Should you purchase luminous or juice marked cards ?

Question: What is "shade"? and how is it different from Luminous, Juice, Flash & Tint work?

Answer: "Shade" is the generic term which encompasses various marking technologies, such as Luminous, Juice, Flash and Tint work.

You have a choice of a Luminous or Juice solution which are different formulas. Then you decide if you want to apply the solution using  Flash, Juice or Tint work marking patterns. Since you can now own the solutions, you have the flexibility to decide which shade and marking patterns are best, based upon your working situation and environment.

In summary, there 3 solutions (luminous, juice for red or juice for blue cards). These solutions can be used by incorporating juice, flash or tint work marking patterns on your cards.

Question: Will you use luminous markings on red or blue backed playing cards?

Answer: In general, luminous solution or paste/daub works best on red backed playing cards. The instructions do discuss a method of using luminous markings on blue cards. However, it should be noted, that even though luminous shade may be used on blue backed playing cards it is, generally, not recommended.

Question: What is more deceptive, luminous or juice ?

Answer: Luminous markings require the use of the filter gimmick attached to your sunglasses. Whereas, juice can be read with your naked eyes as long as you practice and train to read the marks. Therefore, juice is considered by magicians and gamblers to be the most deceptive marking method which may be read by your eyes.

(Note: People are wearing sunglasses more frequently. Even in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) sunglasses are commonplace. Therefore, wearing sunglasses to prevent people from reading your "tells" is considered reasonable. I wear sunglasses when I perform gambling expose's.)

Question: Which shade product works on red backed cards ?

Answer: Luminous (solution or paste / daub) or juice designed for red backed cards

Question: Which shade product works on blue backed cards ?

Answer: Juice for blue backed cards using large "FLASH" or smaller "Tint work" marking patterns.

Question: How much effort you are willing to put into learning to read markings ?

Answer: Luminous markings are the easiest shade to read vs. JUICE/FLASH which takes practice to read. (Note: All solutions are easy to apply.)

Question: Which solutions can you use on KEM playing cards ?

Answer: Luminous & JUICE solutions for KEM cards has been specially formulated to permanently mark KEM plastic. The KEM solutions will damage Bicycle playing card stock (paper). Conversely, the solutions designed for paper playing cards will not adhere to KEM stock.

(Note: A jar of KEM solution is $25 more expensive than the NU-CONcept paper solution. However, each jar may mark 10 - 20+ decks depending upon marking patterns you decide to use. You should assume 10 decks per jar as a worst case number.)

(Note: Currently, I have only tested & certified the KEM solutions on KEM red backed cards. Solutions for blue KEMs will be available in the future.)
