with this deck. Its demonstrated in there video add, that by riffaling through this deck, that you can stop at any card, then reveall this card, The reader back mark at the top right is upside down, You can only read this deck at the bottom left hand side, Which isnt a naturall place to be looking either, so this is an expression giveaway, as in, cards are on the table, your eyes looking down at the mark bottom of the deck, so what does the spectator see, the top off your head, the mark are small, and marked as in suit and value, so you riffle and stop at an upside 5 of C, or a 6 of C, or is that a 9, hang on, umm umm, im just working out the mark, this deck is no good for a beginner. Also if you do a fan, you cant read the mark, due to the position off the mark, as they are blocked by the other cards by the fan, you are restricted on what you can do with this deck, Its a pointless deck If you want to use the marking system. And the trick that is explained that you get with this, can be done with a normall deck, if you no how.

My all time favorite marked deck. The marking is cleverly disguised, but easier to read than most. The genius is in the placement. Most people look for markings in the top left corners, if at all. My favorite thing about this deck is that I always know what card is where, even if I’m not doing a routine requiring a marking system.
Edward
I've been using the Ghost Deck for some effects, but the Bicycle deck is disarmingly mundane and fully examinable to the untrained eye. I love the easy read and look forward to future effects.
Edward
Sorry to jump in here with a second review. If some people think this deck has to be handled picture perfect as presented on the site, you will be disappointed. We have to think outside the box. In some baseball stadiums there's a picnic area beyond right and left field. We have to go past the picnic area and into the parking lot. Allowing the spectator(s) to be fully in charge of shuffling and cutting the deck after explaining the concept of marked decks will solidify the fact the deck is undetectable. After this you are only restricted in your own creative theatrics to reveal a card you've already known.
I've performed this for 8 people/4 couples and the result has always been WTF ?
Kris
I've got a ton of marked decks and have heard great reviews of these. I know that they were sold out for a long time and sought after by many so I picked up a couple. I'm not like super crazy about this deck. The marks are a little small and placed in a weird spot. They're hard to glimpse. Because the marks are so small I need to bring the cards somewhat close to my face. Spectators won't see the marks but you might not either. I did, after some work train my brain to spot the marks but it's still hard to catch them. Also, I don't like the way these cards feel. The edges are not smooth. They feel rough like paper. Not for me but a clever attempt to create a unique marking system.

Cards are amazing quality and get the job done!
Gerhard
Oh wow can't believe it took my so long to discover these. Have been buying umd and they are super expensive. These are really well priced and I bought a couple. The mandarin back is very close to the rider back in fact you could add rider gaffs and no one would be none the wiser. These are typical bicycle quality and handle really really well. So glad to have these, they are dynamite and a great out if things go wrong. Get this! Highly recommended.
George
Quick and to the point video on the value of a m deck. Includes an application and final thoughts.
Matt
This is the best marked deck BY FAR! People expect me to say the UMD but that is too expensive for almost the exact same thing! Out of everyone I performed to even the newer magicians I showed it to, not a single one noticed the markings and them not being bicycle or rider back!
Stan
Very concise guidance on adlibbing when you have the advantage. We'll done.
Brandon
Cool vid.
Nathan
Besides the Bicycle 1800s,this is the easiest marked deck for me to read. Well worth the price.
Paul
This is the easiest, clearest & most deceptive marked deck I’ve used. I loved Ted Lesley’s marked deck when released in the 1990’s, but barely used it as it was expensive & dare I say slightly ‘delicate’ to use.
The GT Speedreader is both economical and also fully printed, with no fear of scratches etc!
For an easy to use, subtle but clear marked deck you cannot (IMO) find better!
Gianluca
One of the best marked decks on the market, with really smart marking position. Excellent quality cards, Bicycle is a guarantee. Perfect shipping, as always. Highly recommended, to take and stock up on them while they are still on the market.
Dakota
Fantastic marked deck! The markings are not obvious unless you are really looking for them. This deck is extremely useful for a variety of tricks. Just make sure your audience does not suspect that any markings are on the cards and they will really be baffled!
