Many people shudder when they hear the words pick a card, any card, as they know there is someone attempting to show off their magic skills with a lame card trick. However, like a bad accident, they may not want to look but they cannot turn away. Card tricks have been a staple in the world of magicians for centuries, at least since there have been cards, and magic trick cards have made some more intriguing than others.
Different types of magic trick cards are designed for use in different magic tricks. This can explain why few magicians will use the same deck of cards for more than one or two tricks. Some may have dimensional backings with the number and suit of the card hidden in the background that only the educated can make out. Others are blatantly obvious with two sided cards mixed in with a regular deck, which if held correctly will not be seen by the audience to have two faces.
