Poker Card Invisible Ink
A new TikTok video has caused controversy over the use of invisible markings on playing cards. While many users have argued that the host of the video was cheating, others have come to the defense of his actions. They have claimed that the host’s dumbfounded expressions prove that he was not cheating, and that the punters were likely aware of the marks before they played with him.
The invisible markings on the playing cards are invisible to the naked eye but visible in the IR spectrum. The IR signals are converted into code and relayed to a hidden device, which calculates who will win each hand. The information is then communicated via a transmitter to the player’s earpiece. This allows the player to know what kind of hand they have before it is even dealt!
Besides the marked cards, there are also invisible ink contact lenses and glasses that help players see the luminous marks on the cards. These luminous marks can only be seen by wearing IR sunglasses or contacts. It is the easiest and cheapest way to cheat in poker.
In addition to invisible ink, there are also special decks of cards that can be used to mark with ultraviolet light. Some people mark their own cards with ultraviolet pens, but it is difficult to make the markings look good and last for a long time. A good mark requires a high degree of skill, and there are few people who can do it well.
