The ultimate EDC marked deck. Get ready to replace your go-to deck!

At first glance, “Particle Pack Playing Cards” look like any other deck of Bicycle Playing Cards. And that’s exactly the point. Your audience will never suspect they’ve been discreetly marked in a way that’s instantly visible to the trained eye. With just a quick glance at the back, you’ll immediately know both the suit and value of any card.

These exceptional, air-cushioned gems from the UPSCC offer a broken-in feel right out of the box. Printed on premium quality red Mandolin stock with a perfect cut, they also flawlessly shuffle with ease—even when faro shuffling!

“Particle Pack Playing Cards” are a worker’s dream. Yet, to your audience, they’ll look just like any other normal deck of cards. The fact they’re so affordable means you can sign, rip, and beat these cards up just like you would any other deck too.

Even if you don’t perform any effects that require a marked deck, nothing beats the comfort of using marked cards. If you lose a break or miss a force, marked cards ensure you’re always prepared to pivot to a successful conclusion.

Originally created to accompany Joshua Jay’s Particle System, these special “Particle Pack Playing Cards” come in a slightly modified new deck order that enables you to quickly get into “Particle Stack”. There are also some bonus revelations built into the tuck box and some of the cards themselves. These gaff cards are accompanied by matching Jokers.

Grab a deck or a brick of “Particle Pack Playing Cards” today. Just be warned that, as soon as you get your hands on them, you’ll never want to use ordinary Bikes again!

Note—no instructions are included.

Customer reviews for Particle Pack Playing Cards

Abe
Perfect 👌
A deck is included with Josh's (stunning) book, Particle System. They look and feel beautiful. Thin crushed. The markings are just right, unlike a certain similar deck you may know....

The bonus reveal cards are a nice touch. Personally, I'd prefer just to have one reveal card and maybe the other be a different useful gaff, but that's a matter of preference and such a small thing.

The price is right! Whether or not you use them with the Particle system (which is awesome), they're a perfect EDC deck.

Highly recommended.
Skye
In short, if you are planning on working on The Particle System in a meaningful way, you'll want to stock up on these decks. Even if not, they're still worth grabbing! They look totally unassuming, feel great to handle, and the markings are very easy to read but hard to detect for the unsuspecting. There are multiple other fun features built in that will be fun to play with, but I'll let you discover those on your own!
Gerhard
Got one of these with The particle system. I have never been one for marked decks but this is a fantastic deck. The cards handle really well and the markings are quite easy to read. Even though I wear glasses. I am definitely going to he buying more of these for sure.
Steven
I bought these either the day the book was released or the next day. I appreciated that they were priced at a point they could be used as my EDC. As others have said, the handle beautifully right out of the bax.

Personally, I like the little "extras", but I can't imagine it would cause any problems for those not using them.

I do find the "at the present time" answer to the question about ongoing availability to be a little disconcerting.
Garry
A great deck, they handle extremely well, the markings are very well hidden from the spectators, but once you no were to look they are easy to see them, plus the Extra cards included, and no sticky tab which is great, which is also for a reason if you got the book then you will no the secret as to why, love the book and the videos, and now I've got the decks I'm looking forward to learning the routines, I do also highly recommend the book too, it's Awesome.
Jon
I had been anxiously awaiting this release since reading the "preview" from a few years back. I was not disappointed. Everything about this book, the deluxe edition and the magic it contains blows me away.

This is clearly highly polished well thought-out magic. A system. The organization of the effects in the book not only form complete acts, but take a newcomer to the Particle System through a series of more elegant (and involved) methods, starting with no memorization needed and building to effects that use the memorization.

This is the one book I would keep if I had to get rid of all of my others (over 350!). WOW!!
Gary
I have been waiting for Josh's particle system book to come out and now I have got I am not disappointed plus it comes with a pack of particle playing card that handle very smoothly and the markings are clear and easy to read and a lot better than some of the marked decks out there so I would pick up a couple of decks all in all a very good system and deck recommended.
Randolf
At the price point, these are killer.

It's a Reader deck not a Marked code, you can stack them into a memdeck order for extra funs as in the book, though even 8 kings or si stebbins is always worth presetting,

and Josh suggests you add Work like crimps and shorts.

