trick deck

Magician's stacked cards

A trick deck is a set of playing cards specially manufactured or modified to facilitate magic tricks or cheating.

Some contain all identical cards, others have tapered edges for easy manipulation, and some use marked backs to identify cards from behind.

Magicians use trick decks for illusions; card sharps use them to defraud other players.
