What are luminous shade marked cards ?

• When a spectator views luminous shade marked cards with their naked eyes, the marks are not visible. As a matter of fact, the closer they look or the brighter the light they use to find marks, the less they will see. In addition, the marks cannot be detected with UV light or by using the standard "riffle test" to detect marked cards.

• The provided special filter gimmick, which is attached any pair of (medium to dark) sunglasses you own, is required to make the marks "almost magically" jump out at you. Enough filter to make 30 pairs of sunglasses is provided. (Note: Sunglasses are even popular in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) to prevent other players from detecting "tells" or reading facial expressions.)

• Luminous shade marked cards are the easiest of all "SHADE" technologies to read because the filter gimmick makes marks visible

• Luminous Shade works best on red backed playing cards. While it can work on blue backed cards, the limited contrast limits it practical use. (**)

• Luminous marks may be made as large or as small as you desire (the choice is yours)

• Large marks across the back of the card may be read up to 8+ feet away

• Small marks may be applied, so spectators hands will not inhibit reading of the marks. In addition, small marks may can also be strategically placed so they can be viewed when multiple cards are being held in a spectators hand or if cards are laying on the table.

• NU-CONcept Luminous Shade is a specially formulated solution which will not damage the finish on your cards

NU-CONcept does not use alcohol as a solvent so there is no risk of damaging the new finish used on US Playing Card Company cardboard cards (ie. Bee, Bicycle, Aviator, Hoyle, Tally-Ho, etc.). Try it yourself, put a drop of alcohol on a card and after a few seconds, wipe it off . The damage can easily be seen by reflecting light off of the surface of the card. (This can be a major problem that can expose the "secret markings" of infrared / alcohol based products). Nor does NU-CONcept use infrared inks which is documented to degrade under UV light. The most common source of UV light is normal sunlight, but, UV light is generated by almost every light source (incandescent & florescent). Therefore, you should seriously consider keeping cards marked with infrared ink in the dark to allow the ink to last longer than 1 week. (On a more positive note: People are less likely to see your IR marks in the dark :-)) These are not issues with NU-CONcept solutions because we do not use IR inks or alcohol as a solvent to mark USPCC Bee or Bicycle playing cards. In addition, as of December 2004, NU-CONcept has added a UV inhibitor to filter out UV light and virtually eliminate detection by using a UV light.

• Cards marked with NU-CONcept Luminous solution are permanent and were tested for well over 500+ shuffles because I got tired of shuffling

• NU-CONcept gives you flexibility to read marks under various lighting conditions

NU-CONcept also allows you to use the correct amount of shade under different lighting conditions. (Note: If you buy pre-marked Luminous, Tintwork, JUICE or FLASH playing cards, they may be difficult to read unless the lighting conditions match what they were designed for. In addition, your eyes may not be able to perceive shades the same as the manufacturer of the pre-marked deck.( ** Have the power of customization on your side by applying light, medium or dark "shade" to your playing cards. This flexibility allows you to match your cards to your working environment and your own visual capabilities **) NU-CONcept solutions work very effectively under incandescent, florescent or daylight because it is not dependent upon Ultra-Violet or infrared light waves which is in low supply under florescent light. With NU-CONcept YOU have complete control for your various working environments.)

The graphs above show that an incandescent light bulb generates light above 700nm wavelength (infrared frequency - yellow line/top graph). But, a florescent light contains very little infrared light above 700nm wavelength (infrared frequency and very little light below 400nm - green line bottom graph). NU-CONcept Luminous or Juice solutions do not depend upon a 400-nm (Ultra-Violet) or 700+nm (infrared) light source to be effective. NU-CONcept Luminous and Juice solutions work well regardless of your light source because it is designed to work using "luminous technology" in the "visible light spectrum" (400nm - 700nm range).

(**) Note: For blue backed cards, JUICE for blue backed cards using FLASH or Tint Work marking patterns is best. Red cards require the use of luminous or red juice or red daub.

Luminous Paste / Daub and Juice Dust (TM) is also available

(Luminous daubs or juice dust (TM) is generally not recommended, except for experienced professionals because it is more difficult to control. The luminous NU-CONcept marker/pen applicator is easier and more deceptive for beginners and intermediate customers.))

• Beginners will, most likely, find red or blue Juice Dust or N-Dust MUCH easier to work with than the regular luminous daub or Luminous Dust. An exception is Ultra-Luminous which is available in an easy to use marker or a daub/dust.
