First of all, a cheater has to find a deck that has not been marked. Then, they must be able to remove the marks from the card and re-seal it without anyone noticing. This is a difficult task that requires an expert to complete.
They must also be able to exchange the deck they have marked with a legal one. This can be done by either playing with a new set of cards or asking the dealer for a deck change.
Thirdly, they must be able to read the markings on the cards in order to know which suits and numbers are on the other side of the cards. This is done using a special reading device that makes it easier to read the markings on the cards.
Fourth, they should be able recognize marked cards that are being viewed. This can be achieved using the gamblers’ test, which involves examining the backs of the cards to check for marks.
Fifth, they must be capable of detecting the markings on the cards using special lenses or sunglasses that have been made for this purpose. Video-luminous marking is the most advanced method.
This is a type of marking that is only visible through specialized gadgets and cameras. This is used in private games or by poker houses in order to analyze a game or detect collusion. To find out if there are any unusual plays, the cards are replayed later.
Video-luminous marked decks can also be used for analyzing cards. This deck can also be used by magicians who are interested. They can be a great way to have a good time and to get an advantage over the other players.