If a spectator got it in their head to look for marks, you're f***** so audience management and casualness are key: and the lower price helps with that.

There are at least 3 revelation cards built in, two of which you'd have to ditch if starting from fresh sealed pack live.

There are two dupe cards (not the Jokers) which reveal other selections and another one printed on the box flap. No blanks or DF cards.

These look like a fresh pack of Bikes, you'd have to ditch two while removing the Jokers unless intending to track and use them.

With the extraneous face cards removed, 3 Faroes will get you into one of the systems.

Highly recommended *at a low price point.*
Brian
I bought these to go along with the Particle system and they do not disappoint. Very nice markings even for my older eyes. They handle well, easy to control, and well made. They were well thought out just like the Particle system. I know I will be getting more as soon as they are available.

Dead Hands Deck. And the Memento Mori NXS Playing Cards.
Christopher
Love that I could get this in brick form, as I am astounded by The Particle System and always want to have a deck like this around. The quality of the cards is fantastic. They were shipped in a timely manner and arrived safely. Can't recommend The Particle System or these decks enough!
Matthew
Lots of nifty little secrets in this deck! 😉
I really enjoy the thin stock. They spring like a dream.
They're priced right, too. A good competitor to Penguin's Maiden Backs. 🙃
Tom
I think the deck is an absolute masterpiece. It is amazing how many details and opportunities you have with just this deck of cards. However there is one big mistake in my opinion, why i can never use this deck of cards on a close-up or closer performance simply because the markings of the cards are so big and so easy to see, that even unexperienced viewers will see the markings in no time and I really wished it would be smaller or harder to see, because like this I cannot use this deck. That is so sad because I love the deck and I love the options and details in it. Sadly the markings are too obvious
Paul
I was hesitant at first to consider learning a memorised deck stack. But I’m so glad I did, because it has proved to be easier than i expected. I have found the particle deck itself, whilst not strictly necessary, to actually be perfect for the job and great to handle. The built in extras alone are worth the money.
Peter
The Particle Pack Playing Cards are an absolute steal. Not only are they more dynamic than similar marked decks from rival vendors, but they’re also more affordable - priced lower than the typical $10 range. And with Vanishing Inc.'s free shipping, the value is almost too good to be true.

What really sets this deck apart is the included gaff cards, which open the door to a whole range of additional effects beyond what you'd expect from a marked deck. It’s rare to find a deck that balances utility, quality, and price so well.

Highly recommended for any magician looking to expand their toolbox without breaking the bank.
Garry
Bought another of these a great deck perfect to go along with the book and videos I also purchased.
Russell
One of the best decks of this type out there. Josh's particle system is truly a masterpiece and put together with this deck its a marriage made in heaven. Can't recommend these enough.
Bonita

Jacob
I bought a few of these after getting Joshua Jay's particle system and since then it has been my EDC deck no matter what I am doing. I highly recommend these but worth mentioning when these area available buy a brick if you can because these do sell out fairly quick
John
I bought a couple of decks to try these out. I was concerned that the marks would be too obvious, but no one questioned anything, even when I let them handle the cards. They faro and fan very well, and it looks like these are going to be in my EDC. They are cheaper than other decks that aren't as good, plus, I love the reveals that come with it on the box and two cards. I wish they came with a double-backer, but for the price, these decks can't be beat.
Michael
These are the only cards which faro straight out of the box 100% of the time…which is necessary to set up the Particle Stack. I’m good at the Faro shuffle so for me it took about 15 seconds to do the two Faros necessary. Other decks? Maybe they work, maybe not. I bought 3 bricks. The markings? I have no problems. I wear reading glasses so if I’m going to use this deck I wear my reading glasses. There is another deck available from VI which has a different kind of optical marking and which doesn’t require great up close sight…you could use those…but they don’t Faro well, so you’d just need to spend a few minutes getting the deck in order. If you can’t be bothered to carry glasses or spend 5 minutes to stack a deck, then maybe take up another hobby. Will people see the marks if you give them the deck? I suppose so but why hand out the deck?
